When I look at those monster-bike hillclimbers that you see on the telly, .....the kind with customized ££$$ zillion HP bike engines with stretched swing-arms and paddle-steamer rear tyres....I think;-
I'm sure I know a few good trials riders that could do that on a standard trials bike ?

Well?

For the last time...it's not 'SUPPOSED' to have a seat.

Check out the trials bike trying a real hill at 3:55 (right after the Star Ship Enterprise!)

Definatly Rachau, & also this one Andler in Belgium have to be the toughest hillclimbs of them all.


It's those rocks to the top of the climb that make it very difficult, Maybe a trials bike going up it instead would have a much bigger advantage?

I like the guy at 4:53 bike stalls and he can't get it to start and just pitches it over the side of the starting platform.
