What JM485 ^^ said, but as a promoter, I'd always have to explain the sport as motorcycle hillclimbing to sponsors and such, because Pikes Peak, ATV hillclimbs, and other forms are more recognizable on the internet. Go look up #hillclimb on Instagram and good luck finding an actual hillclimb bike. Also, lots of motocross guys think of hillbilly hillclimbs when...

Just how motocross tracks have evolved over time, hillclimbing has evolved as well to keep up with bike technology and the more talented riders these days. That's one of the reasons we're calling it motoclimb, it's changed into something totally different and still gnarly! And the wheel travel is about the same as most motocross bikes. Weusually use the same...

Yeah no kidding! It gets pretty crazy when there is two 70+ HP 450's lined up to go as fast straight up the rough stuff as possible. And it depends on the hill layout. On more motocross-style hills with less slope and more turns, the 450's perform well. But it's hard to beat the sheer power those Open bikes put...

It really has progressed to another level! Most of the bikes are run on pump/gas bikes, and those are KTM 1190s, GSXR750s or 1000s pushing between 100-180 hp. The bikes running nitro methane 4 cylinder motors are pushing 200-350 hp. They are all insane, but the top fuel bikes are just so violent, expensive, and quick.

Here are a couple recent photos of the build. It runs and most of the frame is complete, we just need to complete running the wiring, water plumbing, airbox, suspension, and custom exhaust. That is Eric from Central Coast Machine, he's the main fabricator of the build.

Seriously! These guys are nuts, but that's why I'm behind the camera, to give them their proper exposure. But those big bikes are way too much fun to ride, it's the coolest feeling having a 150+ HP underneath your legs. If you ever get the chance to rip on one, do not turn the opportunity!

I remember that bike when I went to the 2012 Widowmaker, things are clean. Who owns those now?

That's the hard part! Heck most of the motivation to get over is so they don't have to walk it down

Heck yeah! Craig Spencer's bikes? Widowmaker was the best hill ever, to make it that close is a major accomplishment

Austin's kill tether was pulled out mid air actually! It's on GoPro floating in the air when he crosses that road. He could have recovered from the cross rut, happens all the time, but the bike shut off.

This one is pushing about 250 horsepower, it's straight up nasty! Watch this episode because we focused more on Austin's nitro bike during his the first round at Carnegie. That oil has to get changed every two runs and looks like chocolate milk, and he goes through about a gallon of nitro per run ($35 a gallon). https://youtu.be/8NWFLby-POQ
