Stumbled across this and thought some would enjoy it. I know a few guys racing in the video, Cal Bottcher, Peter Bueckert, saw old Stan Donald in the back ground. Mike Irman on a Doo, Vinne Clarke on a Cat. Cool video.

Pretty kool. The last 2 little jumps at top sure caused for some blooper reel shots!!
Hats off to those riders. Hopefully they are still able to walk now after that torture test.

Is there something similar to this that is still an annual thing that exists (aside from all the COVID delays we have seen from the past 2 years) like how they used to do BIS in revy? Although that seemed for less sanctioned than the silver star hillclimb comps. Would be a fun event to attend

I think the closest thing running in Canada was yamafest but that was pre covid. There was a group that got a hillclimb circuit going a few years ago but it was short lived for some reason. WCHA I think? He was on here as well.

Vernon Hill Climb is about the only thing close to us now. I think it was cancelled last year because of Covid. Our own Maxwell is a competitor every year
Of course, I finally get my life together and the world goes to crap. Hopefully get to see one day infamous event

Been there several times Ken back when I used to fly into Jackson every couple of weeks.
It is long, steep and wild. Gotta see it in person to appreciate.
The entire Silver Star climb is equivalent to the bottom third of Snow King that you see on video before it gets steep.
