How to climb vertical faces on a dirt bike! A small vertical face, vertical rock face, undercut log or a short steep climb is quite easy to ride up, but as do vertical climbs then your front wheel you'll need to use trials based techniques like the punch technique to get up them successfully. This is also useful for undercut logs as the bike literally jumps in the air. Before attempting vertical faces, we recommend you first try some steep banks that aren't quite vertical. We've done a training vid on these. Next learn the basics of the small practical wheelie, and the log punch techique. Then you can start on climbing vertical rock faces, vertical faces or very steep climbs.... short ones! A common theme that stands out for almost every top extreme enduro rider is they are former expert trials riders, and cut their teeth on extremely challenging terrain and undercut logs riding ultra light weight bikes. In fact, most of these guys will say the key to learning to ride fast is first slow down and get your fundamental techniques right for vertical climbs. Of course, we'll never get anywhere near the top riders, but there's a lot of satisfaction in doing things you saw as impossible only a year ago like undercut logs or vertical rock faces. Keep your body in the default body position to weight the rear wheel. Jarvis once said going fast is the easy bit, it's the slow stuff that takes skill and we've grown to love the challenge of riding tough terrain with skill, instead of just roosting and sliding our way around easy tracks. Remember to weight the bike or you won't get enough bounce upward. This technique will be invaluable if you get into any serious endurocross or hard technical riding. A huge thanks to our northern BC volunteers for not only spotting but having a go at this face too. Hearts of gold, balls of steel! See the compressed suspension?

You can use the punch technique for these vertical faces. We became addicted to watching extreme enduro vids and found this both inspiring and deflating to watch riders like Jarvis, Walker and Birch doing the impossible like these rock faces or undercut logs so easily. You can use the same technique to vertical climbs on rock faces or undercut logs. The past few years Graham Jarvis has been the king of the extreme enduro world, and we've even started our own religion based on his teachings. We even got to ask his holiness for some riding tips. Birchy was a massive help with learning the punch technique for vertical faces. Another former trials rider, Chris Birch was arguably the world's top extreme enduro rider in 2010 and has been travelling worldwide coaching since then. He confirmed that most of what we were learning was accurate, and showed us enough stuff to keep us busy well into the future.
Ride in slowly to the vertical face you want to climb with the punch technique, speed will just mess things up. If you start with smaller vertical faces and work your way up, it's surprising how easy it can be to do faces that are taller than your front wheel. I was pretty excited about making it up. The height of the obstacle should be the same distance you start your wheelie. But bit by bit we are making progress, and have been making some of the dodgiest enduro training vids in the history of motorcycling.
