It was a long time coming and the moment has finally come upon us. Nobuhiro ‘Monster’ Tajima has smashed the 10 minute barrier up Pikes Peak with a blistering 9:51.278 run up the hill.
We’re going to say that this probably ranks up there with the greatest moments in sporting history and no amount of video or pictures could ever begin to even give a glimpse of the atmosphere and emotions during that moment. This is definitely one of those ‘you had to be there’ moments.
Still, that doesn’t mean that we don’t want some footage of the run up and considering that Monster Tajima’s primary sponsor is none other than GoPro, we’re betting there were enough cameras strapped to his Suzuki SX4 Hill Climb Special to shoot a feature length movie with.
The footage here though is from a camera mounted on top of the car, giving us front row seats to the fastest ascend up Pikes Peak. You might think that the bits of the video with the car on the tarmac has been sped up but we can assure you there was no editing to the speed of the video, that quick feeling is purely from the 910 horses.
