Default Extreme Huffy downhill racer.

Fun fabrication project. We welded two Huffy 10-speeds together, and went down a steep hill.


Cops showed up too.

Man, I looked around, I don't have a lot of pics of that... WTH? Here's the day we got it out of paint before the bumper stuff. Pre-runner fiberglass fenders and box sides, cowl hood, beadlocks. Got some style.

pffft... there aren't an hills. That's it, our "hill" so to speak. We actually do have one hill that's pushing 5% grade for the same distance. IT, ends, directly onto the highway at a 90 degree angle. It has occurred to me to beef up the brakes and have a go... But there is a pretty big down side to that one. But it is steeper! I think I could hit a proper top speed and still slow to a stop at the bottom. possibly.

We have one other hill, about 19 miles from here that comes down the face of the dam near the power houses, to HARD corners in it. That beast is 8-10% grade. Nearly impossible to bicycle up it, Tour-de-France steep. But the corners and curbs at the bottom. I wouldn't do it on this one. I might try it on kart tires though.
