http://www.jross-video.com HEADING DOWN - Aggressive Pikes Peak Highway Drivers - Drive up Pikes Peak Part 18 High Definition - Pikes Peak is a 14115 foot mountain west of Colorado Springs, Colorado in El Paso County. It is named for Zebulon Pike, an explorer who led an expedition to the southern Colorado area in 1806. Drivers race up the mountain in a famous annual race called the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. The peak is also the site of the Pikes Peak Marathon and Ascent foot races on the Barr trail. The upper portion of Pikes Peak is a federally designated National Historic Landmark. The Pikes Peak highway is a 19 mile road which starts a few miles up Ute Pass at Cascade. A project to pave the road by 2012 is underway. No visit to the Pikes Peak region is complete without experiencing Pikes Peak - America's Mountain! From the gateway at 7,400 feet to the 14,110-foot summit, a safe, scenic highway provides you the opportunity to enjoy Pikes peak at your leisure. You will encounter some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world as you wind your way through an alpine wonderland of mountain reservoirs, beyond timberline, overtaking the clouds...all part of the 19-mile journey to the top. Stop in and pick up souvenirs at one of the gift shops. In addition to gifts, the Crystal Reservoir Gift Shop, just six miles up the road, offers sluice mining and interpretive opportunities during the summer. The Glen Cove Inn, at 13 miles, offers snacks and a comfortable seat on a rock by the stream at the bottom of one of the cirques on Pikes Peak. The Summit offers a grilled food menu and world-famous donuts. From the Summit, you'll thrill at the 360-degree panorama that includes the city of Colorado Springs, the eastern plains towards Kansas, the Continental Divide, and range upon range of snow-capped Rocky Mountains. The entrance to Pikes Peak -- America's Mountain is conveniently located 15 minutes west of Colorado Springs on Highway 24.

you should have let him by, any aware driver would pull over and let him go. you were crawling down that thing.

[jrossvideo]

@ATeFFT22 - Yes I slowed to 10 on the hairpen turns. There was no place to pull over.

[RomeoSierra011]

That car ever pass you?

[jrossvideo]

@RomeoSierra011 - That car backed off a couple of minutes later - perhaps he saw my daughter looking for his license number - I asked the brake check rangers to have a talk with him. There was no room for error and no place to pull over up there.

I understand that this is one of the most dangerous drives in North America, but going under 20 MPH down the whole road is a bit too slow. Just brake before corners, and get back on the power when you get out of the corners. Just don't do it too aggressively, just go about 25-35 MPH on the straights at least, and brake down to 10 MPH before you get to the corner.

Really? Get his license number? I supose next you're gonna run and tell your mommy too.

[kestkr]

@deadseed1989 you really think theyd hold a race during all of this regular commercial traffic of suvs? Calm down...that's a very steep decline. I wouldn't go that fast either

[woodzbeartex]

thats a fun and scary drive. Why rush up and done, YOu got to see the mountain not race people down.I hate people that blow their horns.

[deadseed1989]

Fuckin old people! Dont you realize that they hold races on pikes peak. not everyone that goes up there is a fuckin pussy and drives 10 miles an hour. pull yer fuckin honda over and let a mofuckin camaro or vette get by. stop holdin up people and stop acting like a fuckin cop. if you wanna be a cop and get people license plate numbers join a damn academy you fuckin piggy! Fuckin old people need to trade their drivers license for medical cannabis cards bud. Get the fuck outta colorado!

[iamgriff]

you are a typical "sheep" american, it's obvious you can't drive....and when someone else that CAN drive wants to go around...Fuck you buddy, and if they say something about it ...call the cops. But my guess is your phone didn't work up there. Stay out of Colorado ASSHOLE, We got enough tourists

[ATeFFT22]

minnesotagirl47, Have you ever driven up or down the Peak? The road is plenty big, there is room to put a blinker on and pull over, EVERYWHERE. I didnt expect the driver to go speeding down, but eliminate the problem by doing the big thing and let them by.

[minnesotagirl47]

@ATeFFT22 your'e a moron. CLASS A MORON. this person did the right thing by staying calm and driving at a safe speed!

[Dyslecixable]

Typical fucking retard driver, it's people like you make me wonder how people get a license these days

[rtviews]

one of these days, i'm going to get a reverse sign that says "REVO EVOM" and place it on my windshield.
