Sandstorm<br />

It’s a curious addiction we Northern Europeans have – to go blasting around desolate beaches<br />

on our dirt bikes in the biting cold of mid-winter. Le Touquet was probably the original and best.<br />

Editor JB got to witness it before the dunes proper were made off-limits and he remembers the<br />

massive carnage at Le Goulet which combined a first turn with massive dunes. The noise of 1100<br />

motorcycles trying to scream their way through the dunes was one thing, but the physicality – like a<br />

massive bar fight, only with bikes – was another. The Red Bull Knockout at Den Haag in Holland<br />

(in November) wasn’t quite as tough, but riding beach sand is never exactly easy either…<br />
