Do you think that that guy hanging off the front was actually necessary? Its hard to tell in videos, but that hill was pretty straight up and down.

Absolutely. I started taking the vdieo after he had attempted twice, but his front tires would slip and he would fall back. Once the spotter climbed up and leaned back, it was just enough traction. There is an 6-8 foot vertical section on that descent/climb, that's why they call it "Pucker Hill". First time I did it, I white-knuckled.
