patches Posted July 26, 2011 Share Body armor probably would not have helped your collar bone. It's uses are mainly abrasion prevention and light impact protection. yup! collarbone is pretyt-much unprotectable (armour wise). but you could try this to save it... A - power-ranger roll when you hit the deckB - landing on your head instead of your shoulder (not as good an option as the power-ranger roll) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy hardtail Posted July 26, 2011 Share 89 kmh on dirt is pretty quick. Must have been a steep road. How fast do you guys reckon you could go down tokai on the main jeep track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heed0 Posted July 26, 2011 Share I did that last weekend in Jonkers... just before my front wheel nipped a root and sent me flying into a tree and onto the rocks below the tree... Lesson for the day: never get too cocky on a mtbike. damn I can agree with you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricochet_rabbit Posted July 26, 2011 Share jeez, can't remember but the jeep track/concrete path descent in the 'Giants MTB' is pretty damn quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spark Posted July 26, 2011 Share A Warning: I did 20km/h in Plett down an easy but slippery grass covered track. I Fell and broke my ankle in 2 places, dislocated tibula and torn all the ligaments around my ankle. Thats not about inexperience( 3Epics, can't remember how many races in the last 12 years). If it's your turn, you're gonna have to face it. Enjoy, but don't be reckless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Omega Man Posted July 26, 2011 Share How fast do you guys reckon you could go down tokai on the main jeep track? The question here is WHY? There's sweet single track that winds down to the quarry RIGHT there. Why ride down jeep track when there is single track not 20m away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawieO Posted July 26, 2011 Share 82km/h down Breedts. Not singletrack and not particulary sweet but there you have it. Was fun seeing the expressions on the motorbikers' faces as I came flying by. And once the adrenaline wore off, the realisation of exactly how stupid that was settled in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarely go faster that 60km/hr down Breedts. Afraid I might run out of skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy hardtail Posted July 26, 2011 Share Why , you ask omega man? To find out thats why. I always go down the single track so was wondering how steep a jeep track needs to be to do 89 kmh on it. Dont have a computer on my bike to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
