Koontz Series "Pheasants Run" Race

[Pappy]

Exriders member MotoX33 (Jonathan Sheets) looked good again this weekend and wanted another win in B class!

This 250R rider makes his way up this hill, which will seem very ..very small compared to the quad eating hill located a few more miles into this track

[Pappy]

And here is that very hill with rider Brandon Sturdivant make his attempt! I can say that I doubt my pictures will do the hill justice. It wasnt the steepest hill ive seen, but when compined with super slick mud from bottom to top...roots and rut s and a killer offcamber at the top it desereved my attention!

[Pappy]

At first i didnt think much of the hill, other then it was steep and fairly long. But the 100+ spectators lining the sides was a big clue that this was the place to be!

Brent S. cracks the throttle on his R and heads to the top

[Pappy]

Riders had a myriad of lines to chose from. there were atleast 3 main lines into the hill and at the top 4 or so lines to navigate

[Pappy]

This rider eyeballs the top of the hill as he makes an attempt

[Pappy]

All types of attempts were made, from full throttle to clutch work...each worked..sometimes

[Pappy]

The YFZ's are good climbers and would be my choice for this hill

[Pappy]

From what I could tell, you couldnt hit the hill with alot of throttle. The ground was too slick and thos riders that tried that ended up just sitting still!
