Watch this crazy shit! The gnarly uphill section reminds me of a way more extreme Suicide Mtn at Saddleback (or was it Banzai? pic below) Seriously, check this shit out and look at all the spectators packed on the hillside, Italians take their moto seriously!
Watch: 2012 FMI Enduro National Italian Championships Rd 2
The Italian crowd packs the hillside for this incredibly brutal stage of the Extreme Test at the 2012 FMI Enduro National Italian Championships in Lumezzane, Italy. You have got to see this to believe it!
Tell me, doesnt it remind you a bit of this? but wayyy gnarlier.

How about the dude with the flashing LED lights on him? lol that section he bailed on (downhill) also looked gnarly!
Loved the crowd packed hills, reminded me of the Tour De France...dirtbike style

But to be clear, I'm not discounting the skill or speed of the guys in that video. They are very talented. I'm just biased because living in the Appalachian mountains has kind of spoiled me. A large part of my ability and skill set has come from growing up here in some of the most difficult and varied terrain in the country.
I really don't know how you guys in the midwest and Texas and such stand it. Just flatness everywhere. It would suck so bad!
How ironic.

Edit: To clarify... that sig is because I'm tired of every time I post I get flamed because I don't ride two wheels. Bunch of 12 year olds on this forum. I'd rather add something to the convo than spend all my posts defending myself from the flaming. Look back through my (relatively short) post history... Not once will you find me flaming or attacking anyone. I try to add to any conversation I partake in. That doesn't seem to be a coveted quality in this forum.
Well,with gems like below, what do you expect?
"I gotta be honest... That doesn't look even remotely difficult. Maybe I am a bit biased. I have more difficult terrain in my backyard. All of that looked like a normal trail ride within a few miles of my house. My old quad would have made quick work of that. "
That is not bias, it is being totally clueless.
..and before you come back with some bs about being "attacked" this is no attack, it is "fact"
In all seriousness, you should think about signing up for the World Enduro's. Since that looks so easy for you. Because some of the world's best offroad guys were at this event and they we're not making up that hill.
In fact, "hill" is not a proper term. The video does that event no justice. It was near vertical for the last 25 feet. Your quad would have more than likely taken out spectators below as it tumbled to its death.
