I seem to have trouble when sand constantly changes form (hard to deep, loose sand) Any advice and keeping up speed and balance?

yeah...just give it more gas...Sounds crazy, but it really works!...It's lifts up the front wheel...the rule of thumb I use, is if in doubt..give it more gas...
and I'm really not kidding!

When in sand........
You want to stay on the gas, lean back a bit to put more weight over the back tire or tires and less on the front.
The trick to sand is having the confidence to stay on the throttle and keep a steady momentum. If you notice in sand when you let off the gas the front will immediately wants to dive in and stop. Most times I don't even use the brakes in the sand. The sand itself will work as brakes.
Best advise I can give is practice, practice, practice.
