Looking Good QJ. That looks like a fun hill. Is it really as smooth as it looks or does it have some bumps. If i was Troy I wouldn't wanan be behind a quad when it starts tumbling. He is nuts.:D

Nice Pictures,.

Biggest thing to remember when climbing a hill.....Keep the hamma down till ya get to the top.. :D

I know at a couple of these XC races..i'll be at the bottom of a huge hill in 1st...I kick it up into 2nd while barely rollin and I crack it wide open and hold the he11 on the best i can..:eek:

Nice pics QJ glad to see you mastered that hill! You are taking the harder way up arent you? On that angle... GJ, theres only 1 hill around here I have trouble climbing and thats because it comes pretty close to 90* at the top! Real scarey if you dont have that speed!

I guess those new tires really helped? I can see by the smile on your face you were excited. I know the feeling, we have this hill that we we jump that starts off as a gradual slop then goes straigt up at the top. When you clear the top you are about 2 feet in the air just over the top edge... A spinchter factor of 10/10.

Haha Now that you have tackled the hll, Try a Wall!! there nothing more adrenalin pumping then goin stright up and makin it!!

TIPS.
1. Scout it out for Roots Pockets and Bumps.
2. Dont Hit anything more less than 90 degrees it doesnt work!
3. GUN IT!

4. (last Resort) if your gonna wreck dont try to ride it back down chances of gettin hurt Quadruple! Just jump Off to the side and hope for the best! Hondas Are Tuff the quad will live.:devil

good job, but around here a hill aint a hill unless it is covered in sharp rocks with trees all over the place and a couple boulders to avoid.:rolleyes:

Thats a sweet looking hill. Way to go QJ.

When I climb a hill, I usually go to fast at the end, and flip over at the top.

Rico, where are those pics of those Florida guys going up that 10ft wall?

Sweet pics Tina!! When I come this summer you'll have to take me there and let me take a crack at it. I love hillclimbing, as long as I know my quad will make it up. I've hit some pretty big ones before following our group and didn't make it because my paddles were worn down too much. Backing down a hill is pretty scary when you are most of the way up and its hella steep. I've always been able to find a way up though, even if my group ends up waiting a few minutes for me. I hate having the slowest quad! This summer though I might trade in my 300ex and get a Predator. Those are awesome! I haven't ridden one yet but hopefully will be able to soon. One of the local quad shops is waiting for a demo bike they can take to the dunes and they already told me I could come along to test ride it. I can't wait!

Hey girl, this is by my house sorta.not by the dunes we will be riding..:( this is all hard pack in that hill.... Im still slow at going up it, especially when that front end comes up!:eek: But from someone only riding for a year, I think I have come along ways...;)

I like climbing on my quad but when I dont make it its a pain to get back down but with my dirtbike all i have to do is get it to where i can lift to turn it aroun and head back down the hill. But quads are fuuu-uun in sand hill climbs. Just my personal preference.

Sand hills is why my kids like Bad Lands. If you get stuck they just hold the front brake and hit the gas, buring the back end. Then they yell for dad.
