BILLINGS - In true Hill Climb fashion, dirt bike riders wowed hundreds Saturday at the Billings Motorcycle Club.

Approximately 600 hopefuls faced a real uphill battle as they tried to overcome nearly 90% inclines. Only a few skilled riders were able to make it all the way to the top, but all achieved to please the onlookers.

Billings resident Connor Sarmiento says, in his opinion, this was one of the best shows of the summer. The event will close Sunday, when finalists take on the hill and the competition, for the $50,000 purse.

I think all those hillclimbers are gay. Why else would they put in so much effort to climb to the top of the hill to win a purse.I hope it matches their outfit after they win it.
