Cool video, but the camera wasn't mounted level. Either that or he takes right curves with the tank scraping. :lol:

I see they have asphalt all the way to the top now. They didn't have that when I was up there back in 98.

Cool Stuff.....maybe our 2-stroke meet should be there..... :shock:

Can't tell much from a video but, he seemed to frequently be late on the throttle and chopping it a lot.
A 10R has so much pull it's probably hard not to chop it bit; couldn't tell if was trail braking.

Although he seem to get better as he progressed.

"The Climb" is one of the most fun rides a person can do, just plain fantastic.

Been to many of the races over the years (duh - I live here). 2013 was the first all paved and it was a hard for many racers. We had a spot on a curve with a lot of crashes.
The first one below I pulled the guy out of an inferno -
