nigelhicks Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Hey guys Rode majick forest yesterday pm - hiked to the top and rode the black trail down - that top little rock drop is awesome! BUT the main question ... when you are back down at the low beacon and start the lower trail with all the switchbacks ... you come out of the switches and ride a fast straightaway with a couple of small doubles on the left of the trail... then hit a right turn over a pallet and there is a bridge in front of you over a little gully. Has anyone cleared the gully by hitting the line just to the left of the bridge? Came into it yesterday on my 2nd run down and it seems very do-able if you have your seat down - I nearly went for it on my trail bike with seat up! OH also nearly died just below that on the little canyon gap! came in hot and had to slam on brakes as i didnt know it was there! hahaha sick little trails though. Oh and there was some dude near the top in the woops building a new jump line with berms etc - looks fun!
Eddy Gordo Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 cool, I havent been there in a while, will have to go check it out soon
Capricorn Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) they havent maintained that line over the gap on the left of the bridge, in a while Nigel. If u stomp the grass down, you'll see the old lip. but it's pretty fun boosting the bridge. becomes something of a ski jumpCanyon gap?, you hook left or right after that left hand berm?

nigelhicks Posted May 31, 2011 Author Posted May 31, 2011 Canyon gap?, you hook left or right after that left hand berm? You come over the wooden bridge in the open ... into the trees you have a left berm -off a root drop - then the signs indicate that the track goes off a small bank but theres a left line with a double and then a canyon gap! As you land off the gap you join the lower trail again! Sick section - was going to hit it all this week - but with this weather ...
Capricorn Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 yep. know the line you speak of, just didn tknow it had a name or two BUt yes, that bottom section is pretty fun. Just hope this weather clears up before the shuttle at Contermanskloof this weekend. You gonna pitch nigel?
nigelhicks Posted June 2, 2011 Author Posted June 2, 2011 negative ghostrider! I unfortunately fly home tomorrow (Friday) - but i shall return to take on more trails in the town of the cape!
