Carlospicyweiner Posted March 22, 2012 Share I think you are right with that , coz it looks somewhat tough and i think buildings going quite fast too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whistler Posted March 22, 2012 Share Would be awesome to have the track restored. Erosion really ruined it over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlospicyweiner Posted March 22, 2012 Share Its the dirt road that leads to the day spa ... then the beginning of the track can be spotted on the left hand side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polo Posted March 22, 2012 Share We had our own unauthorised "downhill" races at Zevenwacht growing up in the mid nineties. No suspension, no disc brakes, no helmets (not much to protect when you're 15 years old!). The one guy had a "Marvel" with click shifters and 18 gears - the rest of us were on Nishiki's (think that was the name) and various other Dion specials. Don't think i'd be able to go faster today with 30 gears and full suspension. Then again, 3 of us ended up at the doctors for stitches or a fractured elbow in my case. Of course sworn to silence because we werent supposed to be there in the first place! Good times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy hardtail Posted March 22, 2012 Share The wp dh series had a race there every year up to about 5 or 6 years ago. The original track was about 4 mins long, a total lungbuster! There was also a 4x track . Hopefully the track will be back on the calendar this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covie Posted March 22, 2012 Share zevenwacht hosts a couple of xc provinscial events, they might be building a DH trail but they dont allow people to ride the trails, its only for official events normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
