I would say hill climbing(except long lose hills) are more rider than machine,as my blaster can climb far biggger hills than i can,my dad will hop and climb nearly vertical cliffs and i would crap my pants if i tried to!

Default hill climbing on blaster

well thx guys, i ride in alot of different terrain, but where i'm having trouble is like reall loose little rock and cool. I am hitting it in 3rd, but i spin and can't get enough traction. I know it can't be my tires because they are like new, and i know the hills can be done because my freind does them on a 400ex. My problem is i don't know how to get more momentum, i think if i shift into 3rd at the latest possable moment, i will have enough momentum and won't have to spin up it. What do you think?

Try Sit far back as possible for max traction

yea i know. I was so afraid cause i got almost to the top and didn't make it. that sucked. Now that i've done it a few times i'm getting better at it, but i spin alot. its reall loose and i have to run it real hard in 3rd gear to make it up. My friend has a Z and he can go right up without spinning. on the other hand if we go to a ill that is packed down i can fly up it and he has some slight problems. Its just gonna take practice. I just hope its not bad to run it hard like that to make it up the hills
