locogato11283 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 fuck ama national hillclimb events.. this event shows NOTHING. its not the best riders, the setup is jacked, and the ama fucks everything up.. i attended the nationals in red wing, mn.. it was the most poorly run event ive ever been to.. there were no name guys signing up the day of the climb.. i thought it was supposed to be a NATIONAL event where the best riders competed?? also, in order to find the best rider at an event like this, you need to show that a rider has consistency and not just speed. anyone can get a fluke run. at the 2006 event in red wing, the first half of the atv class had a nice tacky hill to run on.. times were quick.. halfway through it started pouring down rain. the last half of the riders rode a shitty, muddy hill with no traction.. the next day for second runs it was a sloppy mess. half of the guys who rode a dry hill the first day couldnt even make it.. the ones who did had terrible times. now tell me how this can be considered to show the best? it was weak. never again will i spend my money to ride a national climb.. anyway, my buddy that i race against here is going. pretty quick bike.. he cant beat me, but he will be a force out there im sure.

Aint an ATV on the planet making it up that hill unless you got a + 20 swinger LOL. The video does it zero justice. That last portion of the hill looks like atleast 75 degrees in person. The events at Freemansburg are all pro with one or two limited races of amatuers/locals but they can ride the hill. Popular rider there every year (Dudes Insane) is Tiger Strank. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF9I1ceZTn0 Then again, I've seen even more insane hills that make freemansburg look like a hill for first timers. Like this one... :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildcardracing Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 BTW, heres a kick ass snow mobile hill climb. :thumbsup: Sno king (Jackson Hole) is pretty cool to watch in person. Haven't been in quite some time, back then only a few made it over the top. Nowdays, it's a timed event that few don't make it over. Crazy how much has changed with sleds the past few years.

This is an amatuer event its just a bunch of no name guys anyway unless you run everyyear then you know who has and dont have fast machines. Yeah you get the guys who just come in to play to have a good time, but sometimes those are the best cause they just end up donating their money to the winner. Ive never been to the Red Wing Hillclimb did they just have a bad weekend or is it ran like that all the time? Ive been to WV a few times and Ohio a few and they were pretty smooth. And as for consistancy well you have that in every sport conditions can change in a flash. Motocross nationals you will have the same issue, nice sunny day and then it rains and then someone else wins , just the luck of the draw. Who is your buddy that is going to the nationals? The best part I enjoy is going to an event and having a good time with other clinbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part I enjoy is going to an event and having a good time with other clinbers well a national event shouldnt consist of a bunch of tards on their 400ex's and shit. they would have a bigger draw if the event was a qualifier event for the top guys. otherwise, whats the point? red wing is usually fine.. it just happened to rain that day. thats why i dont like the setup of the national hillclimb. to find out who is the best, and not just lucky, times should be combined. josh perry is my buddy thats going.
