2022 Freemansburg Premier Class | AMA American Hillclimb Rd. 5 RAW Footage

These guys may have cojones, but when over 15 riders ascend it successfully, it tells us that it isn't as hard as you think..

What's with All the leaf blower in the face nonsense 😂

That’s so funny that they use air blowers for the riders.
I’m an old top fuel fan and they ran eight cylinder with that in their face with respirators. Best fuel but it sure kills your eyes and nose.

You throttled 3 whiskeys

Can someone please explain the leaf blower use pre run?

oh leaf blower boy little to the left

I guess it keeps the rednecks away from their sisters and cousins for a bit.

Реально на резиновых шипах вероятность добраться до финиша больше. Да метал хватает сильнее, но из-за этого получается рывак и падение.

😂

I went to Freemansburg several times in the 70's, and one time I wangled a Press Pass, and stood on the hill, photographing the bikes as they flew by overhead! Lou Gerencer on his Harley, Earl Bowlby on his BSA, Williams on his Honda. Yep, the Good Old Days.

Scheiss Amidreck, 5 Leute für einen Karren. Kommerz ohne Sinn und Herz.

This is like Monte Impossible for beginers. Not for me.

What's that leaf blower for

I seen this guy with a stock Harley-Davidson go up that hill😮

👍

mantap men

Enough with the Drama on the starting line. Just GO already!

What are the leaf blowers for?

I love it when you got these guys that have 3 I r 4 crew members helping him at the start and takes for every to every leave and then wipes out about halfway up, and then you have a guy comes up by himself barely even stops at the start and takes off and rides all the way over the top like it was a Sunday afternoon cruise!!!!!!

Look at this guy number 2, 3 of them at the start holding his bike while he is fixing his goggles, like he hasn't known for last 30 minutes when his turn was and waited until it was time to take off from the start line to adjust his goggles and yeah you made it but no one was impressed, hope you didn't mess your hair putting on your helmet!!!!!!!!

What's with blowing air in the riders face ?

whats the motor on these?

The French can climb this hill with their finger in their nose
Den Berg schaffen die Franzosen mit einem Finger in der Nase
Les Français peuvent gravir Cette côte avec le doigt dans le nez

what are they all fiddling around with the fan

why they don't shift into first gear themselves ?

they are too disabled to shift into first gear

its a giggle to watch the crew bring the bike to the start line gurggling away like real pro riders take off and ride like total wood ducks

I went to the hill climb either 79, 80 or 81. One of those three. Very few guys made it up the hill to the top.

Also in 79 or 80 I was invited to go to the hill to go sledding/tubing. I was working for a house Framer. He said let's go. But I didn't. I went shoveling snow because I had to make money.

Anyway Joe, the owner of the Framing company, and all-around good guy went tubing. He was injured. I forget what it was. May be a broken shoulder? Ribs? I'm not going to use his last name here. He was from Lehigh county originally and lived in Allentown when I worked for him. I'll give you a hint, disco Joey.

Anyway, as I sit here having evolved to a reasonable cautious self I wonder, is it riskier ascending the hill on a motorized vehicle where you have some ability to steer and provide the level of propulsion you desire,,, 0R,,, is it a greater risk descending the hill, with gravity and the slickness of the precipitation on the Earth dictating your speed and your steering Is left up to,,,, oh yeah,,, steering is helpful.

Anyway Joe. Thanks for everything David Who referred Rocky to you.

Those are some badass machines

These videos amaze me...
These dudes have very decked out bikes, lavish uniforms, helmets, etc... Clearly - they think this is a monumental undertaking and a momentous "achievement" and they appear to be well prepared... Then, half of these people don't even get a third of the way up the hill... It's like preparing / training for a marathon, getting the most expensive running attire (shoes, shorts, etc); and then completing the arduous run in 17 hours...

No metal fenders.

Dirt bike crash

i love to see smaller bikes trying to do it as well

Can someone explain to me why they keep blowing the riders faces before they take off is it because of the nitro fuel or what?

Some of these bikes making so much horsepower don't make it up the hill and then you see a two-stroke just rip right up... Also I think it'd be cool to see an electric dirt bike do this they do make gobs of torque

What are those mini leaf blower looking things that they point at the riders before they start their run?

My favorite event is when they have 4 or 5 of the 450’s line up and drag race up the hill.

I grew up in the neighboring town of Bethlehem. When I was a teenager, my buddies and I would try to tube down that hillclimb after a snow. Even starting at only the second tier, we never made it.

Is this a training hill for children? Everyone seems to make a full run.

Of all the different types of motorcycle competitions hill climbing with nitro fueled bikes has to be the most bad assed.
This is a really great climb as it's progressively tougher but definitely doable.
Gotta give em all credit for getting on the damn thing and cranking the throttle.

🦾🦾🦾

Why don’t these dumbasses clean their goggles off in the pits before they get up to the starting line?

Porque esse negócio coloca próximo de rosto?

The owner doesnt let the rider choose the line of departure?

Beautiful bikes.
