Go Earthed 3 style and add a propeller into the equation?

Well, 1:6 isn't steep at all then. We have a 1:3 around here. And a shag load of 1:4's

So if a 1:3 is 33%.. and 1:4 is 25% (like the one here), thats quite a huge difference in %age. I'd like to see that too, the 25% one just seems ridiculous, let alone 33%

The joys of living round whitby.

It's the hill leading down to robbing hoods bay if anyones been there. One of our icecream vans got stuck down there.

That's suposed to be 1:3 at the steapest.

There's a 1:3 going down to a village somehere on the moors, ah good old MTB'in days.

And come to think of it the paths down to the seawall can't be far off 30%. No wonder 1:6 seems level.

Ha ha, i've been down there a couple of years ago when i was on holiday. Trust me that is a mad steep hill, simlar to some of the ones in lyme regis. We also went there for the rest of the holiday... all i can say is walking up these things kills you, walking down them seems to be like uncontrollable running even if you try to walk so i can't even begin to imagine what riding down one would be like.

EDIT: Wayne have you looked at the mbuk issue where one of the guys gets towed through the moors on his dh rig by a porsche? I'll try and get the article on the pc so you can have some inspiration, and to see how they mounted the rope to the bike

The last time i had a computer on my bike was when i was between 7 and 9.

I hit 21mph down my lil cul-de-sac which was flat, but i had about 20meters of 13% incline to help at the start.

That was on a 20" Raleigh Max Extreme.

I think i win the coolness prize
