I went to Europe one time and was watching TV. They had a place in Austria and had a huge hill with over a 1000 spectators at the bottom. Had a dozen rebel flags in the mix.You see more over there than here.But anyway, these European Rednecks would try to climb this imposible hill on all kinds of contraptions with 1-5 drunks in each . They would get 1/2 way up and flip and tumble all the way back down slinging di@&eads out in to the air as it tumbled and back into the crowd. The crowd was having a blast and cuttin up like we 've never seen over here.Sometimes you thought this wierd Panzerwagen lookin thing was actually going to make it , and you could see the OH NO! in their eyes as they were starting to go end over end. Their vehicles decentegrated as they went thru the crowd slinging drunks thru the sky.Those kids were beat but they had a lot to laugh about when they got out of traction.I beat the motel furniture to a pulp and hollared laughing for hours.The place was called Rachau Austria.We could never do that here but imagine the money they are charging.

Looks like a bunch of buttheads to me.

From wikipedia:

"From 1995 to 2004 Rachau had hosted a hillclimbing event. This had the objective that riders on motorbikes and also quadbikes and even the occasional car or converted jetski / snowmobile had attempted to ride up as far up the hillside as possible without falling off the bike (with the rider reaching the farthest distance winning the event). This was televised across Europe on Eurosport and had attracted a trackside audience of 10,000 to 30,000 people. It also had sponsorship from the energy drink Red Bull."

Looks like they had those damn EMPI coilovers:
