January 21, 201115 yr What on a Beamish? best advice as you are near go and watch Steve Saunders the master of hills, I think his secret is not to anticipate grip, tis all in the legs
January 21, 201115 yr Get your body right down on the bike, Keep the throttle on constant, Don't shut off until your certain you've made it. & if you have to, slip the clutch for a second. Edited January 21, 201115 yr by BenBeta23
January 21, 201115 yr Keep your feet on the pegs, as soon as you dab you take the wieght off the rear tyre and it has less grip.
January 22, 201115 yr Keep your weight farther back on the rear tire and slip your clutch to maintain constant throttle and maintain momentum through the climb. Dont make sudden throttle adjustments as you can loose traction. 3rd and 4th gear are great to work with. Best way to learn is practice practice practice.

January 25, 201115 yr Yes, and we all put our feet down sometimes. he just said to not to or you will loose grip when you dab. So just don't do it, okay If it was as easy as not putting your feet down, and we all did it (not putting a foot down) no-one would have a problem getting over any obstacle and we'd all be pretty good trials riders, eh? The reply I found amusing was like asking for tips on how to water ski and getting told to not fall in the water. I will get back under my rock if no-one shares my POV
January 26, 201115 yr I might suggest an alternat method, all depending upon the hill,and the run-up. If one has a bit of a run area, accelerate as hard and quickly as one can at the bottom, getting high revs and storing some energy in the bike to carry you up without spinning or having to apply power over slippry roots and such using then steady power or none at times. Momentum can get you a long way toward the top! And with less effort!
