I've been looking for some hill climb videos.
I found this one, but this Harley didn't make
it to the top.

Hillclimb movies from the 70's:

There is a hill climb segment in the documentary/artsy-type film from 1970 by the title of "On Any Sunday". It was produced by Bruce Brown and (I think) is available on DVD. Covers all segments of motorcycling.

Thanks LAMing! I remember seeing the movie, “On Any Sunday”
when it first came out. I’ll have to get the DVD, since I haven’t seen
it in years. “On Any Sunday” inspired me to try some of the things that
they were doing in the movie, mainly hill climbing.

I'm pretty sure there's a "On Any Sunday 2" movie, that came out about
10 or 15 years after the original. I can't remember which one had the
segment on hill climbs.

Was that a hill or a 1/4 mile inclined drag strip?

Here's a photo of the same 400 foot hill,
taken from about 220 feet. It's steep!
