Motorcycle Hill Climb in Oregon City #2 - 1920

A rider struggles to stay upright in this image by Oregon City photographer Ralph Eddy taken at an April race in his home town. Spectators line up along a wood fence to follow the action.

By 1920, films and cameras were fast enough to capture the dirt flying as the bike accelerated its way up the hill.
