The bounty hill at most off-road parks these days is just one more tough obstacle to try to conquer. But if you’re part of the Southern Rock Bouncing community, the bounty hill holds a whole different meaning. After all, racing for cash laid out on the ground at the base of the “bounty hill” was how some say rock bouncing got its start. Check out this age-old tradition in the MadRam11 video above!

Whether you’re from the hills of the South, deserts of the West, or the more humid climates of the North and East, if you’ve ever taken your rig out to an off-road park, chances are you’ve encountered at least one bounty hill in your life. But while this menacing obstacle may only be a teeth-grinding obstacle in some places, its a chance for some serious cash in Southern Rock Bouncing territory.

The name of the game is simple: spectators and competitors alike throw down cash at the base of the bounty hill. Drivers then compete to see who can get their rig up the bounty hill first. The competitor that accomplishes this walks away with a pocket full of cash.

This particular bounty hill is at Flat Nasty Offroad Park in Jadwin, Missouri, where the Southern Rock Racing Series (SRRS) held their second event of the season on May 23rd and 24th. The original bounty up for grabs was $1,000, but with Tripp Pullen pumping up the crowd, spectators threw down an extra $1,100 to go to the winner.

Though great competitors like Tim Cameron, Matt Brinker, John McDonald, and Bobby Tanner all took their turns on the bounty hill, no one was able to make it all the way to the top.

With no one collecting the money from the competition, $2,100 now rolls over to the pot for the next bounty hill competition at Flat Nasty.

The next event for the SRRS will be held June 28th at Rush Offroad Park in Rush, Kentucky. Be sure to check it out if you’re in the area and possibly see another “unclimable” bounty hill!
