haha! it's a pleasure :lol:

 

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).

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

"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 :blink:

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 ;)

Nic0000, here's a pic of me at the bombhole

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

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?
