I think the biggest I've seen are what others have posted about elsewhere on this forum, referencing the Cinders in AZ. Check this link out (there are videos in several of the postings)...

i climbed what appeared to be a 150 ft hill at a 70 degree angle, spinning all the way up, it was very scary cause trees were on both sides of me at the top not letting me turn if i lost all my speed. I only had a 10 ft run and then it curved between two trees and then straight up it went, sportyroxx climbed it on his vforce as well.

some people i know own twister crankshafts and they have done some awsome hill climbs easily 150 feet. they were the first people to make a three cylinder banshee. that is one sick ride. they made the frame and everything.

We have a hill around here called Kong. Every year there is a truck rally hosted there and modiffied trucks try and climb it. It is probably around 150-175 feet, straight up. Not only is it really steep but you only have 30 feet to run off. The last 5 feet of the hill is vertical.

we have one hill here left over from some strip mining thats about 100 to 125 ft. i'm sure there are several on here that could make it but i'm not one of them. i made it about 3/4 way and the tires started spinning and i couldn't get traction. i didnt want to try and turn around or slide down backwards so i let it roll against some small pine trees then we got a truck at the top to winch it up. call me a wuss if you want but i didn't break any of my old bones. when i went to go down the hill to the quad with the winch line i did slip and slid all the way to the bottom and had to climb back up the other side. the next trip down i hooked the winch line around me. now give me a break, i'm not as young as some of you.
