Most of the time it isn't very elegant. Occasionally, we get lucky....:lol:

Yup, sometimes you just gotta jump. How did it go after the dismount?

Not bad actually! Spotters caught my bike and I only rolled over my own head 2-3 times before I got to the bottom of the hill and was able to collect myself :)

Always have to have a plan B!:lol: Around here we call it ghost riding,when you know your not going to make a hillclimb you gas it hard as you bail off the back trying to give the atv one last shove up the hill as you go.

Great footage as always billy really makes me jealous for a nice video cam.

Wow that was steep. Probably would have been bad if the spotters didn't catch the trike.

That was a really nasty hill, I'm only the second person to make it up. Actually very surprised I made it at all. I'll post the actual video clip tonight when I get home but it totally does it no justice. You do kind of get an idea how steep it is by looking at the angle of the trees though. Its funny, the bail off happens so fast in the full speed video its like in just the flash of an eye.

It looks like a steep hill. It could have been worse, you could messed your trike up.:) ^ Ladies and gentlemen, that is what Billy looks like with his helmet off.:D
