what do you guys do to make it up those hills with the lips at the top? And on really steep hills which is better, leaning really far foward or midway so you still have traction?

Most large steep hill are conquered at the very bottom before you even start the climb. Momentem is all it takes to climb hills. If you have to lean forward to keep the front end down then most likely you are hitting the hill with to little speed at the bottom.

If you are talking about hills like "the wall" in H4, yes you lean forward and "stair step".....when you just leave the ground.....mash the hell out of your back brake and keep leaning forward until your quad flattens out....kinda hard to tell you how to do it over the net.......but Ive been through a lotta handlebars/stems and F'd up my plastic to get it right.

just judge it as you are going up it and change ur body position depending on how its going

Lean forward if its big, then center it more and blip the throttle if there's a little lip.

For smaller steep hills, just treat them like a jump.

I lean back at the bottom of the hill and as the front end fells light I slowly lean forward

Just hit it haulin arse, stand on your heelgards and lay on your stomach kind of and when you get to the top hit your rear breaks and it should knock your bike flat.

hit it with as much speed as you can and lean foward. and make sure there is enough room on the other side to land! trust me! LOL!
