wattup all... one more lil video from the weekend... This is Johan Potgieter (hope I spelled that right) hitting the steep n slippery rock chute on the track on Sunday... scarily quick, especially if you have ridden this thing yourself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wanff53Lxbw

tonnes of places man... check out here and ask the guys. they always seem keen for new people the downhill thread

Yeah, day was rad, just wish there were more photo's... I know there were guys who sem to have gotten some awesome pics of me, but to get hold of them /sigh... If anyone has pics of number 18C, lemme know

Hey all, here is a link to the Facebook page. There are a bunch o pics, but please post more if you have any George Downhill Page Cheers, Cuan

Nice nice frerichs91 Craig...yeah, you guys must def make a plan to come here sometime man We can session the track for the weekend. This past weekend was awesome, really stoked about it. A little sore, but that just means I had more fun, right? I think the winning time (Pottie) was around 3min 13sec or so...You should have seen him in the rock chute...will post a video later sometime of it I managed a 4min flat BUt had terrible line through sections and didn't try the fail jumps (from vid above) in the race run either. There should be a Facebook group going up where everyone can post pics n vids they took of the event, so will let ya guys know the link when it's up.

Hey guys, just 4 quick pics from today's session. Didn't get much time to take pics, but will upload more after tomorrow when I copy from the other guys Will upload a funny vid of me in the quarry section a bit later too ...and here it is soz for the bad vid tho, cam wasn't mounted too well this time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WAvC3Eud-I

Gonna have a rad session here in George with everyone today and tomorrow

http://www.easygadge...magicshine.html Bought mine here, great light MJ816 = R999 here...

How do the two different spoke configurations compare\differ in terms of wheel performance/durability/feel/etc?

Downhillking, I checked it this morning already Must be rad to just cruise like that

ah...that makes way more sense now

Man I can't orientate myself as to where that is...The big road doesn't look like Willow road...not straight enough

Baakens is fun, there are a few cool places, but ride in a group and go tubeless..there are bazillions of those devil thorns everywhere

Ye, lank dangerous...although I still go fishing there occasionally, but u usually have a bunch of fisher people there with you and then it's OK. But I think that track is the one on Willow Road going from Circular Drive to William Moffet?

hehehe Lookos fun ...that down there along Marine Drive by the Willows I guess? Or by Willow road? I'd be keen to ride Willow Road next weekend sometime maybe, whereabouts does the track start?

thats what i was thinking

There lank places in PE...lots in Sherwood, out behing OLD PnP by Rowellan Park, revamp the old track there by MOffet Park, tonnes o places in the Baakens, although it may not be a v long track. Then out Woodridge way there should be place, or Longmore, or even back end of Westering as well...Just need the ppl dedicated to help build How many PE DHillers ya guys know of? Craig82, you probably best to ask on this one?

Yeah, P.E. born n bread...and keen to go back...although there is pretty much nowhere to ride dh there ;( this track in George is pretty awesome though and we wanna build more too. You coming here this weekend for the social comp?

Hey bro, it's a Specialized Enduro Comp 2010 model. Actually an "all-mountain", but hey...that kinda makes it more fun The track is by Chromium (ex P.E., now JHB band) called Ex Amino (think thats spelled right). As for the course...hmmm...if you can do all 4 jumps and ride reasonable quick I think a little over 4 min, maybe a little less. I have never timed myself, but should have tonight... I think the top guys get around 3min15s or so...

Olympus Tough 8010. Takes 720p video, but it is not great when mounted on the handlebars (foam tape + cable ties make a decent mounting). The side view vid came out rather nicely though

Yeah, planning to...just want a lift to the top...Now that I'm on the flat pedals again it is a mission cycling up there

Ye Craig, that section of the course is smooth Well...a LOT of it is, but then there's a serious rock garden at the start and some heavily rooty places and a STEEEEEEP rock slope as well which can be scary coming into at speed

Specialized Enduro

lol yeah...but that literally was my first time hitting that ramp or anything that size...gotta step up for Saturday mos

shot bro was a quick job...will add more footage a lil l8r. it needs an intro and ending was pooping myself for that jump though
