Nice pics and not your average trailsfor sure. I can see where the sprocket change would help.
I hear you on feeling it, when I come back from a track day I am hurting for days
Great post, thanks.

Cool ride pics Thunderchild, always fun to see what kind of terrain others are riding, that looks pretty challenging!!!!
Question for you....... what kind of exhaust pipe does Vurtle have that appears in that first pic on the trailer?? I don't think I've ever seen that before.
for deep sand, what works best for me is lowing the air pressure to 9-10 psi (front and back), standing on the pegs and leaning back while pulling on the handlebars. That position seems to keep me from burring my front tire and gives me a micron of control on direction....

I think you're on to something about the tire pressure I was running a lot higher than that. Around 20 psi in both. I don't have any rimlocks yet and I didn't want to take a chance on the tire shifting and taking the valve stem with it.
