Default Steep Hill Claims Victim

Sometimes when you have your family rooting you on, you feel like putting on a little display of your hill skill. Sadly for this guy, things don't go as he expected.

I wonder what score the Olympic judges would give him for his dismount? I used to really like hill climbs but didn't like having to come back down. Uphill always seemed easier to me.

If in 4wd the trick is to goose the throttle if you feel the quad starting to tip like that. Counter-intuitive feeling though.

My instincts would probably be something like, AHH! BRAKE!, right before my face plant.
