Chubba Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 OK so my competitive spirit is getting out of hand here.new time 5:29GPS track of the route belowOn a 29'er hardtail?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Chubba - it doesn't really matter what bike you use here. Yes, there are a couple of dropoffs and "jumps" but they can be easily rolled over. In fact, the HT will probably be faster due to the pedally sections... We just wanted to have a jol, and jump off everything there was to jump off!

Interested to see what bikes these times are being achieved on. (granted, that its skill based)
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Yeah, definitely! On that assumption, I'll be at the bottom end of the sheet! I would imagine an AM type / longer travel XC bike would be best.
Capricorn Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) indeed myles. shorter travel will rule as there aint any gnar there.Also, a steeper head angle is perfect for that place. Edited September 20, 2011 by Capricorn
brussel Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 On a 29'er hardtail? yip, the trail is pretty smooth so it's going to be faster on a hardtail for sure

Gnar gnar gnar! Yeah, I felt pretty "squishy" on the DH bike. But that might just have been as a result of my pooped-edness at the time!
nigelhicks Posted September 20, 2011 Author Posted September 20, 2011 dont forget to post your times ... I have updated the first post so far with Brussels time .... but we need more
banna Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 yip, the trail is pretty smooth so it's going to be faster on a hardtail for sure Hmpf... as soon as I'm back from Karoo to Coast I will attack Majik with a vengeance. I can't let a clown bike beat the magnificent and far superior Morewood Zula. O ja, there is the slight problem of the not so magnificent and far inferior rider of the Zula...
Capricorn Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 NiHi: put me down for a solid 7:38. Wes is probably a 7:00 flat. Myles, i cant remember. As bottomfeeder, that should get me stoked to go give it a proper go.
reteid Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 are you only timing coming down what about up? only asking as i can only see the forrest and the uphill and the road going up to the beacon from my office.I am supposed to work but difficult when following downhill from my office window.No crashes as yet as i did not see any ambulances or dirtclouds over majik as yet this afternoon just looming dark clouds.Will see if i can give it a go this afternoon when all the people are walking with their dogs and children up the downhill part.enjoy
PeterWest Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 You guys are taking out all the fun parts of the track
PeterWest Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 for me, that track to the left after the camel humps is the best, oh well...
