Think it was only built a day or so ago after the Spruit Fairy had cut up the tree which had fallen across the previous gap during the rains. I haven't seen it yet though...
As per Maxxis. Only record fun bits of downhill trail, jumps etc. I stop the recording so try not to get any junk footage of riding/pushing back up. Friend of mine does editing...
Hope the dude recovers soon. That 'table' has been there forever and has claimed many skin donors. It's actually just a hump in the ground and the trail rolls over it. Like to see anyone take that down as it would bring down those large bluegum trees supported there.
The wife carries a first aid kit that has most things you need in her Camelbak. I just carry a mertholiate spray for cuts and scrapes. On topic though, the last time we were at Hakahana she stopped to help some poor dude riding the rocky downhill on his jump bike. She had to plug a number of cuts in his tyres.
I'm not sure how you ride past someone stranded with their bike? Even driving past in a car I would offer assistance. Maybe she should stop riding in Boksburg...
A double right up at the top by the school before the elevated switchback takes you into a berm and up the bank. Think it should be longer... And a log gap after the tree line which seems to disappear and get rebuilt (badly unfortunately) on a weekly basis.
And there is a lot of crime down there. My dad stays in a townhouse on the river near the Grayston bridge and they have 24hr patrols, double fences with guard dogs etc to keep crime out - and they still get in.
Hope has one of the easiest hubs to switch between different axles. Basically pull off / push on the adapters with your fingers. Only the 20mm TA has a circlip which you need to remove first.
Huh??? I don't think this thread is referring to hitting major gap jumps. You can hop any bike dude. In fact it's easier on a hardtail. I've managed to teach a number of people on most types of bikes. Edit: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/132462-my-first-bunnylog-hop-stoked/
You have to know where to look on the Spruit. Fun stuff is mostly off the main lines. As for events, there are some new cool things happening on the #Enduro side. Keep your ear to the ground for Waterval Boven, Hakahana, Van Gaalens and Swampdog Farm enduros.
Speed is your friend. I was almost landing it flat when giving it horns. Even medium speed with some technique gets you over. Some hard braking for the next corner though...
