  1. Yo Cap. My pleasure!!! Rode "your" track last week and totally loved it! After my first run i found your building tools, and after thinking about it, added the small berm and fixed up the little drop off! Hope its cool! Would of lugged some of those rocks around for you , but wasnt sure what your plan was there.... You building a berm into the drop off/ unfinished route... or a jump continuing into the straightway section where the little drop is? Think it would be cool if there was more flowy sections! Next time im there, will look into a possible route after the unridden drop is... linking back onto your current trail b4 SH3... Hard to explain, im sure you understand tho! I bailed pretty hard on my 2nd run! Ate gravel on the "road gap" between SH2 and SH3!!! Bottomed out on the fire road and went straight into a tree! Survived tho! Both the bike and me had some scrapes but all was good! Whats your plan on SH1? Couldnt find any signs of a route there, instead just followed the Fire road round signal hill till i got to the SH2 section... Pretty fast on the top bit! Reached 50km there, but sketched out cos theres a pretty HUUGE and scary drop off to the left! Also really like the hump to drop b4 the end of SH3 pretty scary when hitting it hard, as you cant see your landing at all and just gotta pray you get the right line! All in all, a worthwhile peace of trail development! Well done on the initiative! Look forward to riding/ and Building there soon!

  5. Currently im NOT dropping off the nice big wooden structure... the line to get to it is trick and im losing speed. Think id prob end up going straight over the bars if i tried... This sections pretty high. Alot bigger than it looks.. Cap Im always keen. MAybe this friday? I live down the road! yeah!! I can show you what im thinking.. the trail is there already except for about 20m linking the main section in the forest to the more flowy single track leading to the jumps.
  6. Guys, just rediscovered an awesome section for Some DH and free ride! Theres an awesome trail Near the quarry on table mountain, just above Higgovale. I was there today, built a sweet jump/ drop off over a fallen tree and then straight into a pretty big drop! There's tons of potential there, and its pretty safe. Im gonna go back there and add more jumps and some berms. Was pretty stoked! From not being able to stick the line to the Big drop, I decided the best and fastest route would be to build a jump over the tree that was intially in the way! And after a few tries I was able to do both jumps! Im gonna post some pics right now!
  7. Oh, both bike shops are on bree st. I just went there as they were closest, and i couldnt pedal... the good one was also part of THULE racks i think. I put their sticker on my helmet for their assistance!
  8. Heres my predicament,I really want to enter. I have no problem with racing, infact i used to race DH skateboarding and even got a 2nd place at Nationals. So i think it would be awesome! BUT.... My girlfriend and I are going away to france for a month an leaving in 18 days. We are doing a cool long distance cycle trek over a couple days!! She has two concerns, one; if i brake an arm or leg or injure myself Im not going to be able to do the trip... And 2 we only have 3 weekends left before we go and need to get alot done before we leave.... So im stick between a rock and a hard place!! Ive told her its safe and mellow, and i wont push myself, and it will be fun for her to spectate...alas to no avail.... Well I'll see what i can do. Maybe come spectate, take some photos on the sunday.
  9. Also quite impressed with Revolution cycles i rolled into the Shop explained my situation, had no money on me, asked if they could do me a favour... and they were more than happy to help me out, spent about 30 mins looking for the screw (the ones they had were too short..) But in the end was a good enough job to get me on my way. Was first at the "other" LBS on the same road and got zero love from them.. Found the guy there to be a di*k. Wasnt friendly. Just wanted cash.. and i normally use them... Not any more. Plus they're a rip off. Haha i know this isnt on topic. Let me have my rant! lol
  10. Wow im super tempted! But at the moment my bike is falling apart!@ Went to try do the Signal hill track and did the first part of the jeep track into the forest only to realize i lost one of the derailer cogs! Spent an hour searching for it but no luck... I didnt even get to see any of the "potential" trail....
  11. Id love too, Unfortunately Im not prepared for a full on DH event... yet! Still along way to go before im ready AND more importantly i can trust my bike 100%... shes a bit of a clunker! Im going to take a ride to Signals tomorrow morning. Have a few hits and push-ups. Then might go into town to see if i can get my brakes bled... Any reconmendations for cheap/good/while you wait brake bleeding? I find most of the shops arent too friendly...
  12. Hell YeaH!!! Just got a full face MX helmet for R169!!!!!!! BRAND NEW!!!! Its Not bad and a sweet deal for the price! Not too heavy either! 1290g Also got some full finger mx gloves for super cheap So much stuff for MX is soooo much cheaper than DH... F*** me. Cant wait to bomb some hills! Crash into some trees! And do some road gaps too!! hehe
  13. NIce! Looks like i need to go explore that area! would be sweet if i had one of those compact folding spades! I could stuff it in my back pack and ride around all day and use it when i wanted...
  14. The image above looks like it could be cool? Dunno how close i got to detailing the route capricorn.. I kinda lost you "once you hit the tree line".. Whats the status on building there? Is the possibility of a R500 fine a reality? loveme.DH/FR2010-05-20 13:27:38

  16. Cap - Please could you upload a google earth image with the trails, that would be awesome! Im gonna have a look asap! Ill bring a spade too! More trails available the better for the sport! HAving looked at google earth, i see quite a few sweet looking single track lines above Bokaap! Unfortunately cant do anything this weekend... Got a farewell and a birthday party... That little jump is right at the end of Boomslang, i think... Had a run on mamba too, but it wasnt too fun, as the trail wasnt obvious and i kept losing it! Was my first time at Tokai! was pretty cool! Felt like a bit of a dork tho- Feels lame doing downhill with a XC style helmet! haha!
  17. CAP- Ahh cool! Sounds like fun! Missed it today! went climbing. Im not that good so you would prob get super bored, haha! Although i did a little jump at tokai last Sunday! The Blur on the right is me! haha. Im gonna try hit the Signal hill trail later next week! After work mission. Ill put a post up or PM you when I know!http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-sjc1/hs553.snc3/30245_431473415258_537090258_6000513_5793244_n.jpg
  18. Hey Capricon, Where about are these trails on signal hill? I presume they run into CBD side. Would i be able to find them if i started at The Top parking lot and rode down, and take the first left onto the jeep track? Is there anything else i could look at that side? MAybe add a few metres on to your jump?
  19. we need more girls in DH full stop! Came on just to say been watching ROAM and SEASONS dvds (Totally LOVE SEASONS!) But i noticed in both DVDs there wasnt a single female rider!? I would actually enjoy it if there were some chicks in these vids! Any way, totally loving Seasons, it gets me so amped. Prefer it over ROAM.. Yay YAy! haha My brakes arrive tomorow!
  20. sorry boyz! OSX! The only way to fly!!!! Hahaa! Im busy doing a rebuild! Almost ready to start hitting hills on my first Dual suspension! YAY!!!! I decided to get myself a "used and abused" Frame and get serious about DH/FR! So amped to hit all those hills i was banging on my old hardtail!! Ill post b4 and after pics on here asap!! Hope everyone had some good riding...
