Polaris Sportsman 800 steep uphill

I have been up this trail several times before but this time it gave me a problem about half way up. There was a boulder that took me about three times to get the proper line around. It almost tipped on me, but I managed to save it. The video doesn't to the angle of the hill any justice, it was just plain steep!

@cameronj11331 I don't have the ATV anymore. But yes, those are the tires. 8" up front and 11" in the rear, 14" rims. :-)

how do you like it???

[sheepdogMSP8117]

Great machine, a bit on the heavy side. The only thing on it thats caused me a problem is the front diff input shaft seal. Not bad when you consider the amount of abuse these things can handle.

I have the same problem filming hill climbs, never looks as steap as it rilly is, I think because the camera is above the rider, im gunna try new angles as well.

Exactly, that hill was steep as you know what.....but probably only a 30 degree climb. I love it when guys say they climb 75 degree hills without a problem.....LOL!!!!

Good stuff. I go up something similiar to that on my Blaster... I take a beating. Saving up for a Polaris and should have one by spring hopefully I can get up where I go without giving myself a heart attack like I do on the Blaster.

You didnt have to keep backing up, just hit that left side and keep going, the sportsman is 4x4 for a reason. heh
