Hey this is for all of you raptor guys. How does the raptor do in hill climbing on really steep long hills? I am talking about hills like in Pa not sand dunes. Does it climb better than 2 strokes? It looks pretty sweet.

Mine has climbed everything that I have pointed it at with ease. This past weekend I was climbing a coal/slag bank. The bank was at least 200 feet long. The bottom was pretty steep and the last third was very steep (probably around a 60+ degree angle). I was hitting the bank pretty hard in 2nd and sometimes 3rd without having to gear down. Only bad part about climbing is when you don't make it to the top on the really loose steep stuff. I usually pick my hills wisely.

I ride up big murph and little murph. I haven't seen dirty hairy yet but heard it was big. I watch my cousins climb back in near Cooney's coal mine. The climb hills back in the woods like heartbreak and suicide. Ever hear of those hills?
