Lol, I just thought there was a chick there that is really into hill climbing and wanted everyone to JAM IT man JAM IT!! Yeah, I think they just looped the sound from a run.
Wished it still was that way… Utah has been destroyed by growth. I remember this event. Was a blast.. we thought the drive from bountiful was far… lol.
I grew up with Kerry Peterson’s kids. He was a badass, and still is. I went with them to the Tracy and Washington hillclimbs in the mid 90’s. His sons were very successful hill climbers as well. Cool family and great video. Thanks for putting this on the interwebs! Kerry, his son Robie and his youngest son Brett.
One of my heroes as a young man, and he doesn't even know it. My mom was one of the few very few women doing hill climbs and hair scrambles back in the early '70s. She was married to a guy called Weyburn speak everyone called him Zeke, he is the one that got her into it. When I was a kid my uncle tie rags to branches through the paths that the cattle/sheep had made in the woods and every weekend about 15 guys would come over and race through there. The sound of those two strokes made me feel like it was Christmas my birthday I lost my virginity and got a brand new car all at once.
Used to drive by that area as we went to southern Utah. Now it is full of track houses and southern Utah is like Disneyland with bikes and 4wheelers. Not sure any of this has been an improvement.
When I watch classic footage like this, I like to imagine time travel being real and all of a sudden someone shows up with a modern bike and says, "watch this..."
One of my best friends in highschool was named Bill Harrison but he wasn't no 270lbs but he did love his Harleys and classic Pontiacs I miss the days of rolling around in his 1970 Catalina. So lucky to have had the chance to work on those cars and have so much fun with them especially graduating in 2004 most of that old school muscle car stuff wasn't really around it was all Hondas Toyotas and Subarus
I grew up near there and attended that event MANY times. There's house's everywhere there now. The ruts are still visible on the hill in places from when they moved the course to more difficult areas. Alas no more hill climbs there, but the hang gliding and paragliding have been awesome. Ya have to go to croyden now (I think )
I grew up in Holladay. My wife, I and my friend watched Carry Peterson climb it in '81. It was KUED that was there filming. All those years have not been kind to the Salt Lake Valley, IMHO.

We had to ride to hill climbing around Tracy Calif mid 70s on mostly stock bikes. Ride them there and go for it. At the time the XL 350 Honda single was great for that,stay in second gear as long a you could.
And now fast forward to the present time Red Bull pays its riders millions of dollars to do these kind of hills and other sponsors, these men didn't have nothing equipment wise or safety wise but yet they did the sport and made it what it is now
lol Have you ever found yourself looking at an elder with awe and wonderment as they conquered things that would shatter the lesser youth? Have You ever caught yourself saying, "Damn, We don't make them like that anymore!"? Well, have you ever wondered why We don't make them like that anymore? Because We are not Allowed to make them like that anymore... I was a kid watching folks get maimed and torn apart on bikes, yet, I too followed those tire treads into Traction. Sadly as Safety becomes a paramount pursuit and bubble wrapping society is well under way, We are a dying breed. Toughness is being labeled Toxic or Counter to the Sex..lol.. I just want to give a nod to the rest of us long forgotten Men and Women willing to put more than just our Pride on the line in our pursuit of entertainment and personal goal crushing achievements. Long live us busted up Bikers, well, with ample Beer and meds being provided of course. XP
@@fjb666 That's horrible. Yeah, when you're about to wipe out on a quad sometimes it's a reaction to put your feet down, but you never want to put your legs down while on a 4 wheeler. I've had my back calves shredded on a 3 wheeler because of that. Then again, I wasn't wearing proper gear. It's so important to wear gear. 👍
Right? Man, it sucks that gays, immigrants, and all those people that are a different color and have lifestyles different than us have demanded to be treated like equals. It just ruined the country for us real men. USA!! USA!! 🙄
Amen Brother. Anything they touch goes to shit! They all need a very unpleasant, lifetime memorable dose of humility and accountability. They're all Delusionally Grandiose, and need their bubbles Bursted. Lastly, they're all their own biggest fans. They will all meet their match one day. If that day never come in their lifetime, they'll all have to answer to their maker.
Yes I know about the Widowmaker then somebody built the motorcycle that could go over it and of course it was dispute this is when we had Haystack too you can have big huge concerts we had bands it was like a mini Woodstock but riding my motorcycle we had a mock Widowmaker and Milton-Freewater Oregon they were all over the place let the motorcycles have gotten to outrageous technology ruined the fun it's a light show and a 300 mile jump but as memories go who cares they're here today gone tomorrow memories are the biggest joke of the century memories do you nothing so there and they're gone wanting more another memory got to get my rig Drive 400,000 miles for to get another memory 1980 just an old flip flop rock and roll heading to Disco memory when you go to concerts for $5 and afford the gas to get there and people weren't so jacked up demonized with tattoos and witchcraft which craft ruined the United States and the Freemasons thinking they're the good guys and then Mormons holy s*** I know why they got that by the Salt Lake yeah a conductor I no the little green man who stands behind the pipe organ
I was there 82. Everyone drunk and rowdy. Watched an idiot go halfway up in a Blazer, got sideways and rolled it all the way down. He walked away
I grew up in Draper and learned to ride my motorcycle on that mountain. I've seen lots of people trying to climb in their jeeps and trucks.
"Get on it right now, JAM IT!"
Twice every run.
Lol, I noticed that too
Yeh, and it seemed like the same 2cyl engine sound was used - for even the 4cyl bikes.
Lol, I just thought there was a chick there that is really into hill climbing and wanted everyone to JAM IT man JAM IT!!
Yeah, I think they just looped the sound from a run.
That makes more sense. I thought he was saying "tickle my balls right now! DAMN IT!"
Ya that was getting old
At 52 I’ve spent my whole life in the Salt Lake valley.
My how times have changed.
I started in '73. Now in Utah valley. Time flies as they say.
I’m 52 as well. Same story 😂
Am in early 60s and just moved away from Orem to PA. The pace there feels much slower like Utah used to be.
For my 16th Birthday I sat and watched from the top of the hill.
Soooo fun!
Glad I found this hidden gem. Man, what a ride! 🏍😁🏁
Glad you like it!
First rider is Kerry Peterson. I don't think anybody who knows hillclkmbs doesn't know about the Peterson family. They build some awesome bikes.
Peterson's gennie shovel,what a beast 👍👍
Wished it still was that way… Utah has been destroyed by growth. I remember this event. Was a blast.. we thought the drive from bountiful was far… lol.
I think I heard "get on it right now jam it"...37 times lol
That guy was there every year & stood right behind the camera crews in at least 2 different places on the hill.
🤣🤣🤣

Right on
Wow, riding those beasts up that hill like they were mx bikes lol. What strength and skill and the guy with the artificial leg! Legend!
They are hill climbing bikes and they are made to specifically climb hills.
Dylan Mulvaney could do it on his dildercycle, and you voted for it.
Used to drive by that area as we went to southern Utah. Now it is full of track houses and southern Utah is like Disneyland with bikes and 4wheelers. Not sure any of this has been an improvement.
Agree! At least there’s still bikes and four wheelers! Would have been 3-wheelers back then! Cheers!!!

"There is jubilation at the bottom!" 🤣
This is a great hill and I remember it well.

Respect to the 1 Legged Dude! No 'Special' or Handicapped B.S. back then! No 'Gay Olympics' Allowed in '80s Mighty 'Merica!🇺🇸🍺😁

I went to those hill climbs during this time! Wow what a party 🥳 🎉
I was there when this happened. I used to climb the 600 foot hill in the 70's on a Husky 400...
OMG all those poor larvae and plant motes, destroyed by gasoline!!!!!!! Bring back the Ice Age!!!! This would be a lot of fun on snow machines!!
Thankful this exists! ✌️
My brother and I used to watch these runs from our rooftop as kids when living in Sandy (White City) Utah.
That lanyard 🙀
Wished Vince got it! So awesome!! Thanks for sharing this! Cheers!!
Cheers!
I was lucky enough to go to the ‘83 event.
I was five in 1980. Nowadays I’m a hill climb fan!
I used to ride up and down that hill on my mini bike when nobody was looking 👀😂
We used to get a high gear run at the hill and not make it. And that was the original hill that was shorter. 🤣🤣🤣
We had to ride to hill climbing around Tracy Calif mid 70s on mostly stock bikes. Ride them there and go for it. At the time the XL 350 Honda single was great for that,stay in second gear as long a you could.
Great video!
When men could be men without question💪
Hell Ya.... Live About 25 Miles North Definitely Different In Moderniy.....
Man, God bless to these lunatics. How many still remain? Prayers out to all!!!
Beats watching their fixed sports!!!
I love Hill Climbing. Wish I had tried this hill.
Kudos to the guy riding the slabside shovel. All balls
The " jam it" guy was there saying it every run for multiple years? 🤣🤣 JAM IT!!
Somebody at KUED TV must of thought it was a good idea.
And now fast forward to the present time Red Bull pays its riders millions of dollars to do these kind of hills and other sponsors, these men didn't have nothing equipment wise or safety wise but yet they did the sport and made it what it is now
Way back in the 60s & 70s the best hillclimbers came from some of the flattest places; Iowa, Kansas, etc.
Most of these people's livers gave out a decade ago.

Excellent comment, thank you.
Very cool!!
I wonder where the riders are today?
Thanks for sharing it!
Really 😃 Great!
Thanks! 😃
Awesome vintage video!!!
This looks Soo exciting think woman would love too ride that hill 😜
Why do I keep hearing “ you are behind right now you have to jam it!”
Whoever edited the original tapes.
Fuck yeah
Super ze to wrzuciłeś jeździli zajebiście technologia w górę przez 40 lat teraz można podziwiać super skoki i jazdę . pozdrawiam z Polski 🇵🇱💪💪✌️
I thought this was the Carnegie hill climbs
I've always wondered, if there are aliens from other planets, what do they think when they see us , climbing a hill on a motorcycle.
Hope they got a sense of humor. 😎
I look at the rear tire on some of these bikes, and I can't help from thinking about falling off and having it run over your backside. Ouch!
Some people lose legs like that. Had a friend flip his quad and the rear wheel bout sliced his leg off.
@@fjb666 That's horrible. Yeah, when you're about to wipe out on a quad sometimes it's a reaction to put your feet down, but you never want to put your legs down while on a 4 wheeler.

Plus when you are on a hill that steep it's a long fall.
Come on right now, jam it.
Awesome! Back in the Day before America went all Homosexual!😁
Fuckin cracked me up!
Right? Man, it sucks that gays, immigrants, and all those people that are a different color and have lifestyles different than us have demanded to be treated like equals. It just ruined the country for us real men. USA!! USA!! 🙄
That's the shit real that was funny
Won’t find any gay at this event!
Right??! Now! Jam it!! Lol! Cheers
Well he jammed it..... smh
Makes my crotch hurt
Jamit!
Is that Les Claypool?
Born and Raised Utah.
I remember these yearly events very well.
I’m was stopped after things for out of control one year.
😂😂😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As I remember there was a gun involved in that "out of control" year.
El perdido.
California was cool, then the Commies came, same old story.
Yeah, all the commies -Reagan, trump,

Just watched a hill climb from 2023. The racers today would have gotten their asses kicked by these guys if they raced with today's tech.
Yo chill lady he rode a bike up a hill. 🙄 same two guys climb the hill all day. Lame.
Malcolm Smith could of Rode UP this Hill and Turned around and Rode back down it....On his Stock 400 Husky..
Yes, in the movie "On any Sunday" 1971.
Clogged with houses now. Point of the mountain. Where it switches from blue to red
Great photography!! Malcolm Smith would have showed them how to ride back down the hill 😎
Yes. Malcom in the movie "on any sunday" 1971.
That was the original hill. Great movie!
The crowd noise is totally fake.
