A good few years back on Eurosport they use to show an annual hill climbing event that was mental.
It was open to serious people and what seemed to be pissed bikes on a run what you bring basis.

It was in Europe and it was in a place called.....

This is where i'm stuck. It sounds like rack ow (as in ow ya bastard that hurts.) but pronounced all one word rackow.

I've been trying for ages to find it and would love to go and watch.

If i find anything i will post because it's just insane.

Anyway thanks for any help.

Erzberg?

Although that's not strictly a hill climb, there's lots of big hills in it.

Edit : Just read the Racow bit, so not Erzberg.

There are plenty of 'normal 'hill climb events, been meaning to try one.
The place I did that 'trial for trail bikes' at were apparently going to be running one in Summer 09 as a 'bit of fun for normal bikes' kinda thing.

Brilliant, I can remember watching that, every year, on Eurosport. Thumbs Up

I still think that's the best motorsport event ever, not too serious and a fantastic spectacle, it must have been good even her indoors used to watch it!

Great TV but I wince every time you see one of the bikes tumbling back down the hill.

Do they still run that event, or has "elf n saftee" put the mockers on it?
