Steering is less effective on loose surfaces like sand, and the front tire tends to dig into it rather than leading the bike in a different direction: it is way too easy to overwhelm that front tire.
That is why, steering is frequently accomplished by skidding the rear tire, so pointing the nose of the frame in the new direction while the front tire still rolls in the previous direction, like supermoto riders do even on asphalt.

Man I love that stuff. If I was only 30 years younger and made out of rubber like I was then, I'd be all over that
