Well, thats probably why you're not making it up the hill. Depending on how sudden the hill went steep, if you hit it at 40 mph, you bounce back (usually) from the rebound and that's where you lose traction and then it all goes downhill from there (literally!) Usually, when my friends and I are hillclimbing, we roll up to a hill about 10 mph and then just pin it going up. Depending on how long the hill is you might have to use your clutch to keep your RPM's up and let off sometimes to dodge trees or keep the front end down. These are some steep hills were going up too. Some are pretty long too.adam728 said:It's amazing how you can hit the bottom of a hill at 40 mph and hold it wide open all the way up and not make it.
Good eye! Those were at the Flyin' P Ranch during the Dallas SpodeFest of '98. The second pic was Uwe Hale on (or should I say, "off") his WR250.tx246 said:that looks like texas dirt to me gomer. where are yall in those pics?
