Thumper Posted July 8, 2011 Share 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 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted July 8, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
