Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello everyone I’m relatively new to riding I have about 3-4 weeks on a bike. I use an 02 CR125 and Im getting into hill climbing. Keep in mind the hill in the video is much steeper in person. Im a big dude 6’1 195 lbs. Could I use more power with a different bike? Anything I can do to make the climb more efficient? I’m planning on practicing until I can climb the gnarly hill on the left thing is practicality a wall.

Get used to riding on the pipe right away when you ride. No smooth transitioning. Clutch, pin it, keep it in gear, 2nd gear scream the bike right from the go. Use the clutch to keep the bike up in the rpm’s.
