Default Hill climb video

Did about 110 miles on the KLX today!! Man, I am BEAT. About 40 of it was through single track mountain bike trails. I am so dead.

Met a new rider and explored his 'hood.

Brought me to a lot of spots - and this sweeeet sand hill climb. First and second time made it right up. Then get the camera and I crap the bed. hahaha

That's how it always works.

Good times!!!

Cool video! I'm jealous because there are no hills like that in Florida, wish there was cause that looked a lot of fun.

110 miles c'mon thats weak, I did like 200 and something in a day last week. I'm just kidding, I was pretty wiped out too after that long ride last week.

Sweet hill! Not many of those down here where we are either, so we make the best of the ones we have. Here's one of ours, it's steeper than it looks.

Both looked fun to me.

Heh Brian, that terrain looks oddly familiar to me given I'm on the other side of the world.

I was specifically thinking that hill looked pretty tough when you posted it in your report. Steep, plus rocks and deep ruts all over the place. Looks like fun! I'd give it a go.

You would breeze it Brian, once you have the right line and stay out of the ruts as best you can.

We ride that one quite often as it's on a major connecting track.

This one looks easier but it wasn't.
Very steep, slippery and long with a few tight turns.
The pic is only half of it,

Very cool! Also, your bike sounds really good. That's an FMF Q4 setup?
