Moto guys, off-road guys, whatever you ride, I got a challenge for you. I want to see you run a hillclimb, yes, that's right, I want you to run a hillclimb. I want you to cut the abilical cord to the track or trail, and try something you never have before. I want you to give it a serious shot and see if you can take it to the top guys in hillclimb, there's a stock length 450 verticross class just for you Moto guys, so let's see how you stack up. Off-road guys, the enduro climb is for you, so let's see how your Endurocross skills combine with your hilllclimb skills.
In both classes you'll be running against only one other person at a time, and all that matters is you get to the top first, what happens in between is up to you. A lot of riders don't consider hillclimb to be a serious discipline, and the number one way to get people convinced is to have them try it for themselves. In order to make it more accessible to the average rider, these two stock length Motoclimb classes have been added, so no need to buy extensions or modify your bike in any way, just run what ya got! Who knows, if it's as easy as it looks to a lot of people you might walk away with some serious cash. . .
Here's the flyer, no excuses for the local guys, let's make this big and show some people what motoclimb is all about! I'd love to see some new guys out there and introduce them to a type of riding that often gets overlooked, so load up your Moto/enduro bike and give it a go.

Any Enduroclimb examples (with man made obstacles) on the net Josh? Do they do this in Europe?

This is how the course will be lauded out, should make for some awesome bar banging opportunities as well as some good racing all the way up to the top.

For anyone intimidated to give it a try, don't forget there is also the regular 450 verticross, where you won't have logs or tires to contend with. Think of it this way, I'm betting you were a little apprehensive and unsure about getting on a Moto track for the first time, right? Well, imagine if you'd given up before you even tried it, all of us here would have missed out on a lot. There are also amateur stock length classes on Sunday for those who want to try a bit of a tamer hill, and get their feet wet slowly.
As I said, don't write it off, it's something new to try and I'm willing to bet anyone who does will absolutely not regret it.

The stock length 450 class in the first video is what people can expect if they decide to give it a go, just with a more traditional hill. If anyone is up for the challenge I'll be more than happy to help them through the process at the races and get a feel for what to expect for the day.
Here is a map of the course for the upcoming race:
