That is some insane stuff rite there, no way I would try unless I had a hill climbing bike to do it with.

i would definitely try it.  i rolled my quad down some big hills with minimal damage.  however, it would probably be a total loss on that hill.

The biggest problem would be the risk of the damage caused by not making it. You must be able to accept the possible result to attack it full bore. Thats a big one.

That's one of the nice things about hill climbing a bike, it doesn't usually start rolling down like a snowball picking up speed. IDK if I'd try it or not. I'd have to see it in person. If it looks that nasty on video from that far away, then it must be a lot worse in person LOL. Erosion and utv/buggy ruts looked like they have def made a tough hill even tougher.

it is unreal from looking at it from the bottom. i grew up hillclimbing in old mine dumps and cutouts in mountains but none of them were as long as this hill is. when i was there ( around `07-08) it wasnt nearly as rutted out as it looks in this video but there hadnt been any utvs or rails up it at that point.we watched a few bikes and a banshee go all the way when i was there. i think all the bikes that made it then were cr,kx500s. dont remember any 4pokes making the top on the 2 days we sat and watched. i wish my cousin still lived there

Here is one of our local hillclimbs. All dedicated hill bikes. You are not taking a quad up it and stopping mid way.
