may be wrong but looking at the video it may be your eyes are looking at what you don't like rather than what ..you do like .. ..
you really must look where you want to go ...if you see three ruts and look at the one you don't like you will instantly be in it ... don't look down too much at that speed around 25 metres ahead and nowhere else
if the front and rear are in different ruts and you have a little momentum whhipping the clutch in and allowing the rear to free wheel over is the best bet but this will only work on shallow ruts such as you were in at a reasonable steady pace say 15 mph plus .its very difficult to get the rear to join the front in any thing like a deepish rut using drive
..if you are proper cross s rutted the gas will not help ..as a cure best to have a little more pace to start with as its easier to balence and steer ....pick your line and then never ..ever look down near trhe front wheel you already have your line and will miss the next vital peice of information
once your in one stay in it no matter what ...if the front is trying to climbout of it it wiggle the bars from side to side a little and it will stay in ..the front is more likely to climb into the next one as its being pushed with no drive of its own so grips the side oof the rut a whole lot better grrr ..its a little to heavy to try bunny hopping
I hate ruts
oh and never take easy stuff for granted
