Watching Mike Brown or RC just wringing the guts out of their 125's on that hill, lap after lap was one of the highlights of going to this race over a 30 year span. Those PC 125's just sounded wicked!

This isn't even horsepower hill, it's the pre-jump! You should have put the camera right at the very top of it!

The videos are probably the coolest ones ya'll post!! Keep em coming!!
This video tho wasnt that great, I personally like the big jumps seeing every hit it different. It shouldve been at the big jump at the top of the hill. :D

They are not even scrubbing, they are just turning sideways.

The spot should have been about 5 feet behind the silencer on Mike Horbon's YZ 250.

For those of you that want to be negative about what you saw.Unless you can produce a video as good as this shut your crap hole. It was very good and fun to watch. I just wish they could have run the footage longer. Way to go RACER X for more excellent films and please keep them coming.

It's a great idea and everyone knows it is. We also imagine there is potential untapped and are hungered for more so please bring it on.

@Jake511, I agree! Watching the pros through the Hillsborough Hoops (not whoops!) was always epic! Washougal without the Chuck Sun jump and Catchersmit Corner sort of looks like 'shougal lost a tooth.

@asdf - I guess you didn't watch the entire video then. There were tons of shots looking down from the top of the hill.

To you morons complaining about this video I say this......just because you like big jumps doesn't mean that these vids are not cool. There is so much more to moto than jumping. Watching how different riders get the power to the ground to go up a 600 foot hill and choosing different lines may not be flashy, but if you pay attention you will see there are tons of different lines and techniques being employed by the riders. Any idiot can huck a big jump. Just twist the throttle and hang on. I see beginners at tracks in SoCal, Oregon, and WA that can all jump something that looks somewhat impressive. But watching them spode through corners, whoops, timing sections, or uphills is like watching a monkey having relations with a foot ball.

Keep up the good work RacerX. Don't listen to the adolescents posting on here that don't even spend their own money to purchase your mag or buy from your advertisers.

and to think that so many MX'ers gave me so much crap as a 125 nov for always moving my bike off each jump in the early 80's. they can all eat roost- I helped start the scrub revolution of today!
