Hopefully see someone there! haha! it's a pleasure But hey... if you head down towards Bryanston side, you may very well spot me doing some shovel work on the 'bomb-hole' (right by Old Parks).

nello Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Anyone keen to join me? Wouldn't mind a partner or 2! Meet round about 8am to do about 3 hours...howzit Nic, 2 quick questions how far do you intend riding roughly and where is Fratelli's shot Nello
Nic0000 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Posted July 8, 2011 Okay so I'm not that noob but what's "shovel work" , "the bomb hole" and where's old parks?
TheV Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Hey Nic - 99.9% sure I'll be there! Let's hope for a bit of sun and nicer weather although I cannot imagine it could be as cold as my ride this past Monday in dulstroom
Thumper Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Okay so I'm not that noob but what's "shovel work" , "the bomb hole" and where's old parks?"Shovel work" refers to the guys digging a new jump out or general maintenance of an existing jump.The bomb hole is a nice little jump just after you cross over Jan Smuts when heading north. Best hit flat out on a ridgid single speed

Best hit flat out on a ridgid single speed haha spot on... except that the bombhole isn't so little anymore... 4m gap, launches one 2m high easily if one boosts... it's rather fun now that it has a landing... but still a lot tamer than the DHL line
patches Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Nic0000, here's a pic of me at the bombhole (looking up towards Jan Smuts side) We've added a landing approx. where the red arrow is. Although the addition of a landing turned it into a 4m gap jump, it's now safer because riders aren't landing to flat, so can now boost way higher than depicted here. So yeah, I'm sure you're recognize this spot on the Spruit. As for Old Parks, it's the sports grounds up the embankment on the right of this pic Edited July 8, 2011 by patches
TheV Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Hey Nic, confirmed see you at 8. Just want to confirm, which Fratelli's we are meeting at? It seems there are about 3 on google... Green side, Jan Smuts or Randburg?
Nic0000 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Posted July 9, 2011 Umm I think its the one just off that side road on jansmuts. Overlooks the spruit.
TheV Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 No probes, see u soon! Figured it out using Google Earth!
