I have watched many of these hill climb videos as they are so addicting and I have come to the conclusion that the faster one starts from the beginning the better chance they have at actually climbing the hill. 😎🖤

Благодарен за это видео. Мужественные ребята. Люди от Бога. Мастера взятия высот заоблачных. Пример мужества для всех людей на Земле. Здесь нет фальши и нет хитрости языком. Здесь нет слова - " не могу" или слов - " не хочу". Здесь мужчины. Это не оыисные крысы которые называют себя менеджерами или еще какими - то англиской дурью филосоыии. Это люди создают задел мужику на будущее. Кто желает быть мужчиной, а не трааой или медузой, или " маменькиным сынком" - тот этот аид спорта полюбит. Как любовь мужчины к женщине, так и в спорте - честь, совесть, преданность делу. Спорт этот достоин восхищения и подражания. Этот вид спорта сродни каратэ и кунг-фу, фехтованию и боксу... Любите девочки отважных мужиков - они не подведут.

An equally fine line between staying on and having your face ripped off by a flailing rear spiked wheel and diving off for your own safety.

[@philshyu5248]

Interesting design challenge. It seems to me that nobody can change gears while getting tossed around like a rag doll, so maybe try some kind of a CVT. That last berm before the summit is a killer, basically a straight vertical. Not sure how you get past that even if you were driving both wheels and got your weight ahead of the front wheel... 🤔

@5.25 That engine is just nuts! Aside from the drill touches, it's a water cooled engine with no water cooling lol. Also, welded casing joints because that engine is scrap soon lol. Fantastic!

[@miroslav1o1]

It's liquid cooled.

[@apodski]

They don't really need a radiator, water takes a lot of energy to warm up, but the tradeoff is sloppy clearance and damage when cold. So I'm guessing they warm them a bit before starting, but it's going to take at least a few minutes to get the water up to boiling even with these monster engines.

An electric drivetrain could be very beneficial for them. You only need a very small battery and you can place it anywhere to improve the center of gravity. The percition of electric engines could be used for better traction control settings. Maybe coupled with a gyroscope to prevent backflips.

Back in the 70s as a teen we would watch a known hill climb on a lake. Nothing like this climb but rapidly got steep with the last 5 feet being almost vertical. Red moist clay with deep worn previous unsuccessful grooves. Good ol boys drinking beer would get their heavy ass Harleys and after enough beer and dares would end up destroying them. Perched on top were usually a couple girls flashing boobs to encourage them. Then one day some guy on a Yamaha showed up "brave" and despite the boos and taunts proceeded to blast right up and over the lip. Turned around and dropped back in!! Waiting for him to be pulled apart instead the bikers started pouring beers on him and the guy was a celebrity for 5 minutes.

[@bshinn4884]

Rarely do I ever see someone make it to the top anymore. That's some scary stuff. I sure wouldn't do it lol. Be too afraid of popping up, then rolling down the hill with my bike close behind, slamming down on me as soon as I came to a stop. It sucks that video footage and pictures rarely do courses like this or offroad trails in general justice, concerning how steep they actually are in person vs. what it looks like on a screen. Was on a trail in my FJ last month and a few people captured pictures on a steep incline with large boulders and massive dips, but the pictures looked like I was nearly level and the obstacles were small lol. The only tell was that in one pic, my front right tire was off the ground.

I used to have this toy truck back in the 80s. It was called "the animal." Had claws that would pop out of the tires when the wheels started to slip. Mention it because. Once someone takes a look back and harnesses that technology this hill won't even be a contest anymore. Untill hem good luck with the screws and paddles.

Вы правы. На эту гору невозможно технически подняться. Я рожден в СССР и видел М.С.Международного класса на 175 куб. показывающих высший класс езды. Здесь надо иметь " крылья " чтобы подняться !. Для возможности быть наверху - надо иметь технику вождения годами наработанную и более новую модель мотоцикла. Здесь вес должен быть далеко впереди . Как я помню по соревнованиям под Керчью -мотогонки - все ребята " висели " впереди мотоцикла и стояли на ногах, как ранее мы поднимались на спортивных велосипедах на крутой подьем, где все тело было впереди руля.

Здравствуйте уважаемый. Я родом из Города-Героя Керчь. Рожден в Советском Союзе. Много проводилось Международных соревнований по мотокроссу. Здесь не мотокросс. Здесь посерьезнее дела. Во время соревнований на 175 куб были травмы серьезные у 10% участников. Скорая Помощь была не одна. Их дежурило две, как и Милиция. Были и смертельные исходы. Много раз все видели как в воздухе создаеться переворот мотоцикла и он ложиться на Землю-Матушку сверху на водителя. Были люди, женщины, которые это видели - теряли сознание и однажды женщина, она мать гонщика была - от шока умерла. Так- что жтот вид спорта опасен.
