Hill climbs and crashes bikes and quads

[@sonoma314]

Your videos do a great service to the dirt riding community in this area. I didn't know there was hill climbing at Perry. I pass it on the way to Wayne National. Not anymore. Thanks Luke

[@gerbecjm]

Awesome. Nice vid. Takes a lot of guts to hit those.

[@mx4life82388]

Some really nice hills here man. Technical aspects all over like that hump 3/4 of the way up and the lip on the Johnson wall. You guys have balls doing this on quads. I'd go up them on my 650R or L all day but that doesn't tumble down. Glad no one tried the last one on a quad in this video haha.

[@LukeCremean]

Thanks for recognizing the details and technicality of these climbs. Most don't get all that from videos but do when they see them in person!

[@RastaRider]

Sick hillclimbs! I ride here in Florida at Croom Motorcycle Park in the Withlacoochee State Forest in the city of Brooksville. They used to mine for graphite there and there are some pretty rad, steep gullies and we all climb and jump out of. Some of those hills y'all are on are intense!!! Sweet vid.

[@LukeCremean]

Nice, yea perry is an old strip mine on most of the land. It makes perfect natural jumps and climbs for us. Most valleys we clear take very little time before we are ripping up the hills.

[@liddyyamaha36]

Croom is a great time! Ive been there a handful of times as a kid and once as an adult. A blast every time we went down there

[@Smackdown20110]

I see that you have a few thumbs down reviews. In don't know what those people were watching but this is one of the best hill climb videos I have seen on KZbin. That last hill was sick!

[@LukeCremean]

Thanks man, I think the thumbs down may have come from the people who hate the clicking sound on my camera.

[@aldoavak9]

Cameras don't do those hills any justice . Those are some incredibly steep hills! You guys have huge brass balls.

[@LukeCremean]

You are right, these hills are very steep and most of them are hard to get traction because of the sandstone and/or roots

[@TheBlodg15]

Nice. Many of your and the other "pro" hill climber video's don't show how steep these hills really are but in this video it does give a good perspective.

[@eliaskberg9881]

those were some insane hills. not sure If I would have attempted a couple of those especially on quads. great vid..will pass it on

[@Moley_Mole]

Great video! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@Keepingcalm14]

Sweet video! this is the type of riding i enjoy also. Smightification

[@theblackdevil82]

Extremely good vid and props

[@LukeCremean]

Thank you very much! I always said perry is kind of a secret place to ride. Not too many people see and/or ride it like we do!

[@AS-oo4gv]

Any tips on hill climbing with a quad? I got my first quad(Yamaha Blaster) and this is the only type of thing i'm scared of

[@LukeCremean]

Just like with everything else, practice! First you should learn and practice saving the quad on a small hill and work your way up. Always jump off on the right side of the quad and grab the front brake while pushing down on the front tire or your front bumper. If the hill is steep enough, you can pump the front brake to control your sliding back down the hill. When you get good enough you can also choose to slide the front end around towards you while holding the front brake. Hill climbing takes time to learn the right speed, wheel spin, and throttle response. I always look at the hill and try to figure out what could go wrong, this gives me a way to prepare to save the quad when things go wrong. Hope some of this helps, I could go on all day about climbing and/or saving a quad lol

[@loganchurch8585]

The first reply was the best, practice braking and going back down the hill and when your good at that keep trying bigger and bigger hills until you can hit ones like these

[@gtocarguy]

you guys are really good. even when you crash no one gets hurt and the machines don't go barrel rolling down the hill, trampling people along the way

[@liddyyamaha36]

No thanks on taking on a steep ass hill like that with a quad.. Talk about cashin out once you roll a quad down a hill LOL. Great vid!

[@Chrone247]

In your opinion what's the best tires / size for a 400ex? You climb in 2nd or 3rd mostly?

[@bisket2003]

HAHahahha. I'd like to tag along with you guys when you come down to visit the vill next. Won't hit all the same hills but perhaps I'll learn a thing or two and also get to see these climbs up close and personal.

[@Maxvett]

what kind of hand guards are those

[@NERFable11]

I really enjoyed your video keep up the good work man.

[@endurojoe5658]

mikes gunna owe bobby lots of money...

[@RiverH99]

what were the quads used in this video?

[@jacobschweiber3394]

What kind of quad do you have?

[@TheCamarodude96]

wow those quads were taking a beating. cool video

[@330catfish]

nice opening weekend, good to see youre back out.

[@DJ0hns0n2193]

Sickk! I predict johnson wall in the future for the quads... maby without the lip but i think you guys could do it

[@linushforsberg8385]

What quad did bobby have? i noticed that it was air cooled so it cant have that much power, better get a 450

[@shawshank1288]

It's amazing these guys can even sit on the bikes with how big their balls are great vid man

[@XGoproX83]

It's so sad watching them role down the hill. Lol but awesome video and nice hills

[@easydoesitmikey]

Pretty cool. I don't think I'd try that one

[@Pirotechnik01]

Could you tell me what exhaust has the red honda trx 400 drom 3:35 ?

[@Douhaniuk12]

it takes balls to get back up after a roll like that and try it again. nice riding

[@traxxasaaron]

amazing climbs yall have balls

[@austinangus8062]

Some of these hills...Wow.

[@jimdandy9349]

good vid was bobbys bike repairable. id like to see some sxs on that hill

[@roberthoven7086]

Insane hills guys, reminds me of Virginia, bad ass riding!!!

[@LukeCremean]

It depends on the terrain and what you are doing. If you are hill climbing in good dirt a 20x11x9 gbc xrex is a good tire that lasts a long time and is priced well. If you are doing some serious climbing on rocks and tough terrain for traction a pro wedge tire is best for traction but is only 2 ply and lacks side bite. I prefer the maxxis balance tire, it's a all around good tire for traction and is 6 ply. I climb mostly in 1st but some in 2nd....

[@LukeCremean]

I did install it and it helped but ended up buying a new mount and that did the trick, Thanks for the info.

[@trevorbenson655]

What is the name of the rear tires on the trx 450

[@LukeCremean]

They are gbc xrex tires 20x11-9. I'm now running maxxis ballance and really like them.

[@trevorbenson655]

OK. Thanks dude!

[@LukeCremean]

Trevor Benson welcome

[@LukeCremean]

@jacob It's a Honda 450r

[@LukeCremean]

you should see some of these in person, thanks!

[@LukeCremean]

We have got pretty good at saving ourselves and also the quad in some cases. You can win every time though lol

[@CB-ug6xh]

Hey Luke, I'm new to driving atvs. Just curious can you estimate the degree of the hills you guys are climbing? It looks close to a 75 degree incline. You guys would probably laugh at the stuff I puss out on so I'm just trying to get an idea of how steep these are so I can make a good judgement of what my machine can handle. I would never attempt any of these but I'm just wondering how steep is TOO steep. I have a 2015 can am outlander 800cc.

[@LukeCremean]

Hello, most are pretty steep at 60-75 degrees but some are literally walls and close to completely vertical at the tops. Few are even inverted and hard to believe they are climbed until you see it in person. I would be very cautious with that atv when climbing. You are not able to just bail and let the gears do some of the work to help hold the quad on the hill. I would practice locking your breaks and/or using the throttle to hold the quad on a small bank or hill. That way when things go wrong you will know what you need to do to save your quad.

[@CB-ug6xh]

Thanks for the advice Luke. I'm probably over cautious because I ride alone all the time. If I had to guess, the hill I'm hesitant to go up is probably a 45-50 degree incline. Practicing locking the brakes is a good idea. I'll give that a shot.

[@LukeCremean]

nice, yea playin in the mud is fun too. We usually avoid the mud unless we get rained on then it's all mud and very little climbing lol

[@BillBlast7372]

5:06 It would have been nice to see that jump from someone standing at the top of the jump with a camera

[@LukeCremean]

We are planning a trip there in two weeks on the 20th!!

[@RaptorVlogz]

did anyone else get a little annoyed with the squeaky helmet. Awesome vid though

[@LukeCremean]

yea sorry about that, my mount was wore out. I got a new one and also use the rubber insert.

[@RaptorVlogz]

oh sweet dude. Really great job on the video!

[@LukeCremean]

bulldozer2017 thanks man!

[@RaptorVlogz]

your welcome.

[@RaptorVlogz]

700th sub lol

[@LukeCremean]

At 3:18 I'm 2nd gear almost pinned. Most hills I climb in 1st unless I need to skip a rock or jump a wall at the top. My 450r is an 05 and I have it geared down one tooth on the front sprocket.

[@evanseiber5527]

Where are u riding at +Luke Cremean

[@LukeCremean]

Perry state forest in this video. My next ride will probably be in Wellsville.

[@LukeCremean]

It's a lexx e series I believe....

[@patrickbatten3182]

... how do u get down lol i could go up just not down lol

[@austincordrey]

Awesome bid man u did a good job

[@DJ0hns0n2193]

Yes think of it like the sprockets on a normal mt bike. When the chain is all the way up on the top gear (biggest with most teeth) you are going the fastest with least pedals.

[@trevers4ever]

Install the white rubber thing that came with your gopro. That should stop the clicking.

[@LukeCremean]

I always seen to have a little bit of clicking or creeking noise. I've been able to make it better but the plastic case seems to cause it.

[@ryanstar463]

At first i was like thats not steep at all then in the middle of the video the camera guy steps to the side of that hill and now i realize that you guys got balls

[@LukeCremean]

Thanks, Good to be back out!

[@LukeCremean]

You can go always go down on an easier hill but most of the time we drop back down the ones we go up.

[@mason.wardd_]

Awesome video bro!

[@LukeCremean]

[@mason.wardd_]

+Luke Cremean thanks man

[@JohnDoe-eq5jb]

All I can Say Is On Travis's Try when he Hit that tree.. No one can hit that tree Becasue I ripped it out of the Ground.... :-) Ride on Riders....... The Hill Is now Safer :-)

[@NERFable11]

that's not hard at all #sarcasim

[@nickbehr9367]

I like your 400

[@tywoods2174]

Quads are harder to catch 😂😂

[@xxzerberuzxx6606]

nice video men like and fav

[@Arthurdankarelli]

Nice climbs!!! It's not easy capturing the steepness and ballzyness of these climbs on camera. You'd enjoy the coal hills we have here in Pa. Check out my page if you wanna see what we're working with. Props on the vid though. Loved it!!

[@calebboothe7366]

yall can keep Johnson hill

[@LukeCremean]

lol yea that's a nasty one

[@LordByron444]

All that helmet Poppin is annoying.

[@LukeCremean]

+Byron Cutshaw I know, sorry about that. My mount was wore out and needed replaced at the time.

[@chudin4767]

Must have been amateur day. Lol

[@epicman3150]

damn!

[@chudin4767]

You never back a quad down a hill. Jump off and spin front around. Def amateur day

[@LukeCremean]

Chud In that’s one of our bike riders that tried to ride my quad for the first time. He definitely a amateur on a quad but a great bike rider.

[@bisket2003]

You are the creMAN

[@jimdandy9349]

good vid was bobbys bike repairable. id like to see some sxs on that hill
