[QUOTE="DAB, post: 705626, member: 21707"] If you watch the top riders (or watch a video), you'll see them really getting squatted down when climbing, with knees bent and the body low. Then move forward and back to regulate the weight on the rear tire and manage traction. If the front starts to come up, you want to get low and move your body to the front (get your crotch on the gas cap!) because if you have to let off the throttle to keep from wheelying then you are not going to make it up a really steep hill. Too much forward will unweight the rear and break traction. So the key is to keep steady throttle and low center of gravity and move your weight forward and back as needed. Maybe the biggest thing to learn on hills is how to get off gracefully without tossing the bike into ground loops with fenders and other parts flying! If you can't make it, try to step off on the uphill side and rotate the bike around and underneath you. Always get yourself above the bike. Once you master the ability to stop gracefully, then you can go at hills without fear. Hope this helps! If not, we sell fenders. dan brown www.trialstrainingcenter.com [/QUOTE]
