How many times did you have to get off to walk up or down? Would be better to find some more intermediate obstacles in the mean time to learn on and perfect. So lets let this group develop over the next couple of months and then we will go find some real trails... But I'm seriously impressed that you want to give the Fountains obstacles a go.
Sidewinder. Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 So all this technical riding starts on the 27th, right?

Jeesh, I wont deny walking bits (that drop into the river is pretty scary!!) but I had FUN and somehow coped, hence wanting to go back and practice a bit with a few more experienced riders! Even if you gotta push, its still fun and an awesome track to ride. So I will definitely take you up on your offer!! http://1.1.1.4/bmi/cdn.bikehub.co.za/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.png Edited October 15, 2012 by Mons100

Sidewinder. Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Breedts is not technical??? Thats just self inflicted punishment!!! I forgot about the Breedts Nek ride:( I meant that I'll be at VG on sat but I dont want to miss the technical training.
