- Here is my first of many Hill Climb Tips and Tricks videos. This one is meant to help you with those rocky, rutted hills that are tough to keep your momentum on. I hope it helps!
I admire you alot for taking the time to make these videos, you show the off-road community that this sport is for anybody with a passion to ride and race and that if you apply yourself no matter what sex or size, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. And to be honest you would leave me in the dust lol, keep up the great vids! 👌🏻
+Twisting GRIPS Thank-you very much :D. That is exactly the message I want to convey! It's so true. Anything is possible if you have to drive and put in the work.
Just want to say, your wheelie vid I watched a couple of weeks ago really helped a lot
Terry Rich That’s great! I’m glad it helped :). Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback!
me too:-)
You're an inspiration kiddo! Keep up the great work. Even at my age, not too old to learn some new tricks and you make it fun. Thanks 🐕 and your dog is a good boy.
+frank mcgachy Wow, thanks a lot Frank! Yes, he's such a good boy, he's always with me when I'm filming :).
interesting to hear how you have these subtle techniques to get up, over and beyond all the obstacles. Thanks for being so generous in sharing the knowledge...sign of a true and passionate rider. Your work is always appreciated and enjoyed.
+Hunter 84 That really means a lot! I'm so happy to share whatever tips and tricks I learn as I progress as a rider. Teaching it to others just ingrains it even more into my head anyways!
Yes , all can be lost when you're thrown back on the seat which usually leads to the front wheel coming over when climbing a rough steep hill .. Like you say , as long as you can keep one foot on the pegs you're still able to shift your weight over the handle bars and in control of the front end coming up . You're a great little rider . For me it's not about full speed all the time . There's more enjoyment in the technical stuff and trying to get through it without your legs flaying every where . Getting through it without putting your foot down feels pretty dam good .The interior of BC has so much to offer with all the different terrains . Have fun and stay safe
Thanks Meg! Enjoy your humble words of wisdom. Please keep learning and sharing. You rip!
This vid made my hill climbing soooo much better. All the difference in the world! Thanks Megan
Just subscribed after watching a few videos over the last couple days. Keep up the good work. What your doing is awesome for the community.
CHANCE1 216 Thanks man! I really appreciate that!
Wow! Finding your channel recently, and now checking out some oldies, how far you've come! Super cute in this one ;) Great vids.
Love your videos they really help im new to riding started a lil late im 44 but u only live once right ..keep up the great work pretty lady.
Love your videos, always help me on my riding techniques, Thanks.
I watched your vid then went up a long steep rut, I did exactly what you showed and it worked great. Thanks a lot! I started riding in 1965 rode for about 23 years then was off the bike for about 27 years. I bought a 2016 Husqvarna FE 450 last year and have been kicking it pretty good. Thinking about doing some enduros.
Very well explained. Congrats on the 4000 subs. You have grown very quickly with excellent content. Thanks for all your hard work.
+azdesertdog Woohoo! I hope it continues to grow like it is! It's going to be a full time job pretty soon :D.
This transformed my riding. Thank you!!
Based on the grip rub marks on your thumbs, I can see you've busy riding as well as working! As usual good hill climbing tips. Glad to see the new vid. Look forward to seeing some new racing vids.
Haha it's funny you noticed those! The rub marks are from my first race of the season. I guess my hands have gotten a little soft haha! New vids are coming soon :).
Great tip, I learned the hard way that things get out of control fast when not on the pegs in a technical climb
Thanks for the pointers Megan, I’m guilty of kicking with both feet from time to time.... its a bad habit.
Thank you for these awesome tutorials. Excellent content, beautiful scenery and quality information and advice.
I really enjoy your videos, thanks!
Rick Sweet Thanks for the positive feedback!
Thank you for the tips Megg...i am just learning to ride dirtbike about 1 month😊
great tips cheers ill give them ago.keep them coming.great that spring is there.winter starting here.
Hi Meg's, I just got my 2017 KTM 300xc w. I haven't been riding yet ,the weather😠😠. But I've really learned a lot from viewing your channel. Keep up the good work
Thanks
really good point here is to "dab" IF YOU HAVE TOO! putting your foot down can be just as dangerous (potential to lead to injury) as taking the risk to throttle through with feet on the pegs.
You are really great at articulating your experience. It's a great help!
Wow thanks! I'm really glad to hear that ☺️.
I wish I could ride like you, thank you for all the great videos.
You should do more of these "How To" videos, I haven't found many videos that actually explain riding techniques and also show them well. Super helpful for a noobie like me
Great vid Meg!! About 90-95% of my enduro riding is spent standing. But when is it appropriate to sit? Hope u keep the vids coming. :) You've got a great skill set! And well just flat out gorgeous as well.
I really appreciate the feedback. You're too kind! :) I'll keep them coming!
Great! I'm always surprised how much it helps riders to have one foot dabbing in their muscle memory. I found side hill traverses a good place for beginners to begin patterning the movement.
Hi Megan, gidday from Australia, I love your work and your passion for riding is obvious, it's really great to see! Thanks for sharing your latest video! Please keep them coming, you'll certainly grow your fan base and make all your existing subscribers very happy! Moose does an amazing job behind the camera, is he naturally gifted or did you have to train him to operate the controls? Cheers and best of luck! Paul
Thanks Paul! Glad to hear you're enjoying my videos all the way in Australia! Thanks for supporting my channel :). Yes, Moose was just born with his abilities hahaha. Such a good dog!
I guess once you start the climb you commit to it. Good video👍
seeing it slowed down REALLY helped. good tip!
As always great info. hopefully I will be getting out to the Kelowna area this summer. trails look to good to pass up.
Thanks! I hope you do end up coming out this way. The snow should be all gone soon and conditions are going to be perfect!
So did you loose balance do to a rock or a tree stump?! Maybe more info on the different terrain conditions and how they effect traction?!
Keep the shiny side up! And those videos coming
+be4t.nl Thanks for the feedback! I'll try to make some more detailed vids. :)
Love the videos, i am vertically challenged so the videos are really helpful.
Thanks for this! I use this tip and so useful! Keep going the tips!
Great! Thank you, i'll keep this in mind next time, it will help me 😊
Great video Megan, keep it up!
+Teddy F Glad you liked it Teddy!
Fantastic video megs
I see what you mean, makes sense. Thanks for the tip.
+TUFShoes You're very welcome :D.
I'm guessin' that hill is a lot steeper than the video looks like it is. We had some when I moved to West Virginia from Maine that were just about inconquerable! That is actually one thing that's always come naturally to me (once I got past the getting off of the bike unintentionally on the downhill side of the bike!!) ...a very painful lesson.....all the way down....!! You hit it right on the nail's head though, staying on the pegs is the whole thing otherwise the only thing pushing the back tire into the ground is the weight of the bike alone. Great work and from an 'old school rider', you should be in Endurocross really soon, just stay healthy (read uninjured!) Great videos all, Thanks : )'
Yes the video never gives hills any justice. It was fairly steep but nothing crazy. Haha nothing worse than falling on the downhill side! Thanks again for the feedback Timm, it's always appreciated :).
+timm white You always have good input Timm.
Megan's videos are so great compared to the dusty, caliche ridden stuff (with several exceptions) that we've got here in Texas! It truly looks like dirtbike heaven up in B.C. to me.....my humble input is just reaction to all of the well ridden, well filmed, well edited, and extremely well narrated stuff here!! Thanks but all credit goes to Megan : )' .....and with any luck, maybe I'll see y'all down the trail!
Great tip there. Good edit too.
Thank-you!

Your like a machine Megan:)
+FredAARDVARK Haha thanks!
Nice, the slow motion video helps, thank you!
Pro tips from a sweetheart that rides like a pro! Gotta love it! 💖Braaaaaaap!
Looks like good fun but hard on the countryside. Trials tyres are kinder.
Nice I have to try that thanks
Good tip to remember, cheers
Great info
Good tip. Thanks!
DualSport No problem! Thanks for watching :D.
Cool, thanks for responding. If you get bored, check out my channel. Got some vids of my son and daughter trail riding with me. BTW you make nice, easy to follow how-to video's. Thank you!
Thank you I'll try that next time.
+Moncho_43 No problem! I hope it helps.
Great tip, thanks for sharing :)
I love your video
beautiful rider
Excellent advice and I'll definitely keep this in mind once I get my new-to-me 2000 EXC 200 set up in the next few weeks. This is my first 2-stroke and I'm considering putting a G2 throttle cam on during the setup, but many folks say that if you have good throttle and clutch control, it's not needed on the 200. Do you have any advice on that? Thanks!
+daddister Thanks! I had actually never heard of the G2 throttle cam until you mentioned it here. I looked it up and it looks like a pretty neat idea. Could possible make getting traction in tricky/technical terrain a little easier. I definitely wouldn't say it's a must on the 200 though. It's pretty tame and manageable. Thanks again for the great feedback :).
and also commit to the climb, second guessing yourself is never good. Would love to see you lead a ride for the women at a Rocky Mountain adventure Riders event this year! We get a handful of women and it's been my goal to get someone that could lead them and show pointers it's never the same with a guy versus a women on women when out riding.
+Meeker Extreme That sounds like something I would really like to do. How can I get involved in that?
I wanna go!!!
good point
she is so cute :)
i agre
And we are back. And are all those brands at the start your sponsorships???
Btw your bike still sounds weird
Its a two stroke. That's is why it sounds higher pitched @julian Wilson
I forgot to ask: do you have an aftermarket flywheel weight installed on your 200 or is it stock? I'm also curious as to what gearing you're running. Thanks and keep up the great riding!
My flywheel is stock and I'm running a 14 tooth on the front and a 48 on the rear. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it :).
Thanks!
Paddling in the air is not very efficient. The advantage of having shorter legs is that you have to learn the proper technique... I am also one of them. Excellent video.
Yes, it will make us better riders in the long run before for now, the struggle is real haha!
Thanks!
+plumbit111 No problem!
sei fortissima ;) brava
Great Vid, Megan! :) Have you got any thoughts on how to reduce the pressure on the one's arms? I find I end up getting 'pulled' up and behind the bike instead of it driving me up the hill climb. This can be HUGELY fatiguing on the arms...
Thanks Merlin! Thanks for watching :D. Something that help with your arm fatigue is to squeeze you bike with your legs. It's tough to get used to but it will help hugely in the long run!
Thanks for your reply, Megan :) Yeah, I've been doing that also...I find myself slipping round a little tho. But I guess every little bit of bike/body contact helps. I always cover the front brake (and clutch) while I ride and one thing I've figured out recently is that by using that finger to hold on to the bar gives me just a little more power in the right hand to hold on more and makes a HUGE difference. I leave the clutch covered at all times tho just in case I need to modulate the power or go over a larger obstacle.
i think im going in too slow .. the boys are in 3rd and im in second.. ive got good balance im just getting psyched out
finaly a vidoe
+Jack Verrall Hahaha oh jeeze I know right? I've been stuck working up north and haven't had much time. I'll be making more videos soon :D.
Why does it sound like your reading something on all your videos? LOL thank you for the lessons!
Hi Moose!
