x2. I fully agree. A little momentum and high RPM's is all you need.

If you don't know where you are going, it is worth walking and scouting the length of deep, soft sand. As well, scope any potential stopping points along the way.

As soon as you feel the cruiser not getting traction, STOP trying. It only makes it worse. You can high-center on sand quickly.

The sand ladders are only good to get you going/moving. Once you are moving, you will need to know where you can stop/slow down if necesarry.
