  • After a two year hiatus, the impossibly steep, King of the Hill hill climb has returned to the small town of Brightwater, New Zealand! And I was there with my trusty KTM Killer (electric start Yamaha YZ250 2 stroke) to meet it head on, and try and improve upon my performance from the last time, when I wasn't quite able to get the speed necessary to clear the giant road gap jump half way up...
    More than 50 riders attempted to climb the hill, and they were each given three go's throughout the day... But did any make it up? This video tells the whole story in all it's epic, engine screaming, bike flipping glory! I hope you enjoy it.

    It feels so wrong that this is free content. The level of effort put into this video is on par with a network television show. You definitely earned my subscription Ash, I look forward to seeing more from you!

      @tankeater Před rokem

      Do you pay to not have commercials? Or do you watch commercials? Ether way, that's CZcams AND the content creator making money off you... if you are above the age of 15 and don't know this, you should be castrated so you can't clutter this world with Idiocracy.

      @sebasstein7014 Před rokem

      @@Seawolfaka Right? I hate people who act like you don`t earn money from CZcams. There are CZcamsrs that earn millions of dollarsa and not per year but every month. Look at Mr Beast, that guy earns more than some tv stations. But yeah a youtuber who gets paid from CZcams ads, maybe even has some sponsors in the video and a patreon link in the description and some idiot comes and is like "Oh wow bless your soul for giving us free content from the kindess of your heart"

    Got to be honest. This looks fun. Best bit was you taking time to give some recognition to the men at the top of the hill. That’s a class act.

    Super cool to see what you guys get up to on the other side of the planet, thanks for this video!!!!! Little tip here on your starts, take a page from the fast guys note book and bring your engine speed way up when you launch, you are starting at a huge disadvantage causing you to bog.

    We used to ride hills like this in Cal. You were balls out almost all the way up or you never made it. Towards the end if some of the climbs it would get steep so you found a happy medium to keep front end just off the dirt. So much fun miss those hills.
