Samson is conquered on a KNOBBY TIRE. This hill is far worse then the video depicts. I made it four days prior on a Paddle Tire. If you study the top of the hill at the end, you will see my track from my first attempt just a few minutes earlier. I lost traction towards the top and it was like ice. I decided to drop the pressure a few pounds and use third gear to gain more momentum at the bottom so I could back off towards the top. See original Samson for more information.

    I live near Lancaster, Pa.This hill is five minutes from my house. Don

  • @Kingtrevorton Where is there hill located at? I live in PA and would love to try it! I have an rmz 450 and a ktm 350sxf.

  • Very nice work. The other vid of you doing this hill with the paddle doesn't really show how steep it is. This vid definitely does.

  • @rufusz Yes, no problem starting in third. I did not shift. Very short run before the hill starts. KTM 525 has a lot of low rpm power.

  • You started in 3rd gear and slipped the clutch a few feet (with throttle pinned) ?
