I had my tires at 30 psi, last weekend which was the first time I had been out on the uwf trails, and noticed a lot of slipping and spinning in the sand...
Would lowering or raising the pressure help any?
I'm new so be easy fellas. lol
i run mine at 30psi. any lower and they will roll off the rim. riding in sand is all about finesse.

I had alot of trouble with sand at first and slowing down on the sandy straight aways hurt me the most. Bike bogged down. Nate read and arcticle about it and said going faster and using a loose grip and not fighting the bike helped. You will feel th bike get a little squirly but I have never lost control yet. As for sandy corners it just took practice for me. The more you ride it the better you become.. Its always going to be there..
