Those pics are taken on the difficult line to that hill. The easy way is to approach from the left. I tried the difficult line and just did a big
wheelstand like Brad (which washes off all your speed). A nissan patrol made it up the difficult line, but none of the VW's did.
I made it up the easy line just fine (in my Baja), and easy made the easy line in the stock 1600cc Geko buggy.
A stock VW won't make it, but if you have big rear tyres you should get enough grip to make the easy tracks.

I am currently uploading my pics here, but I didn't take too many.
http://www.manxgallery.org/gallery/BBBBBQ06
It was a good day. The only car that needed to be towed by the tractor was Brad! The most trees hit was also Brad 
Terry almost got the closest to rolling over award, but then Mike M put the Geko on 2 wheels and balanced it there for a few seconds :P

mmmm
Well what can I say I had a great time and got to meet some new people. A big thanks to all those who made the effort to come out for the day and
have a play.
On a sour note though can the thieving mongrel who took my steering please return it so I don't hit so many trees next time ...

Really good day plenty of thrills and spills but i think that mike m should go for a job with the holden performance driving team with that 2 wheel
action
You only need two tools
Wd40 if it don't move and it should
Duct tape if it move's and it shouldn't

There were about 10 people with digital cameras, 3 people with video cameras. So there were probably 1000 photos taken on the day and probably around
4 hours of video and would you believe no-one caught the Geko stunt driving on 2 wheels.
:cry

Brad does it for the love of it
I think he needs traction control, so he doesn't shower everyone with dirt. And he needs ESC (electronic stability control) so he doesn't understeer
and hit trees on full boost. He did show how tough the COR bar work is though. :P

A HUGE thanks to Brad for several reasons.
a) Organising an event. Something more Manx Club members should consider doing (nudge nudge)
b) Letting us use his backyard for a great afternoon of offroad action.
c) Letting me borrow the Geko for the day. It was allot more fun then just walking the tracks. Thanks. I now have to schedule some time to give the
Geko some maintenance to make up for my abuse.
Full trip report can be found here:
http://www.manxclub.org/TripReport.asp?EventId=41
I'm looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

Cool vids
I think I make the hill look easy, and Brad makes it look hard
Did you get Andrew? He did the steeper entry the easiest, he did a nice wheelstand with a real smooth landing.
