(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em> The event that most people look forward to at Gravelrama 2015 has a cool name\u00a0\u2013 the Big Eliminator Hill.\u00a0 It\u2019s a massive pile of un-compacted pea gravel the rigs not only attempt to scale, but also do it quicker than everyone else in their respective classes.\u00a0 Each vehicle runs the hill three times in each class with the first and last runs starting at the bottom and the middle run is started from the middle.\u00a0 Sometimes just getting to and leaving the starting line can be a challenge.\u00a0 Just hammering the throttle when you are given the go signal doesn\u2019t seem to work often.\u00a0 There is some finesse to successfully reaching and clearing the summit.\u00a0 Many of the more low-slung rides will actually get caught at the top.\u00a0 What you really want to avoid is flying over the top because the backside is steep as well.\u00a0 It was our first time shooting photos ON THE HILL and it seemed a bit intimidating at first.\u00a0 You\u2019ll see as the competition rolled on we got a little more\u00a0 bold in our filming position, but still didn\u2019t get too crazy.<\/p>\n

This first gallery is the staging lanes and the start of our action photos from the charge up the hill.\u00a0 The rest of our coverage for Gravelrama is all action.\u00a0 Promise.<\/p>\n

Enjoy.<\/p>\n
