Be sure to watch it in HD. Took my brother and I two days to climb the east face of Pikes Peak a few years ago. LOL..guess I should have rode along with this guy. Pretty cool product demo for GoPro HD too. I need one of those.

Holy bejeezus! eek

Those are some insane driving skills!


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

Yeah, got to love that section where he gives them all on the outside a gravel and dust shower.

When did they pave the upper section of road to the top. Have not drove that road since 83. Then
it was gravel the entire way. Mount Evan`s up near Denver is higher and paved the entire way. Also
noticed they installed a lot of new corner barricades. Used to watching the older videos of the
climb without them. No room for error.

I'm a skydiver and sometimes we have 3 or 4 of those, each mounted in someone's helmet. Few things compare to a sunset seen from up there...

We need Pikes Peak for Gran Turismo 5! That would have been excellent!
