View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8DpuEHgViA&feature=youtu.be This was one of the harder hills on the 3rd Moto But it was so worth the climb to get to ride all the single track up on the top
I acknowledge this.....wow , not for me John....the whole drag the bike up or down doesn't work for me. Tough is great, unrideable by me is too wacky. Notice I said by me, because the pros rode right up that thing Im sure.
Robert 90 plus present maybe even more then 90 present was ride able really KOM is not that hard it is just hard all day I did the night race on Saturday and only need help once for about 20 feet did the sunday morning race and again only once for about 20 feet Did sunday afternoon the super enduro and really this hill video was the only hill that this 60 year old man needed help on You really need to do it at least once my TE 300 worked perfect in fact I did the race on the same clutch as last year I am going back during the year to trail ride it come join me some time The single track we got to ride after the hill climb was worth all the hard work to get there not many people will ever get up there
the part that doesn't look fun to me is the start all at once then sit in line.... they should start one every 15 seconds or something.... I freak out waiting in line....
I hear that. Last year at the Virginia city Grand Prix I got stuck waiting in line at the bottom of a really crappy climb and everyone up top was bottlenecked. Talk about coming uncorked...needless to say I couldn't take after about 2-3 minutes i just started plowing through the crowd while everyone else rendered themselves bystanders until it cleared. No effin way with the adrenaline pumping I'm sitting around
KOM is really a completely different event. Just about every thing about it is different. You have to want it to finish. You have to spend time setting up your bike and working on this type of riding Every year I get better. Change your idea of what a normal race is and embrace the KOM challance I have posted so many times it really is not that hard It is just hard all day Nothing is really unrideable If you bring your MX or Baja bike geared for 100 mph then yes maybe un ride able All year long I enter races that for the most part I know that I should finish But once a year I enter KOM and work hard to finish I am only racing myself and the chasing the idea of a finish. So that is why I do KOM Also seems more people every year are also chasing that idea
I'd give it a shot. I've spent so much time dragging and pushing my bike through stuff that I now can ride through. I just keep going through the same stuff until I make through on two wheels. I doubt I'd finish the event but it'd be fun just to try. Where does the event take place?

One of those Saddleback, Irwindale, Perris, Corona, Ascot guys from the seventies. Now that I am older, I am looking for the next bike high. I admit it- I am a bike junkie. Been trying Baja and BITD races. Its a whole new animal. Ajax- I might get a 125 and try this with you. At the very least, we can have some great BS'ing after the race. Fat Daddy
I have done it 3 times on a worked over Husky 165 Let me tell you DO NOT TRY IT ON A 125 The 125 is too small I have my 165 geared 12/52 and it still was hard The last 2 years I rode a bone stock 2016 Husky TE 300 and it was so much easier and having the extra power and the button made all the difference I see you are in Blythe so come ride the course and see if it is for you I will help you with bike set up once you pick what bike you are going to ride
damn I just watched coltons start viddy when he comes up on taylor and all the guys stop....I will stick to the single track slooooower stuff ....scary also noah was on the game with the "big" GG300
Robert This race had 3 different motos 1 a night race 2 a desert race with some speed 3 a super enduro you can do it. The desert part was like a National and you do that so see you next year on the line
I thought I was a tuff guy trophying the original Blackwater 100 back in the day but that uphill at 63 yrs old might kill me. LOL.
