For a little perspective for those of you that aren't familiar with this hill (it's actually pretty famous thanks to Easter Jeep Safari and the HUGE number of rollovers that have happened on it):

...anyway, you get the point...Alec wasn't kidding when he mentioned broken truck parts everywhere....this ain't no freakin' Hummer Happening...

You guys make this look too easy. Just amazing!

From the vids above I noticed a few things:
1. All of you seemed to drive straight up the "fall line" if the hill.
2. The Jeep guys seemed to drive across the fall line.
3. The Jeeps rolled, you didn't. It seems that driving straight up is the way to go. Across the fall line is a recipe for disaster.
4. That guy "Ed" from the vids has $hitty luck
5. If you have a Jeep don't attempt to drive Potato Salad Hill!
