Putain, c'est fou ! 6:05😮
Wow and congrats to the men who were able to get to the top rock ledge, WOW!
I rode hill climb bikes in my past… like 25 years ago, and I can tell you that I would still out climb all of these guys, because NONE of them ride the bike the right way for maximum climb. Ill explain. The very first guy, in the blue for example… at the 0:01 second mark he should be standing straight up on the foot pegs with the gas tank/handlebars pulled right into his chest……. and the engine pinned wide open. That way ALL of the riders weight in on the real wheel providing maximum traction… and the upright position is most effective for controlling the bikes movement. These guys have forgotten how its done!!
This looks like it’s straight out of a video game! I’m partnered with TheAdrenalineDealer and Whiskey Throttled and we’d like to share some clips of yours on our platforms with credit to you!
Cool!
Wow!
A lesson in eroding the soil.
