was that steve not getting up that hill?
theres another good one near the big dipper. i think that you go left on the home option before the first uphill of the big dipper, and there may or may not be a red arrow pointing to the right, and that goes to a good climb. not very long, but really steep and with about 10m run up. chop and ktmboy showed me, i failed at it

It was AWESOME! The bike feels so good. I was pooped real quickly today, but the bike performed really well

The weather ended up great (sorry

) we didn't get rained on at all, bit windy out on the farm loop tho. Bike felt so good going up that hill with the overhanging branch at the top. We did the trail of doom and there were a few bits I think I might have gotten snagged on/stalled on before but went over fine (albeit ungracefully!) and I think the bike feeling a bit more powerful played a big part in that.
It was cool, felt even better than when I first got it. Hope I broke it in ok. Can't wait to see how well it goes with a pipe and stuff on it!

stev and rich got with in a foot of the top i just didnt put that on the vid rich just wasnt going to give up on trying he came down backwards almost as fast as he went up and some how stayed on his bike

Ah the good ol days...

Can't remember the hill but its way out the back and it looks like it's about 4 - 5 times longer and a real bitch to get up. After several attempts I came to the conclusion that a 250 didn't have enough grunt so I got a 450. First time I tried the hill with the big banger, my arms got there about a minute before I did.

nah 250 4strokes are fine, watched a guy go up on a yz125 with minimum run up a few weeks back.
