Here are a few tips I learned from a fellow 4-wheeler that would have saved me from flipping my first H2 and hopefully will save you too should you get into a similar situation.

If you are going up a hill and about to flip backward throw it in neutral or push in the clutch with no brakes, your front wheels will touch back down you will roll back down the hill without flipping.

If you are going down hill as I was when I flipped it's even easier, just stomp on the gas. Your front tires will pull you forward and the rear will drop back to the ground. Sometimes when you go down a steep hill and touch the brakes the back end starts lifting to counter this just let off the brakes and it will come down. If that doesn't work stomp on the gas and back end will surely drop.

If you remember these simple rules when in a situation like that it can sure save the day.

Check out this photo from the Dakar Rally. I'm sure this person had their foot in it when touched down or they they would have ass over elbows all the way down the hill.
