Amazing Pike’s Peak video

13 July 2005 No Comment

I just came across a video called “Climb Dance” (1989). If you enjoyed Ronin or Bullit you’ll love this short film.

By far the most spectacular and hair curling car flick ever! Ari Vatanen climb’s Pike’s Peak in record breaking time.

For those that don’t know, Pike’s Peak is basically a pile of dirt and rocks which climbs to an altitude of 4500 metres. There is no pavement, no railing and the edge is a pretty decent sheer drop in parts. For years folks have been timing themselves whilst racing up it.

The best part is that at various points in the nail-biting trip Ari has to take one hand off the wheel to block out the setting sun. Yikes.

I didn’t bother linking to it as it’ll only rot. Try Google instead.
