Riding Motorcycles Up Steep Hill (1920-1929)

Riding motorcycles up steep hill. Canada. Group of motorcycle enthusiasts in Canada riding motorcycles or dirt bikes in a cleared part of a hollow in the middle of a forest. They each ride a short distance down a slope into the hollow to get some momentum; then up the other side; a long steep; bumpy hill. Shots from nearly every possible angle: bikes starting down small slope; bikes approaching; coming up hill; shots from below of bikes heading away up the hill; bikes going up hill & disappearing over top; shots from top of hill looking down at bikes coming up; shots of bikes appearing over hilltop; shots from the side of bikes zooming up the hill. Some of the bikes bounce up; sending clumps of dirt flying. Others struggle to make it all the way; & sometimes they don’t; every time a motorcycle tips over or runs out of energy; some other guys run over to help move it out of the way. There are c. 50 young men present; not all riding at the same time; some watch from top of hill or sit on hillside watchin
