Doesn't look like your climbing anything :D

[TrikerR]

is that what u guys ova there call a hill climb...i mean my drive ways steeper. just joking mate, good pic

[Derrick Adams]

If he's riding in PA, you better believe it's a hill. Some of the best trails i've ever ridden over there.

I hate how pictures never show angles good.

[350Xhilaration]

The name of that hill is "Crippler" I didnt have my foot down for nuthin'. Nasty *** ruts and massive roots. Every time it rains the hill changes. It's not as bad as the name implies, but I know of a handful of people that have gone down on their backs...including Speedbumps wife (she wasnt holding on too well) :)

[TrikerR]

yea it does look more technical than a standard hill climb

[Billy Golightly]

Old jeep trail? Cool picture.

[TrikeKid]

looks like fun. i'd rather take a dirt bike than a trike up it.

[bigredhead]

i prefer large mud holes over large hills... that sucker looks steep( look at the tree angles )

[3 weelin geezer]

Looks to me like the only thing that is being climbed is that 3 weeler. Kinda like when I rolled mine over trying to get out of a washout sideways. (no, my bro did not take a picture while I was under the trike. He didn't get off to help me either.) If you want to show the steepness try getting a shot from the side with the camera level with the horizon. I think that would give some perspective of the steepness right away. That trail looks pretty level compared to the tree angles though.

[350Xhilaration]

It really was not that bad...I wasnt bragging about the monster hill I climbed. I try not to climb any BIG hills because if I roll it, I can't afford to fix it back to the way it is right now. It's too nice and I'm too poor. :p

[Wickedfinger]

Judging from the amount of Rhotodendrons - I'd say he's somewhere in the Pocanos!. Thats Pa. ridin if I ever saw it. All this "its not that steep" and "hes level" nonsense debating needs to stop - you all wish you could be the subject of the picture, enjoying yourselves like he is. The post was "Hillclimb pic" not "Hey, check out this pic, then critique me over how steep the hillclimb really is".

[TimSr]

Its extremely diffcult to show a hill grade in a photo. I have found that the only way you can really capture it is to photograph from the top of a diffent hill across from the one being climbed. Not easy in the woods. The pictures of Devils Backbone at Haspin make it look pretty lame, but I didnt see all that much travel on it.
This is an excellent action photo that really captures trail riding, especially with the rider having to work it! This is riding. A guy holding the throttle wide open through a flat parking lot doesnt impress me much.

Thanks guys!!!
West central PA. Here's a pic of my trike with a decent backdrop of some hills.

Nice pics! That hill in the first pic looks real steep to the right of ya.

[350Xhilaration]

Here are few other pics of that hill. Not the biggest or gnarliest, but a decent hill

That last pic prooves that extra wheel just gets in the way

[83185s]

bad *** man..think a 185 could climb them?? id atleast try..lol

[MTS]

looks like some good dirt biking terrain, cool pics :D

[Dammit!]

Ah yes, The Rut. A trike's natural enemy.

I don't know if I hate them more going up, or on the way down.

[TTribaLL]

bad *** man..think a 185 could climb them?? id atleast try..lol


I had my 200m climb some nasty *** hills. Not smooth/dry/easy ones either ;)

[Pistonhead]

Those look like tonnes of fun, cool area too. That could be an interesting run if you did it in a powerful bush buggy.

[Preddy05]

Nice pics....I don't live to far away from you bein i live in strongstown i live like 20 - 30mins away maybe sometime we can get together and go riding.

[Maine_Triker]

Safe to say, i'v seen and been on lot's of hills, and that one is definitly one of the worst i'v ever seen.

[bonkers_200s]

OK lets get this straight, my trike is better than yours, the hills I climb are steeper, the camera I take my pics with is of a better quality, and my 3rd grade teacher is way prettier than yours.

With that out of the way.....


LMAO I'm just busting your chops, you can see the water way running through the trail, they can definatly make for a tricky ride, looks like ya had a good time:)
