I'd say the pics do it justice. That looks like suicide, especially
doing it without a helmet! -glares-

it may look steep in the pics, but i'd bet it looks steeper in real
life, i have had similar situations like this and the hill defiantly
seems steeper in real life.

Thats what I'm saying though, doing a unispin on flat ground and riding
down a 80 degree slope are entirely different. I always wear a helmet
when I muni.

wow... reading what i said makes it seem as though i think they aren't
steep. i didnt mean that. they do look steep i just think that they
would seem even steeper in real life

Wow that is cool. It looks very similiar to the old (unused for about 5
years now.) garbage mounds that every major city has in Isreal. These
old garbage mounds have been covered in dirt and are usually a few
miles outside of every major ciry in Israel. They have very steep
slopes. Very good for downhill.

They're some steep hills here in Sydney too. One of the big hills here
makes you think you're on top of the world or so to speak. 😄

I hate going down steep hills like that (well probably not as steep as
yours but...), you ride forwards at the top and can't see the ground!

Until you get to it and find yourself pedalling like mad (on a 20"😉
anyway :eek:

Wow, that's steep! It looks really steep in the pics - and it's always
worse when you actually ride it.

There's a steep hill (though not quite that steep - or as high) that I
sometimes play on near my office. Doing it on a 29er is quite hairy
but as long as I keep my nerve I can make it down. It does help to use
the brake, however that has a little problem 😉 I have to yank the
brake really hard for it to resist the slope. And because it's so
scary, I always forget to let go at the end where the slope suddenly
flattens out onto tarmac. Trouble is, I can scoot down the steep part
fine - but then catapult off the front of the uni when I hit the flat
:o

Steep hills terrify me, but it's always fun to fall and end up 40+ feet
from your unicycle 🙂

I love really stupidly steep hills! If you don't think you can ride it
you can just lean back and bail, thats one advantage of unicycles. On a
bike you are pretty much commited once you go over the edge.

I find steep hills terrifying; especially the ones which appear to start
like a gentle descent but gradually get steeper and steeper,
involuntarily commiting you to riding it out.

I encountered a horrible one on my 29er ride yesterday, when I diverted
from the South Downs Way to explore a maze of forest tracks. Ahead of
me was a track gently sloping downhill, unbeknownst to me it slowly got
steeper and steeper over the course of about 5 minutes, until it got to
about a 35 degree angle to which I had to yank on my V-brake fully to
come to a stop and get off the back as I just got too scared.

I walked it out to the bottom and barely started to walk the uphill
that followed when I looked back, the track looked almost vertical!

It's not always "fun", I can tell you.
