03 ORANGE SHEE Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 heres a few pics of what a REAL hillclimb is,the pics don't do justice until you are there in person looking down at ants,but there not, there fourwheelers! talk about steep,try straight the f@#$ up! as you can see ,a warrior tried going up a hillclimb that takes alot more power than the motor makes,that hill is like 100 yards long at a 70 degree grade. a few of the bigger bore machines can do these,but dont try it on your recon! my foreman 450 with 26 inch gators cant climb 1/3 of these,it's like meat said,"it's alot harder than you think",i about $#!* myself trying to come back down some off these.none of the bikes i went with went up ANY of those big climbs,(400ex,z400,warrior) maybe 1/2 way and you have to turn sharp and whip it back down before you dig in and roll. even that mx 250R had troubles,they should have been on a BANSHEE!!! meat will be adding the pics,ENJOY!

Meat Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 I cant beleive you guys came all the way up here in the dead of winter to ride. Did it rain on yas ??? Come back in the springtime and i'll give yas the grand tour. Right where you guys parked is cool and thats where everyone parks, but its also easy access for the cops. You'll have to park at my house when I have my Banshee ready to ride, then I can show you how to navigate through the strippins. From my backyard to the top of Coal Hill is 8 miles. I put your pictures up on the Coal Hill page on the banshee zone, hope you dont mind. Here's a few "03 Orange" took this past Friday.... Here's a shot of my blue Banshee ontop of the hill near the big Banshee sprockets Here's a shot of the parking area looking down from the hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 What did you think about those 645,694,349,86 whoops in a row ? The guy on the KX hit em up pretty fast eh, theres alot of MX bikes out there in the summer, the guys race at two big local tracks and they practice all week in the strippins. This place, Coal Hill\Treverton\Shamokin is the home of GNC racer Jason Dunkelburger and GNCC Women's class three time champion Traci Cecco.
