Darryl O Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 An interesting read: http://www.joburgnews.co.za/2004/nov/nov26_sizwe.stm This is the reason some of the land has never been developed. I enjoy riding and running there but would not be so keen to take a spade and start digging.
Darryl O Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 what about under the power lines ? nice slope and plenty space . the line is just out of sight at the very bottom of the pic . I think that is the best option in that area..
Eldron Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 My vote goes to building the jumps in the Modders mtb park - the guys are really approachable and can be found most times at the ticket tent on Sat and Sun morning. Sure it goes against the secret nature of jump lines but this way you know they won't be ripped down and you won't be sued ;-)
ThePubSA Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Nice. I have a friend who lives around the corner there. Let us know if you get it up and running. Np,soon as i get a chance.Maybe shud have started it when it was raining.Soil hard and dry,can maybe run a hosepipe from mates garden,might take fair amount of water tho.Will start to scrape a noob line,& we can see from there.Guys can grow & add to it.

RockCoach Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 My vote goes to building the jumps in the Modders mtb park - the guys are really approachable and can be found most times at the ticket tent on Sat and Sun morning. Sure it goes against the secret nature of jump lines but this way you know they won't be ripped down and you won't be sued ;-) As long as they build a novice and an intermediate line too with some small to medium table tops with long landings and small gap jumps. If not, even your fairly skilled xc trail riders won't attempt the jumps because they tend to be for the dj crowd only. And then very little skill development happens. Its like trying to teach differential equations to grade 7's.

I enjoy riding and running there but would not be so keen to take a spade and start digging. I thought that was on the southern side only?? Not there by the main road, I've seen the graves. They close to the woolworths.
patches Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 What do you guys call the Hurlingham line? Just Hurlingham.. hahaha! but yeah, those jumps are more DH style. And the 10m is currently a bit overgrown. Still a fun line though Thanks guys, just sux that we gotta travel.... would be great if the oaks in the east had a bit of their own space too. There are already some killer dirt jumps on the East Rond at the Vlei in Boksburg.
Stafford Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 Guys which ever we decide I'm keen to offer the elbow grease and sweat of the brow!
Stafford Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 Hey guys could i please ask, if we could arrange to get access to the lot next door to Stoneridge shopping center and perhaps establish an actual DJ park where we pay for entrance, more like MTN etc, would you guys be keen for something like that? the center management sounded fairly keen to do so but i would like to sus out the receptiveness from you guys first.

Sure its not gonna be developed soon??
Stafford Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 Well cente management have a meeting with the landlord tomorrow and they will only be able to give that sort of feedback by cob tomorrow. In any event hypothetically speaking, would u guys be interested?
Peach. Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Forgot about the Hurlingham line and the Boksburg line.Sorry Fairy and Daaaavvvvi
patches Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Forgot about the Hurlingham line and the Boksburg line.Sorry Fairy and Daaaavvvvi yeah... you've totally abandoned your tech line (or my face-plant line)
Peach. Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) Nice. I have a friend who lives around the corner there. Let us know if you get it up and running. I also live just around the corner, cleaned up the cement area a few weeks ago to practice trials on. I know the little birdy that organized 20 trucks to be dumped there.They where spose to develop the land thats why they kicked us out. Edited May 28, 2012 by Peach.
