shot ... should be back up there this weekend with a Bobcat to finish off the rest of the track and add in some big berms and some cool table tops ... theres another rock garden that i didnt photograph ... its AWESOME - super steep and tech!

 

will add more pics as i take them

Looks great!

 

And how does a person get access or permission? Directions?

[nigelhicks]

the track is on a private farm which is leased to Mondi ... the guy to phone if you want to go and ride (when the tracks done) is Ivan Revesz ... 0828965028

 

the track is right next to the N3 freeway - you take the 125 offramp to balgowan (near Nottingham road)

 

Just phone Ivan if you ever in KZN - it takes 25 min to get there from PMB

The track is looking incredible. Multiple line choices, Rock Gardens, Fast sections, tech sections.... It has been left quite natural and feels great so far.

Ivan chooned me that you guys rode it after i left. AND??? how was the bottom section that we cut on Sunday?

Was great hey, has quite a nice flow and those smaller rock gardens are awkward - which is great!!

Once it is ridden in and a few berms added it will be quick!!
