My late father took my brother and I to a hill climb outside of Clarkston, Washington around 1962-63. I was 7 or 8 years old at the time, today I’m 65. Such pleasant memories.
These tracks are INSANE, no videos do it justice how steep they are. And those metal spikes in that tire, the danger of how fast they spin on the human body? Jesus Christ those guys are nuts. I don’t care what kind of fender is wrapped around that swing arm, that bike rotates around enough to trap you between it will ruin your day
In 50 years this hill will have a split and the track will be called a canyon/valley... And in 500 years everyone will wonder what geological forces made that :-)
Well I ride street now and yes I started on mini bike - Dirtbike (YZ) but damn the motor the spiked tires. 2nd - 1st gear wide open and ride the torque. It's great to watch motorcycle enthusiasts. Makes my day.
Je connais absolument rien à la moto. Cependant je reconnais tout le travail des participants et la dangerosité du terrain. Bravo et il est hors de question pour moi de m'y inscrire.
I grew up in PA.. I used to climb spoil piles and eroded high walls in the strip cuts after the mined them. The steeper the hill the crazier we thought we were. Handle bars and plastic get expensive... Miss those times
Have to admit, this is the ONLY vid I have ever watched and listened to the music, I hate vids with crap music over the engine noise but this one rocks LOL.with this vid you get the best of both 10/10 that was fkn awesome, Joe Satriani ???? great vid mate.
This is one of those sports that are great while you do them most of the time that is but when you get to 60 you wish you hadn't. To be young again. Great video made my day.
Back in the day I built a hill climber, BSA the Donstall 750 barrels, Nitro and Alcohol could go straight up 1000 feet in 10 second or less. Great Video Thanks Mr, Camou
hey the guy in baby blue and black, blows up his bike, so another guy lets him use his bike..... now that's freaking fantastic. yeah I just may have to sub and like this channel. much respect for that guy 😎👍💯💯💯
He got the highest (and won the event), but correct me if I'm wrong he goes out of bounds before going through the flags. Still, thanks for letting my cut to the best run.
years of motocross experience here... lemme tell ya, anybody that attempts such a feat deserves at least an honorable mention! Balls of steel for this hill! I'd take one look at that thing and just say... hard pass!!!
Not sure who needs drug testing the riders or those standing next to the course Thanks for posting some wild build machines and skill riders taking life by the horns on what could be the ride of a life time. It's awesome
C'est un truc dingue, imaginé par des Américains et importé en France - où nous avons de belles pentes - dans les années 1970. Au début, les concurrents tentaient de monter avec des motos de cross, parfois de trial, puis on vit des engins spéciaux, bricolés par des mécaniciens déments, on en a même vu à deux roues motrices. C'est toujours de la belle mécanique. Le problème vient des pentes très fortes et les motos ont tendance à se cabrer, il faut donc allonger le bras oscillant et monter une roue arrière de très grand diamètre, un pneu le plus large possible avec ce qu'il faut pour accrocher le terrain... et il faut aussi un moteur très puissant, avec un gros couple à bas régime, mais aussi le plus léger possible. Malheureusement, ces montées impossibles ravagent les pentes et causent une érosion peu compatible avec la sauvegarde de l'environnement.
I've known two retired European superbike riders and they were two of the most cheerfully mental individuals I have ever met. The kind of people who would enjoy riding a bike uphill only if there were six-inch steel spikes ready to puncture you like a sausage on the tires. This is some real mad max stuff
Such a silly sport! I LOVE HILL CLIMB! Have power, use power effectively by getting it to the ground, have a little luck, watch your bike tumble. This really is a lot of fun for me to watch!
This is an old sport.....my dad used to compete in these in the 70s...... When I was at one at age 6 or 7 he talked them into letting me run one on a 50cc Honda Elsinore......I made it as high as guys on 175 cc bikes....but didn't count......got a big cheer from the crowd and made my Dad proud for his little kid to take a run at a hill at that age and do about a well as most of the men .....they were wheelie-ing over into the woods......as I started spinning at about 3/4 of the way up I just layed it down
@@randym4917 I think mine was a 1975 though cause it was almost all silver en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_MR50 Now I wish I had it back as they seem to be collectable.... I moved up to an rm 80 Suzuki next.....then 100 street and trail Yamaha.....
What a fantastic event, challenging and entertaining, wish we could have things like this in the PNW, easy to stay safe, fun, really fun to watch, even months later on YT, waiting for the 2020 footage! :)
Idk If they still do them , but several groups in Washington used to have hill climb comps. Into the 90s Port angelas Washington and another one near washougal I think.
ABC Wide World of Sports used to always cover a hill climb competition every years in the 1960's. The competitors were usually biker gang types. The motorcycles that they always used were single and twin engine Harley Davidson motorcycles on stretched frames. I recall that the hillclimb was always on one very steep hill in Pennsylvania, a steeper incline than in this video. 25 or 30 entries would compete and one or two usually made it over the top. Of course no one wore any protective equipment.
I rode a bike up a hill once. I never had the trouble these guys did. I found a tarmac road was both safest and far more easy on my bike that rough ground.
Not a big fan of metal music, but when I heard it paired with this insane sport and spike studded car tires for a rear tire, it just seemed to fit perfectly.
Anyone else that grew up with Widow Maker out in Utah back in the 70's? Use to watch it on the Wide World Of Sports on Saturday. Glad to see the sport is still alive.
It would be OK if they didn't keep falling off. Sheesh. They sound like angry bees. All joking aside, a lot of really impressive bike-riding and way beyond anything I could even attempt. Thanks for sharing.
Our hillbilly motorcyclists in Austria, Europe, ride such races as downhill events. Until now, everyone has always gotten lost and nobody has found the goal! Warm grunts from Austria!
When I was young we used to go out to saddleback bike park in LA . We used to try the matterhorn. Steve McQueen was out there all the time and he is the only one I saw make it.
I have never seen these races before tonight and WOW! i'm assuming they are scored on who makes it the highest and not just who finishes at the top? I cant remember even seeing anyone cross the finish line ... My Goodness! Intense isn't the right word!
C'est dingue, ça se passe en France et je n'arrive pas à trouver un commentaire en français, bon ceci dit je ne les ai pas tous lus. C'est spectaculaire et plaisant à regarder, bruyant aussi, mais ça fait parti du spectacle. Par contre, je ne suis pas sûr que les écolos apprécient ce genre de manifestation, tant pis pour eux !🎸
I think adding some extra weight to the front wheel could help alot. Ive seen RC micro crawlers add wheel weights to the hub caps to lower the center of gravity so it doesn't flip over when making steep climbs. You could probably do that same thing here by adding 30-40 lbs on the front wheel so it doesn't flip over the back wheel.
@@stupidhead9117 a larger diameter wheel would go far - each bump, knob, etc. would be absorbed better kicking up a smaller fraction of the overall height, the rotating weight of a larger wheel would be conversely slower but ought to be more stable leading to better overall control. curving the front fork back over the front wheel (trail) = slower steering, but the rider is basically going straight up and absorbing the bumps opposed to avoiding them. yes I would try with bigger wheels and a simple frame with a low center behind the front wheel- interesting project
You can kinda tell from the start if they’re good or not. I knew that yellow jumpsuit dude would make it because his balance was so good all of the way through! There ought to be a nice rut up the mountain by the end! 😂
I saw another one of these that looked very difficult as well. Not sure about the name but it has a very large net to the left hand side and towards the top it goes from dirt to what looks like either limestone or some kind of shale. I don't know how these guys do it. That has to be such a tough balance on keeping forward momentum but at the same time if you give too much throttle the rear tire will spin which starts to kill momentum. This is so damn cool 😎
This is still tame compared to the old WIDOWMAKER in Utah, 1980 at the 1000 ft marker I was there. I would like to make the trip and see this in person.
@@michaelcoker7058 hey buddy maybe it was your cooler I helped lug up the hill to the marker?, smoke from our fire went across track and shut down the race until marshals came up to put it out, and remember "criss Mckay" from wild world of sports walked down from the top to do a "spot" just opposite us,,,,yeh it was awsome, thank you SLC Bees MC club!!
I love the diversity in bike design and tire spikes, great work, big balls love it! BUT WHY has nobody shown up with a front wheel drive version, that would change the game !!!!
Me & my cousin used to do this when we were 15 & 16, only back then we didn't have the bolts coming out of the tires. Some of the best memories I have.
I love dirt bike hill shooters! Some freinds and I used to travel up and down west coast circuit and compete. These are mostly big eruro 4 strokers. We didn't have anything like those. But we built CR 500s and KX 500s stretched them and ripped it up! Good times
KX500, the bike that shouldn't have been built, bad to the bone. Like to see the KT250 go up it, might take 5 minutes. With a tire mod, I think she'd do it.
Just like sled climbs. Lol! Though I think the most insane thing I've ever seen is the 1/4 mile boat drags. I don't know where it was, but I seen some sports thing on TV about 30 years back and some of those guys looked like they'd ripped the cockpit of an F16, stuck half of it on a 10,000 -15,000 HP boat and said **** it, let's rock! The sheer number of near fatalities was just mind boggling. And unlike strip racing, when they lost it, it was like seeing a fighter jet at the speed of sound sneak a little too close to terra firma. Instant disassembly. Craziest sport I've ever seen.
Me too. Had the first satellite dish in our small town in western Finland back In early 1988... And all the channels were free!!! NBC, MTV etc... Noboby here knew who was Jay Leno, except me.

The hill climb wasn't the most challenging part; avoiding the rear tire in a crash is.
