Hi all,

Still quite new to the trials scene:).Just been out on my new bike down to my woods.. It was so wet and slippery on the hills I could not get up them. How can I stop this?

Body position?

New tyre?

Throttle control?

Help greatly appreciated

Hill climbs body position, squat down on the tank = get your crotch close to the fuel tank. This puts pressure on both wheels, keeps front down and weight on the rear. Feels funny the first couple times but it works.

Try riding it a gear higher, will probably need a little more throttle but a gear higher will help keep the rear from spinning (less torque hitting the rear tire). Add to that slipping the clutch and this should help.

Throttle control + slipping the clutch = good things in mud.

New rear tire always helps.

Generally riders will drop rear tire pressure to around 2 or 3 psi (depending on tire, rider etc...) for muddy conditions.
