slippery hill climbing

i would like to hear from you girls about any terrible hill climb experience u had.
heres mine:
i had a race today and it rained yesterday, and there was this big steep uphill with a little creek at the bottom that was ok for two laps or so then it started to get hairy. the ground practically became soft clay.
at least 5 riders were stuck at various points on the hill, i got stuck between my bike n another guys bike and this other guys bike was resting on my bike and another guys bike was totally turned in the wrong direction, guys were swearing n riders trying to pass us fell as well and another bunch of riders unable to pass this human tangle waited at the foot of the hill. guys steping n riding over each other's bikes trying to get traction! i would get up and this other guy trying to squeeze past would clip my handlebar and i went down, n he fell futher up too!
in the end the only way i made it up the hill was with some1 pushing behind.
it was awful, but now when im feeling clean n comfy at home i think it should have been a pretty entertaining sight.

i think dirtbikers are a dangerous and loony bunch, dragging 100+kg objects up steep slippery hills only to fall and have about another 160kg roll over them. :eek: :p

you what?! you used a bunch of guys as traction! thats wicked!!

how i wished i done the same...:p

i wasnt riding on the track much that day.:think
i got stuck and missed the checked flag at moto1 and didnt start for moto2. got unstuck during like the last 5min of moto2.because i DNF boths motos i didnt qualify for the last moto!i was dead last but when i saw the 1lap board then the checkered flag i was so happy! silly eh. :confused:

yeap it was a new track abit futher up north. it was supposed to be the old school kind of mx track but there wasnt enough time to do the jumps. so we just had lots of up n downhills and off cambers. me and my friends made a pact that if it rained we'd all just go somewhere else n ride, but u know how it is with races, when we got there we would just get drawn in n end up racing.

i loved being at the starting gate and getting all freaked out by 15 other guys bigger than me all pinning their throttles like crazy. my elbows got clipped by a couple of riders handlebar, and had to try my best not to get pushed off line and into a ditch. my secret weapon? shout or scream at them. :p then you can see their helmets turn in ur direction, then you move in for the kill and gas it, viola you reach the corner before them!

thats all for the muddy slippery race! cant remember much, still having that post-race effect
