2022 Freemansburg Premier Class | AMA American Hillclimb Rd. 5 RAW Footage

[@fprintf]

Having ridden to the top of this hillclimb via the network of trails that the club maintains (on a trials bike) I can say the video does absolutely no justice for how steep and ridiculously tall this hill is. These guys have serious cojones for launching themselves up this hill!! Thanks for sharing the video.

[@billallen4793]

This is a good little hill. Now watch the video's 📹 about the world championship hillclimb in Jackson Hole Wyoming a view! Again I'm definitely not denying this is a good track..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇲🤠

[@elonmust7470]

this hill is weak.. Go to France for the real hill climbes.

[@alkennedy1124]

And I love the mechanical abilities of these mechanics that built these engines and these machines I love the sound , thanks BigAl California

[@RiverRat1953]

I rode my Harley to freemansburg back in the late 70’s and there was a 80 year old judge who rode a old Indian and he was slow as hell, but he made it to the top! The crowd went crazy!!!

[@Roscoe.P.Coldchain]

The bikes are crazy, so much power 👍

[@mikewilliams2072]

I love it when you got these guys that have 3 I r 4 crew members helping him at the start and takes for every to every leave and then wipes out about halfway up, and then you have a guy comes up by himself barely even stops at the start and takes off and rides all the way over the top like it was a Sunday afternoon cruise!!!!!!

[@husabob1]

I went to Freemansburg several times in the 70's, and one time I wangled a Press Pass, and stood on the hill, photographing the bikes as they flew by overhead! Lou Gerencer on his Harley, Earl Bowlby on his BSA, Williams on his Honda. Yep, the Good Old Days.

[@stravis3269]

How did your experience go with riding ther

[@rodneycaupp5962]

When you went to hillclimbs in the 1950s, This video is quite entertaining. Nice track too. NOW, git up the hill..................

Very sweet ride's!

I would love to see this in person. I love motorcycles and I would love to see step by step how their built and everything else that goes with it.

Oregonia Ohio, Devils Stair Case is what I grew up watching from the hill.

[@josephkostinko739]

Looks way steeper in person.

[@slackersteve2004]

bike at 2:30 made me feel weird, it sounded like a 2 stroke while idling but once it got climbing it sounded like a 4 stroke

[@joebarber1164]

550 feet to the top. It is damn scary, from the top, looking down.

I grew up in Easton and went to this a few times in the mid to late seventies as a kid.

I grew up in Bethlehem. I was there in the 80s.

[@MalcolmDesigns]

@@josephkostinko739 Coool!

[@mr.k6136]

Can someone explain to me why they keep blowing the riders faces before they take off is it because of the nitro fuel or what?

[@COYOTE_N8]

Is that bike turbo'd at 11:10, sounds like u can hear turbo whistle and looks like there's charge pipe on the left kinda where radiators.are usually. That's sick. Also great vid but you should show the times a little more

[@rfiskillingussoftly6568]

Great video man!

[@johntomasik1555]

I grew up in the neighboring town of Bethlehem. When I was a teenager, my buddies and I would try to tube down that hillclimb after a snow. Even starting at only the second tier, we never made it.

What are those mini leaf blower looking things that they point at the riders before they start their run?

[@Twiggy35]

Can someone please explain the leaf blower use pre run?

[@matthewmoilanen787]

It blows the nitro fumes away so the riders can get a few good breaths before the run.

[@gregorylloyd13]

What kind of motors are they running on the this hill climb and are they turbocharged or supercharged or just normally aspirated

[@fungdark8270]

I believe they use sport bike motors, probably 750cc+ Probably NA

[@fungdark8270]

At least some of these are running nitromethane fuel

[@stevendegreef93]

There was one turbo with launch control, he didn't get far...

[@gertnood]

@@fungdark8270 You can tell when the idle is loud and hyperactive, and the rider gets fresh air blown at their head.

[@chrisvinicombe9947]

​@@gertnood ahhh so that's whats going on with the leaf blowers. I did wonder. Usually watch European hill climbes and haven't seen anyone doing that.

[@dirkellis9212]

So what's the leaf blower on the rider for?

[@joebarber1164]

Blowing the nitro fuel exhaust fumes away from the rider's face

[@craigsnider5199]

​@joebarber1164 that was my 1st thought ?

[@milkywayan2232]

I went to the hill climb either 79, 80 or 81. One of those three. Very few guys made it up the hill to the top. Also in 79 or 80 I was invited to go to the hill to go sledding/tubing. I was working for a house Framer. He said let's go. But I didn't. I went shoveling snow because I had to make money. Anyway Joe, the owner of the Framing company, and all-around good guy went tubing. He was injured. I forget what it was. May be a broken shoulder? Ribs? I'm not going to use his last name here. He was from Lehigh county originally and lived in Allentown when I worked for him. I'll give you a hint, disco Joey. Anyway, as I sit here having evolved to a reasonable cautious self I wonder, is it riskier ascending the hill on a motorized vehicle where you have some ability to steer and provide the level of propulsion you desire,,, 0R,,, is it a greater risk descending the hill, with gravity and the slickness of the precipitation on the Earth dictating your speed and your steering Is left up to,,,, oh yeah,,, steering is helpful. Anyway Joe. Thanks for everything David Who referred Rocky to you.

[@jst4curiosity704]

These guys may have cojones, but when over 15 riders ascend it successfully, it tells us that it isn't as hard as you think..

[@lapjohn7172]

In the 80's it would be a handful at most that would make it. I believe it is the advancement of the bikes that is making it possible for more to get to the top. I have been to the top on a few occasions on dirt bikes.(going up the down trail)There's nothing easy about that hill.

[@srharris88]

What are the leaf blowers for?

[@68626862ful]

to keep top fuel fumes from burning eyes and throat

[@gertnood]

Boy, at 22:08 that engine speaks, it actually says "vroom vroom vroom" and rolls the r's.

[@MycoolNZ]

Love the flag

[@evgenytselobanov1571]

Реально на резиновых шипах вероятность добраться до финиша больше. Да метал хватает сильнее, но из-за этого получается рывак и падение.

[@blakeepperson3902]

Why do they all have leaf blowers?

[@hiredgoon4269]

Nitro fumes, which is basically nitric acid.

[@stevenfoust3782]

You only realize how steep the hill is when someone falls over and rolls away. The power of some of these machines is beyond comprehension!

[@jrwoodson3927]

What's that leaf blower for

Keep the rider cool? Perhaps to keep the fumes away on the start line

[@remi009340]

[@fungdark8270]

Why is that guy pointing the leaf blower at the riders face?

[@elonmust7470]

Trying to make up for non existent skills...

[@mattesr77]

Because the nitro methane fuels burn the riders eyes.

[@mattesr77]

Fumes are a serious problem in there situation.

[@mr.k6136]

Some of these bikes making so much horsepower don't make it up the hill and then you see a two-stroke just rip right up... Also I think it'd be cool to see an electric dirt bike do this they do make gobs of torque

Unlike the two-stokes if you get off the pipe, a 4 stroke pinned to the rev limiter doesn't exactly tend to bog down does it

[@steveweatherly1976]

These videos amaze me... These dudes have very decked out bikes, lavish uniforms, helmets, etc... Clearly - they think this is a monumental undertaking and a momentous "achievement" and they appear to be well prepared... Then, half of these people don't even get a third of the way up the hill... It's like preparing / training for a marathon, getting the most expensive running attire (shoes, shorts, etc); and then completing the arduous run in 17 hours...

That wet rain 🌧 made it slower ,,, so the fast guys lost ti e in the mud ,lol thanks BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace grace grace amen 🙏

[@kensutherland414]

That’s so funny that they use air blowers for the riders. I’m an old top fuel fan and they ran eight cylinder with that in their face with respirators. Best fuel but it sure kills your eyes and nose.
