Round 5 of the AMA American Hillclimb Series was at this 500' hill in Freemansburg, PA. Rainy conditions made for an interesting day of racing, with all three of the class championship points tightening up by the end of the race.

This was the Premier Class, which comprised of custom dirt bikes with limited engine size limits, fuel type, and wheel type. Jay Sallstrom won this class on his nitro-powered Yamaha R1, with Austin Teyler finishing second on his RM-Z750 powered with nitromethane, and Logan Cipala finished third on his Buell HCR 1190.

    Having ridden to the top of this hillclimb via the network of trails that the club maintains (on a trials bike) I can say the video does absolutely no justice for how steep and ridiculously tall this hill is. These guys have serious cojones for launching themselves up this hill!! Thanks for sharing the video.
  • I love it when you got these guys that have 3 I r 4 crew members helping him at the start and takes for every to every leave and then wipes out about halfway up, and then you have a guy comes up by himself barely even stops at the start and takes off and rides all the way over the top like it was a Sunday afternoon cruise!!!!!!

    I went to Freemansburg several times in the 70's, and one time I wangled a Press Pass, and stood on the hill, photographing the bikes as they flew by overhead! Lou Gerencer on his Harley, Earl Bowlby on his BSA, Williams on his Honda. Yep, the Good Old Days.
  • The camera does not do this Justice, this hill isn't straight up and down, but it's close, and taller than it looks.

    I would love to see this in person. I love motorcycles and I would love to see step by step how their built and everything else that goes with it.
  • I grew up in Easton and went to this a few times in the mid to late seventies as a kid.
