These are some woods buggies that got together for a fun hill climb event. Notice the second video you are looking straight down into his buggy. That is Darrel's buggy. The single seater is Charlie showing the younger ones how its done.

Most are single seaters the others that are two seater they don't want the extra weight in the buggy. I have climbed a few of those hills before and I can tell you once you start up you never look back. Balls and guts are required to hit these type hills. You will also notice that the front end is barely on the ground at all. You have to have the weight transfer to make it up these near vertical hills.

More vids to come of this past weekend that I will get posted.

Guys also don't carry passengers up the hills cause it is just flat out embarrassing to hear a grown man screaming like a little girl.

No grief taken rexr, just filling you in is all, most of the motors are 2275 to 2500. These guys will strip every ounce off their buggy that they can find and still be safe. I have been with some that will stop at the bottom of a hill and un bolt the radio and extra seat and pull it out just to get that extra out of not hauling it up the hills. This weekend was a competition between about 10 guys with $1000 to the winner of the hill climb in Alabama, and another hillclimbing event in Kentucky at D&K OHV park. I have to find the picture but will post it with the other videos. Hope you liked the videos, just showing what we do when we don't have sand or flat areas to ride. But mainly that we are all VW nutts at heart.

Well keep those vids coming because that is quite impressive..

I was born and raised in Florida on a motorcycle running thru the woods so I miss that kind of riding now that I am here in SoCal where most of the terrain is desert. We do have some decent hills but they are mostly sand and DG..

There are some pretty good rock crawling areas up in the local mountains but I try and keep the baja away from there.. FAR AWAY!!!! :shock:
