    How to hill climb
    Tips on how to do a hill climb. From the start keep your body weight forward. DO NOT SIT DOWN keep your butt a couple inches off of the seat. Don’t stand all the way up. It is very important that you maintain your momentum if you do this while attempting a hill climb you have a better chance of success. Do not let your bike bog so remember to downshift and clutch it. Make sure your rear wheel has traction through the full process. Using these tips you should be able to conquer any hill that may stand in your way. With everything practice makes perfect.

    If its not all that steep, just technical, I stand up and lean forward and keep the motor in a low gear with enough throttle to keep it charging forward, but not enought to where i lose traction. if its tall long and steep with very little obstacles i get a good run at it hitting the max in each gear i can, once i hit the hill I down shift very quickly when i need to and keep my weight centered. it seems to work for me.

    Between the two I actually preferred climbing with my 250 over my 400

    Iv been looking at a hill for a while.. It's insanely steep but also really short... The problem is it levels off at the top and then keeps going but it isn't as steep. So how can I keep the speed up to make the hill without launching over that lip? I watched a friend hit it and he went straight up and slammed down losing all his momentum and he started rolling backwards.. I had to run up and help him walk the bike up the last part

    The hill is very steep, but that is not the problem. About halfway up the hill there is a suddent lip that when i hit i went 5 feet up and down on the front.Ow. This stopped me from being able to climb the rest of the hill because i lost all my momentum and it hurt. Does any one have any ideas on how to make it over the lip with no air or if not, please tell us how to keep our momentum up and not spin out becuase the hill is covered in loose gravel and big rocks.
