Three different ways to climb the same step

May 9, 2024

Many times. We find that we can climb the same obstacle in different ways. It depends on the type of terrain, the weather, the personal way of doing trials or even the bike itself, which will determine what type of technique we will use.

We are going to climb this step in three different ways, all of them valid and with the same result, but the way of giving throttle, of positioning the body and the wheels is totally different.

Three different ways to climb the same step

Technique 1: Letting the rear wheel in

This technique consists of lifting the front wheel without touching the obstacle, then we let the rear wheel enter the obstacle and draw the entire line until reaching the top of the obstacle.

Technique 2: Chopping with the front wheel

For the second technique (The most technical of the 3), we will seek to hit the obstacle with the front wheel and compress the suspensions along with a clutch stroke. This way we will get the motorcycle off the ground and take the rear wheel directly from the ground to the top of the obstacle.

Technique 3: Gas blow and fly

This last form is the most "radical" of the three. It consists of giving a good burst of gas by pressing the clutch at the same time that you compress the suspensions. This way you will get the motorcycle to take off from the ground and by helping with your body leaning backwards you will get the motorcycle to fly to the top of the obstacle.

With which of the three ways do you stay? Which one did you like the most?
