Harris Lois climbing hills sucks the horsepower up, thats why they rev the piss out of their bikes cause when they land they want ludicrous speed...not just rediculous speed.
LOL Epic video!! I remember watching this years back, and somehow keep finding myself coming back every 6 months or so lol. These guys have more balls than The Stig
@NazarethoNL12 The tire isn't extended, the swingarm is. And extending the swingarm makes it take more torque for the bike to wheelie, which means it lowers the chance the front wheel will come up off the ground.
i once read an article that was based on some hill climb in about 1999/2000. it said the catches got a case of beer and a t-shirt to stand on the side with hooks and grab the bikes and riders as they went past. One catcher even got a bonus broken ankle!
I haven't really payed much attention to Hill climb like this before and never knew they had such a long wheel base with those bikes, they're huge. Some of those looked awkward and a little painful.
@87banshee1 They do that so the bike doesn't wheelie as easily as the regular set. If you try that with a normal dirt bike, it'd rotate around you before you hit the dirt lol. Same principal as drag racing. Add the rods with wheels at the back to keep it from flipping over.
the extendend swingarm of the bikes is so you dont go over backwards so easy, if you did the hill climbs on a normal dirtbike sure you may make it up but maybe 1 out of a 100 trys if you got lucky because a normal dirtbike will just flip over backwards
@oknasob yea i get that but why not just make it a little bit longer than making the bike double in length, i climb pretty big hills with a normal swingarm, i know the swingarms need to be bigger, but why do they need to be ridiculously big?
@V46RTheDoctor Either to make it harder, or easier. I don't really know for sure but it definately doesn't look like it would be easier to ride a bike up steep ass hills like that LOL. Probably makes it really challenging and fun
@Austin941 Please, did you make this video? its so cool but what more cool is the music! Please if you did make this video tell me the name of the song.....its Epic but I cant find it anywhere! Please if you do know the song tell me. Thank you!
Why dont all of the riders have that cover over the back of the tire? It must really hurt when they land on the back of that spinning tire! great vid though.
@Kukes9095 all seem to be making the same mistake though.. keeping throttle open in mid air and letting it fly up when landing.. hows bout off power in air, land, THEN put power down?... shoudn't take loadsa attempts to realise this surely?
I wonder why these guys who know these jumps are coming don't have a set of pegs further back with a better angle, so when it wheelies they can still say at a 90degrees to the ground, or at least so they can shift their weight further forward. It would be like how a snowmobile has tipped up rails.
This is so much better then football because it takes two balls.
i remember watching this when i was 7
It would be great to hear the bikes instead of the horrible attempt at music.
Seen this a million times never gets old
i've been riding for awhile, seen some fast, powerful bikes. Nothing compares to this! I give these guys 2 thumbs up!
Don't open the throttle in the air ! Just saying

+ross koeman light speed is too slow
1:27 Braaaaahhh
I love the fact that no matter what is happening, as long as their had is on the throttle, it is wide open!
Awesome Video. Keep the footage coming!
I love watching the attitude of the bikes as they 'dance' their way across the finish line
LOL Epic video!! I remember watching this years back, and somehow keep finding myself coming back every 6 months or so lol. These guys have more balls than The Stig
This vid is my childhood 😂
Nice video Austin ,you to Jamey. Stick to cow trailing myself
@NazarethoNL12 The tire isn't extended, the swingarm is. And extending the swingarm makes it take more torque for the bike to wheelie, which means it lowers the chance the front wheel will come up off the ground.
Incredible footage
1:27 This thing takes an outrageous acceleration!!!
Whats the Song name, pls??
I love this video.
The description at first glance really looks like "If you like this clip, try to do it yourself!"
1:27 Throttle hang... The single most heatening thing to happen in motocross and enduro. Seriously; imagine that to a pile of pointy rocks.
i once read an article that was based on some hill climb in about 1999/2000. it said the catches got a case of beer and a t-shirt to stand on the side with hooks and grab the bikes and riders as they went past. One catcher even got a bonus broken ankle!
I was wondering where this clip went to. I missed it
@JustMe111094 Are you thinking of "The Tortoise Beats the Hare"? "Slow and Steady Wins the Race"?
It's like trying to ride an aluminum ladder with over a hundred horsepower! Good work,
whats that super cool soundtrack folks ?
unbelievable great motorsport anyway. :)
gotta love youtube, i started off on a video of a robot controlled by a mouse brain, and now i'm on hill climb vids XD
@roXsh0xj0 yeah, on drag bikes, they stretch the swing arm to gun it real hard without popping a wheelie.
hahaha i love how the music goes slow for the guy who almost made it, then jumps right back into the heavier shit when he falls
i cant stop watching it,
I haven't really payed much attention to Hill climb like this before and never knew they had such a long wheel base with those bikes, they're huge.
Some of those looked awkward and a little painful.
Wonder if they score extra points for the most dramatic finish. Or... crash.
I accidentaly found this sport, this is the BEST!
Powerful engines. What's the purpose of stretched rocker arms?
Well....If you read the description...It says "Hill climb crashes from 2004"....so....
@87banshee1 They do that so the bike doesn't wheelie as easily as the regular set. If you try that with a normal dirt bike, it'd rotate around you before you hit the dirt lol. Same principal as drag racing. Add the rods with wheels at the back to keep it from flipping over.
best part! here you really see the power of these bikes!!!
A ton of those are from Poag's Hole! my hometown in NY
@xam107 302 people were hillclimbers who realized they could of gone around it
That's gotta be scary as hell when you're in the air and then the back wheel catches
1:30 you see how fast that thing accellerated!? jesus these things have some crazy power
those drive chains must be like a millions links long!
do they do this sort of hill climb in the uk would love to go watch it
oh man, the silliness
1:27 wow that thing took off!
the extendend swingarm of the bikes is so you dont go over backwards so easy, if you did the hill climbs on a normal dirtbike sure you may make it up but maybe 1 out of a 100 trys if you got lucky because a normal dirtbike will just flip over backwards
Lmao, that entire text that was supposed to be a paragraph, was all literally one sentence.
I love people who know they are going to flip and are doing a wheelie and they keep giving it gas 1:27
@oknasob yea i get that but why not just make it a little bit longer than making the bike double in length, i climb pretty big hills with a normal swingarm, i know the swingarms need to be bigger, but why do they need to be ridiculously big?
Anyone know who plays the music? I have looked at all the Vertical Destruction dvd's. I want to start breaking shit when I hear this!
Actually the point of the extended swing arm is so that when your going up steeper hills the bike has a lesser chance of wheeling and flipping over.
i've almost forgot that was the main idea at hill climb crash most impressive or just climb up to the hill..
14 million views?! damn dude.....
@V46RTheDoctor Either to make it harder, or easier. I don't really know for sure but it definately doesn't look like it would be easier to ride a bike up steep ass hills like that LOL. Probably makes it really challenging and fun
I can't believe it will be 20 YEARS since we shot this video! WOW, It's seems like yesterday, Let's do a Hillclimb havoc II. LOL!
i climb hills like this on my BMX bike sometimes...i dont understand why this is so cool
type in "ski crashes" in the youtube search box and click the video with stars on it to see the wickedest crashes ever
@Austin941 Please, did you make this video? its so cool but what more cool is the music! Please if you did make this video tell me the name of the song.....its Epic but I cant find it anywhere! Please if you do know the song tell me. Thank you!
the guy in the yellow vest at 1:22 is the true champion of the day.goes to help him but falls worse than the guy he's tryin to save
Holy crap that's dangerous, that's really cool
0:39 the worker dude is like "do we go help him?"
lol
Hi,I from brasil and I like the music(sorry my english) you can,please talk me the name the sound? tank you!
@Forest9924 lmao ikr the extended swingarms add to much wieght to the back
Damn one guy made it, and looked like he knew what he was doing.
The other (2?) that made it were just hanging on for dear life... XD
That looks like a lot of fun
Why dont all of the riders have that cover over the back of the tire? It must really hurt when they land on the back of that spinning tire! great vid though.
The guys have balls the size of an aircraft carrier!
Question. Can the not add weight to the front of these things to help hold them down?
DAMN, this bikes have enormous power !!!!
The staff guy on the right at 1:20 is a really big help at that time.
@Wai0huLi790 while he is on air, the wheel spin very quickly and when he lands, he gets a powerful boost :)
1:27 looks like he gets really messed up.
@guymclaren they extend the rear so there less likely to lift under throttle...
@bugz000 Yeah! my thoughts exactly! prob'ly almost a G worth of acceleration
the last one was pretty cool... air air air WHOOOSH!
This looks sick!!! I wanna do it!!!!
i think these hill climb bikes are a little too extended like wtf i think some of them had a 3 and 1/2 foot extension holy shit
Why do they ride so crazy??? R they even trying to make it up???
I think even these swing arms are too short to handle this powerhouse!!!
these bikes have extended wheelbases witch makes them longer
I love the music, anyone know the name?
they're special hillclimb bikes, that's why they have these extremely long swing arms!
Im going to download elastomania right now!
i love the jump at 1:26 its like a rocket once it hits the ground
For me watching this on my iPhone, yea, I feel like my vision "is only this wide" :D HAHA
Warp speed, Mr. Sulu
in my language there is a fucking quote
and it sounds like that: " The one who goes slower, reaches far" or something like that
@Kukes9095 all seem to be making the same mistake though.. keeping throttle open in mid air and letting it fly up when landing.. hows bout off power in air, land, THEN put power down?... shoudn't take loadsa attempts to realise this surely?
aren't those straight 4 cyl engines// look powerful//
powerful bikes! i couldnt believe it at first!
looking at those bikes you would think there is no way i would filp the bike backwards and most of them did! :0?
Man, kudos to Hill Climbers too. Your whole body takes a beating.
I wonder why these guys who know these jumps are coming don't have a set of pegs further back with a better angle, so when it wheelies they can still say at a 90degrees to the ground, or at least so they can shift their weight further forward.
It would be like how a snowmobile has tipped up rails.
@thabasslover Do you mean as in "Ball bearings" ?
Because you should know that a real man doesn't lose his so easily.
That is so sweet is that a club
This might be a dumb question but why do they have extended slide arms? looks like it causes more problems.
Have you thought about going over the jump a little bit slower
@GeorgeWelsh22 i think that dude got knocked outXD did u see the muscle stiffness??
ME PUEDE ALGUIN DECIR POR QUE ALARGAN EL BASTIDOR TRASERO?ES ALGUNA DISCIPLINA O SOLO POR HOBBY? GRACIAS¡¡¡
1:20 is the funniest ever lol love it
Not really because the bikes have so much power, I mean they have gxr 1000 motors in them
@FrogMike81 i think the problem is that they will lose momentum
youd think they would learn not to hold it wide open when they are front wheel high up in the air
