[grizz 1195]

I dont race track I just trail ride an climb hills just wanted to see hills other people have climbed that were bad or hard to climb.

Have you tried the big hill at bear creek? I made it about 1/4 of the way, I can't see how anybody could make it on a stock bike. I hear about 4 riders have made it to the top in last 20 years.

Used too have this hill out at Hollister Hills called "The Mile CLimb" Very steep w/big whooops and went forever :aj: I made it a few times on a 89yz250.. Now the hill is closed for some reason :think:

Just about anyone who has ever taking a pic of a hill will tell you the same thing. The size and grade of the hill almost never comes through. One of the best pics I have is a 35mm pic of a coal hill. The hill is framed well in the print, but I still have to point out to everyone who looks at it that there is a guy on a dirt bike about 3/4 of the way up the hill. They then look closer and go say, Oh My God, thats a big hill!
Some other big hills I have ridden are the peak in McAdoo, The Turttle in Paragon is long, rocky, and snakes over 2000 ft in vertical.
Here are some digital pics that turned out ok of a particulary nasty little rock hill in Paragon. copy and paste urls

The trees in the picture give some referance to vertical and to the size of the rocks. I had trouble going DOWN that one, some day maybe Ill try going up it, it was raining this day and all that orange clay and the rocks were snotty wet :) .

Did someone say hills? :confused:

Hill Climb Pics

Here is a link to a web page where I uploaded a few hill climb videos. I have quite a few good hill climb videos, unfortunately my ISP only gives me 10Mb of free web space. Like any other picture or video, they just don't do the steepness or length of the hill any justice :aj:

I tried a hill once...realized why I like riding OPB (Other People's Bikes)...

 (I've never even seen the huge, Kiwi style hills...not sure I want to)

 

[High Lord Gomer]

I did do better than Uwe...

 

[Camstyn]

I was looking for that pic a while ago, lol.. Never seen a man roost himself in the face before! :laugh:

Hey YZThumper-- is that slate wall video taken at Tower City?   We rode as guests there last year, and saw that wall.  Looked more appropriate for a trials bike! :)

 

[jboomer]

Poor Uwe! That looks expensive!

gospeedracer - Where were those pictures taken? Those are some ultra gnarly hills! (dscn0168) :worship:

Click :my pictures: below for a few of mine

 

[gospeedracer]

All but one of those pictures are at Jawbone canyon in the mohave desert.

 

[KiwiBird]

Dead - those are my pics, 168 and many others there are from Jawbone Canyon in So Cal.

We have a ride there over the week of Thanksgiving that we call Spanksgiving - you are welcome to attend if you would like to experience the pucker factor acheived by one coming down the hill after an unsuccessful attempt.

i have a a few good ones, i cant post them tho, can i email them to someone so they can post them here?

 

[High Lord Gomer]

Send them to [email protected] and I'll get them where you can post a link to them.

 

[YZThumper]

Lori,

Yup, that's the big slate wall at Tower City. It's 100 times more intimidating in person, especially considering it's a pure piece of slick slate. Not making that hill is not an option, LOL !!!

 

[bbbom]

I don't have a pic of the firecracker's infamous LPO Rock Shelf launch scanned - YET!!! :p

But here's a typical Northern Idaho hill that I'm coming down:

 

[bbbom]

Here's a shot of a good friend and her ghost riding on a particularly snarly s curve hill (the bike and her had both been going UP the hill just prior to Karl snapping the shot):

 

[gospeedracer]

:scream: holy............toledo...........no way, nuh uh....

*in regards to bbbom's first pic

 

[Y2Z]

gomer i sent them to you, check your email, thanks again

 

[ktmboy]

If anyone wants to witness some of the best hillclimbers in SoCal in action then the Spanksgiving ride is the ticket. Kiwi and his friends are willing to go wear mountain goats fear to tread! There are several 'easier' hills around for the squeemish guys like me too! :confused:

 

[Y2Z]

hey guys, got those pics thanks to gomer! i think this hill really is the "mile climb"!

 

[Y2Z]

and another, this one has a guy trying it, dont know if he made it or not though... looks like it.

thanks gomer!

 

[High Lord Gomer]

Don't worry...you'll never get a picture of *me* doing that! Those things are huge *and* steep!
