Hillclimbing Rachau 1998 race day. English commentary

Race day at the Rachau hillclimb in Austria. The best hill climb in the world

[@nickslayer4368]

The commentary is absolute gold!

[@Jonathan.D]

This guy should be the commentator for every sports program! I can only imagine how much better watch sports on TV would be. Like if he was the commentator for a bass fishing event. "Mr. Red Neck has just landed a bass marginally larger than the last one. He must feel like the champion of champions.. or not. Oh look, Mr. Richard Shaver has also landed one. I bet his mother is so...proud. And now we return to the all-British tea-drinking contest. Yes yes, I know it sounds strange. It makes about as much sense as cricket. For all you Americans out there I'm talking about the game cricket and not Jiminy. This hour of sports was brought to you by Bad Teeth and Colgate."

​@@randyd9414 Lol it really is sad isn't it? They can't even watch a fucking video of people attempting to drive dirt bikes up a hill without somehow relating it to women, lgbt, or black people oppressing them. It occupies their minds' 24/7 like an obsession. Like, how bad at EVERYTHING do you have to be to have such little self esteem? It makes me laugh but then feel bad about laughing, because it's pitiful more than anything.

[@S9RiDeRs]

youtube apparently thought this video marinated long enough to recommend it to me.

[@drasp87]

Man, I love the commentary!! Where has this wit and class gone nowadays! Suddenly I'm forced to think the '90s were quite something.

I found this awesome all in one cheat for Hill Climb Racing :) twitter.com/48b0b8a71c6375b9d/status/754940820587806720

[@abstractlogic366]

Jup spot on this is the 90s where you could make a joke and be funny and HAVE FUN and don´t have to worry about insult anyone because of an obvious joke ;) When people actually where people and not robots. I miss the 90s

[@russcattell955i]

Yes, Martin Haven, always game for a laugh !

[@slipknotfan2217]

@@abstractlogic366 yup, if you try to make a joke now, you will have 30 furry trans lesbians knocking on your door to tell you that it insulted them

lets be honest we came for the crashes but stayed for the commentary

[@alternativeperception6949]

Watched these as a kid with my dad and he still talks about it now , we loved watching it

[@CrawnighT]

The commentator was funny and Brutal af.

[@prince-solomon]

the commentator is amazing... so many great insults and bits lololol

[@TheDoppelgangster]

I can't believe that in eleven years this still hasn't cracked a million views. Shakespeare would be proud, lad!

[@KingLiopleurodon]

Even better now than it was in 1998 and it was earth-quakingly good back then....

[@petrsson]

One of BEST commentators those days with brilliant british humor...😉👌 Btw...People in 90's had a lot of real fun...(best music festivals, open air parties,creative Red Bull's events)...👍😎

[@JohanLind]

You don't get commentary like this anywhere anymore! To my knowledge at least....

[@kollak01]

4:10 vital vital refreshments for the top of the hill there

[@MadMaxGamer]

See what happens if you don`t take sports so damn seriously ? They become interesting..

[@zero2blur]

Fun to watch! Thx for the upload

[@Ktm125cooper]

They need to bring this back!

[@benpowersification]

Where did they find this commentator?! He's ace. "He may be Dutch, but he's not entirely dim" wtf?! lolz.

[@xxthotslayerxx]

God bless the comentator

[@wille1811]

23 years ago, and still a great watch

[@quadproper]

watched it back then on TV, great memories

[@dschoene57]

1:52 Baghira is not the name of the rider, but the bike. It's an MZ Baghira from East Germany, ridden by a German bloke.

[@doug102010]

Why is every English commentator so god damned witty and clever?

[@numendomini]

What is he talking about at 12:40 ? It did get that far, or are my eyes bad?

[@basilpunton5702]

Your eyes are better than the commentators. Good humour but bad judge of distance.

[@z33tanner]

Just finding these now, what an event

[@MrNickelbrille]

That was my favorite kinda sport. Since they don't show Hillclimb Rachau I gave up TV

[@kevinlong4084]

Now that was entertaining.I can't believe how many bikes that hill chewed up.

[@humdinger5701]

This commentator was great.. "it's a Husaberg, That's Swedish metal, Sorry Swedish Scrap metal...." lol

[@Gracana]

yeah that surprised me too, I didn't realize red bull was around then, much less sponsoring things

[@KraptainKrunCh]

Commentary - Maximum snark level achieved.

[@cptk3rk]

this event is fuckin awesome!

[@MrMycoman]

that's crazy they used a skyline to bring the bikes back down the hill!

[@Neo2906]

One year, a friend and i went to Hilclimb....what can i say.....it was the craziest thing ever seen. Not the climb itself, but the camping on the farmers field. I think, there where the craziest people from Europe🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@qwasd0r]

If there's one thing we austrians are good at it's propelling us either up or down a hill.

[@marcinp8874]

Martin Haven is a commentator

[@danielalmeida3375]

so, no one get up to the finish line??

[@max.racing]

I watched this hours on tv as an child :D

The Austrians seemed to always find a way to win ISDT ISDE’s as well. Hmm.

[@thelastjohnwayne]

The Commentary is priceless

[@TehBrizon]

The first time i bought a red bull was in 2000. I also had no idea... I remember getting it for the first time, the energy was insane. We spent like fifty bucks on it for our next desert race trip.

[@BuddytheRat]

It's definitely worth it. There is a constant influx of awesome player made content, and it's just one of those games that is easy to pick up and start playing for a bit between other stuff, or to just dive into and focus on for hours.

[@machobunny1]

I get the feeling that a lot of alcohol goes into the preparation for and participation in this event.

[@daylatephoto3554]

The first fundamental rule of hillclimbing is the kill switch. The second, no three wheelers.

If you ever want to find out wether something is reckless or not, look at who's participating. If it's just men, it's probably something reckless.

Looks like a good hill to chase a cheese down.

[@spiderwebb4983]

I wouldn't recommend it. I ran/ bounced down Coopers Hill as a !0 year old, just to see if I could and now I know the answer, the memory is still fresh in my mind 48 years later.
