Just wanted to clue everyone in on a new video series my buddy Matt at Elevated Actions Sports is putting on. The series follows along with pro hillclimber Austin Teyler, giving you an idea of what he does to get himself to the top of the game. I've raced with Austin for years and he and his entire family are just awesome, super nice people that nobody has a bad word to say about. Every time he makes a run at the hill you know you're going to get a hell of a show, there is no such thing as anything but full throttle for him on any bike, even an open-class bike. Matt has been doing so much for the sport of hillclimbing over the last couple years, and this video series is just another way he's pushing to bring the sport back into the relevance it once had. This isn't just old guys on cr500s anymore, it's a full on professional sport that's pushing riders and equipment to the max. Everyone is so fast now, and I can't believe how much the pace has changed in the last few years, it really is amazing how much better everyone has pushed each other to be. Hope you guys enjoy, I think this is an awesome way to get people familiar with the sport who may not be, and introduce it as a real discipline that takes an entirely different skill set then any other form of racing.
Good ambassadorial effort!

Hillclimbing was big when i was a kid. Although the runs are intense, a lot of down time in between for participants at the events i went to. As a spectator it's a blast.
You also do a lot for the sport JM485, it's obviously a passion of yours as well, good luck and thanks for posting.
The community is another huge aspect of it. I've seen people let others ride their bikes, help with parts, shoot I've even changed fork springs for someone Friday before the races. It's really an awesome thing to be a part of and I'm hoping more people can experience it in the near future.
I couldnt watch the first 2 min, but the last 45 sec was real good.
