REALLY FAST

The local trails that never get old. DH3 was riding lekker 👌🏻

A breezy Saturday ride before the rain.

A wintry Constantia Nek and Kirstenbosch 👌🏻

The trail that never gets old when theres no wind 😍

Great weather for riding 👌🏻

Wintry one. Big fan of Greenbelts and Constantia Nek in winter.

Was kinda treacherous up at the Berms, Broken Road, Beast, Super Tubes (whatever you call it). There was a blown down tree in the path and loose rocks to add to the fun. It didn't detract from a great Friday ride though.

Misty one today.

Constantia Nek and Greenbelts for a change. Again surprisingly fun. Love pleasant winter conditions.

I spoke to the guy I handed it to at the picnic entrance today. Apparently the dude arrived in time, got his phone and was very relieved.

Nice Tokai ride - always enjoy the scenery on the contour in the pic 👌🏻 They've neatened up the entrance to DH3 (removed foliage) and smoothed out the last exit bit of DH2.

Car had a Stellies sticker. I handed it in to the place you pay at the picnic entrance. Was told it would go to the head office if the person didn't come back in time. His/her car wasn't there when I got back. Would be nice to know if the person got their phone in the end.

Tokai never gets old for me.

Cool waterfalls Today at Tokai 👌🏻

Drizzly one today

Today was a rare occasion where I rode to the Tokai trails instead of drove. Was good.

Technically yesterday - Tokai.

Good old Green Belts and Diep River Trails. Was suprisingly fun in the autumn evening air.

Lol

Roll the boulder and drop the drop I meant. Def rolling the boulder at the minimum. Will see how it goes. I ride full face when I do the dh's now so think my teeth would be intact. Heard a horror story about someone needing facial reconstructive surgery after a bail- motivated me to go full face.

Yeah that turn you're landing into looks a bit hectic - it definitely has my respect that DH1 drop. Roll the DH1 boulder and the DH2 drop - goals for next Tokai ride. A friend on I rode with on Wednesday told me Mamba has a new berm. I want to ride the Snake trails more aggressively as well - decisions decisions. Some more of my GP footage ^

The goal is to pump Beast to the max ,hit all the gnar parts and minimize riding in the centre of it as much as possible. Has become a habit going around it that boulder on DH1. I rode it Wednesday and thought to myself why aren't you rolling it . All but that drop towards the end have become flowy and comfortable now. I'm gonna roll the boulder next time. Been thinking about the drop on DH2 which I'm told is easy but scary cause you can't really see the landing from the take off, would do that before the drop at the end of DH1 I think. Nearly bailed hitting the big step down after the jump line on DH3 with not enough speed or pop/preload - that's also on the eventual to do list. I like the progression you see when you ride with a GoPro often. I got one bail on Cobra on GoPro. I was completely unscathed so think I was skillful there - the lack of speed also helped, might post that some time.

I've only heard it referred to as the Beast but think it can be called either. Beast sounds cooler than Broken Road though. I watch my footage and regret taking the safer/easier lines but I wanna progress without getting hurt if I can. Big fan of Beast, have hit it 3 or 4 times so far. I like that second drop - I wanna hit it faster. A week or so ago there were two big loose rocks lying on the edge of the second drop.
