0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:24.480
<v Speaker 4>That doesn't even sound like that much, doesn't.

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:28.800

<v Speaker 3>When is a slope a hill?

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm questioning whether it is right to call this slope

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 2>an ingredient that we work on here in Richmond, Goodwood Street,

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.839
<v Speaker 2>just off Lennard Street. It is not strictly a hill

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:10.639
<v Speaker 2>somewhat quite a few of actually on. They used to

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 2>be a TV show in the eighties called Richmond Hill,

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 2>produced by reg Grundy Corporation.

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.240

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 3>Show in the world.

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.880

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 2>the post office.

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.800

<v Speaker 2>Anyway, Jack has been on the steepest hill in the world.

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 4>That's right. Since nineteen eighty seven. It has been Dunedian's

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 4>Baldwin Street. It was a street in San Francisco previously,

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 4>but now they hold the Guinness World Record for a

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 4>thirty five percent gradient.

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 3>And you've gone all the way up.

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.840
<v Speaker 4>It gone all the way up. It, yes, steep, very bad.

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 4>You'll notice, yeah street.

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 3>You yeah, you feed it. You really feel the legs burning.

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 3>Three calls the way up, Jason, Hi, how are you?

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm good? Jason? So you you're from Duneden.

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I was born here. My aunt he actually lived

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 5>on Baldwin Street.

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.679
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, what are the odds and we're talking about

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 2>it steep.

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.480
<v Speaker 5>She lived about the fifteen house, the fifteenth house up

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 5>and for me it still talk about half an hour

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 5>to get to a house.

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:14.359
<v Speaker 3>You had to take a couple of breaks and a breathe,

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:15.359
<v Speaker 3>you take a knee.

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah. Each each year they have an annual gut

0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 5>Buster race where you run up the hill and back

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:22.840
<v Speaker 5>down it.

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.280
<v Speaker 4>Running down the hill would be dangerous, but running up

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 4>the hills so long.

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.719
<v Speaker 5>They've got a hit of ambulances here for the people

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 5>that fall.

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I bet they have. Yeah, all right, Jason.

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 5>You also can't You also can't pack the car beside

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 5>the two facing up or down because the emergency barrick

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 5>might snap and you might lose your car.

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 3>Really have stopped rolling back down.

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 5>You have to pack diagonally because if you're part sideways

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 5>on a strong wind, you might flip the car.

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Now, that is a hill that's on this non hill, Richmond,

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:00.320
