I'm not Glenn (clearly).

I think if you could get to where you were photographing from the side of the hill, that might help a little. Also, if you could use a telephoto to get a tighter crop, that might help. If you could do some panning which would motion blur the background, but keep them in focus that would probably make the photos seem a lot more dynamic.

Most photos of hills seem to make them seem less extreme. Take a look at photos of olympic ski jumps, they don't seem that big or steep or crazy in most photos.
