Nice video. Especially after doing so many videos myself, I know the camera does not do hills any justice in representing them. My most recent video I posted here, after watching it myself, some of those insane hills look flat the entire way, LOL. About the only giveaway was only people going up this hill along side me at 5MPH.scottclarke said:Messed about with 30mins of vid - cut all the nonsense and was left with 1 minute.
Basically a bunch of hill starts ending in a very steep slope + some faster fun at the end

- the first hillock in the vid is impassable by pedal power, its steeper than 45 degrees - 65+ degrees for much of the rise - its also over 6ft high and features many rocks/bricks on the way up! The steepness is hard to measure since it varies - but I do know you can't stop half way up or you fall of the back - yes - did that in times of lower torque!Yeah, exactly. I know some roads this steep, but they aren't "travel roads", but just park roads. They are also curvy (that's why they post 15 MPH speed limit signs everywhere). As far as some high grade hill that is straight, except for the short one on one of my club rides, I don't know of any place like this. Like you said, if they made roads that steep that was 3 or 4 miles long and straight, just image all of the accidents from people trying to see how fast their vehicle will goLowell said:
