god forbid you have to make a turn, run over a bush, go around a tree, run over a log or root or something.

straight up straight down with a 100 yard run up.... yeaaaa baby thats where the real men play

i have other hills, that are just as steep as that, are 4 feet wide, covered in leafs, sticks, and sometimes logs, with a huge dirtbike rut down the center, and mud if its been raining... with multipal corners.

they are hard to video tape since you only see a part of the hill because of the corners... yes real hill climbs HAVE CORNERS WHILE STILL GOING PRACTICALLY STRAIGHT UP

Bottom line: The top ATV riders in the world don't come to where I ride becuase they are easy hills. Let me know when Wimmer or Dunkelberger shows up on your "hills"

It starts about 20 into it for Shamokin PA. I ride when the pros ride, You should e-mail team Yamaha and tell them about your killer hills.

ok whitney.

those hills are ----- ----. little kids climb them on sport quads, the vids are all over youtube. they are not difficult. going straight up is easy.

i've climbed dunes just as steep or steeper on a trike with no paddels

people make movies there because big long straight climbs up tall hills impress idiots like you.

my hills have to be ridden, you're riding up untamed forest, there was no trail there until i made it straight the brush climbing it the first couple times, over bushes, over ferns, over logs, around tress, in the mud, in 6inches of top soil... its more difficult than you think. and i know you could do it just as i can... but saying its weak and you straight up and down no skill climbs are is stupid

you have to have the machine to start out with. but it also takes some skillzzzzzz

like modulating throttle to keep from going over backwards and to still keep your momentum (especially in mud or soft dirt)
keeping speed around corners
negotiating obsticals like logs, trees, sticks

both types of hills are fun, i've ridden both. and i can tell you riding trails in the forest is more difficult.

There's 500 square miles of riding up there, not everyone is climbing the same hill.


You say they don't take skill but you wouldn't have the ***** to try and climb one. Just keep riding in your backyard and making internet videos where everyone makes fun of you. Re-read the first page. The internet is never wrong

i never said it was scary...
and yes you are right, its not a WOAAHHHHHH hill...
thats why they make heuvos movies in coal pits and at the dunes... because they are WOAAHHH thats a tall hill... doesn't mean its difficult to climb.
