my 2012 Pikes Peak International hill climb race video

"I can fly! I can fl..."

 

you guys have never seen Conor Cummins wreck from off the mountain at TT 2011 huh?

he had plenty of "wee" time

 

Yeah, but he was doing airborne cartwheels.

Yeah....I considered posting the video

 

awesome vid, and great riding. well done!!

cheers.joe.

 

Very cool. Lots of spectators, including a bunch in the run-off areas! Thanks for sharing.

 

That takes some balls. I think I'll stick to the track

 

And during that "wee" time he actually bounced over a dry stone wall:wow:

 

Yeah but... compare that to the airtime, vertical drop and rocky landing of Jeremy Foley's wreck at Devils Playground on Pike's this year. Can't imagine going off there on a bike.

 

Holy crap! :wow:

That's probably as close as I'll ever get and I'm fine with that. Thank you for sharing.

 

I'll choose to not wreck at either place on a bike

been there done that, it hurts

 

Well yes, in a perfect world

 

I am with you on that, I don't like vids with music, I just mute it most of the time, I would rather hear the motor too.

Looks like it was super fun.

 

Sweet video. Do they have an XR100 class? Might have to time it with a calender.

 

Awesome video! Now that it is fully paved, will they offer supersport an superbike classes? Those that entered this year, was it invitational only under Exhibition Powersports? I'd love to do this some day

 

anyone could enter this year. it just cost you like $800 in entry fees

 

What was the $400 general registration then?

 

I think the TT course is about twice as fast average speed wise. My average speed was around 65mph for the hill climb. Does not seem or sound all that fast does it?

This year the entry fee was $800 if you were on a sportbike because thats what it cost in the pwersports exhibition class. That is the class where they tend to put vehicles that dont fit into any other classes. For 2013 they should have at least one if not two classes for us. Probably 600 superbike and a open class. My guess is they will at least have a open class. Entry fee should be more inline witih the other bike classes ($400) and i think a cash payout is also awarded.
My friend and I were asked for imput regaurding rules and class structure based on our roadracing backgrounds, hopefully it will be really good next year.

I am planning on racing it again next year so if i can help in anyway let me know.

You may be hearing from myself and a few other riders I am sure...

 

Let me know! I think we get to see a rough draft of the rules tomorrow. One of the guys on the PPIHC board is coming to drive at the track I work at. He mentioned he would bring a copy.
