'Dale Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 There should be a World Champs track down table mountain. Imagine, 800 meters vertical, 9 minute descent and a cablecar back to the top! Yoh.Imagine.And some aerial camera work with those sights in the background.

A new setup pop jump into a big dipper and onto a step up tabletop with 2 line options SICK! the 2nd pic is taken before shaping began ZION, RockCoach, Super_mil and 1 other 4

Super_mil Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Right so Hylton Turvey has been let loose on the DH track with a tlb and this is what he has come up with today! A new setup pop jump into a big dipper and onto a step up tabletop with 2 line options SICK! the 2nd pic is taken before shaping began Wooo hoooo!!! Looks awesome.Where there's a Hylton Turvey let loose, there will be a MONSTER jump Just make sure he sends that thing on a proper DH bike and not his plastic circus bike! RockCoach 1
nigelhicks Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 No his bike is not the issue - went out yesterday afternoon to check and the lips he's put in are far too steep. They will send you into orbit. And the jumps are then a bit too short for shallower lips ... So I chatted to him and he will be adjusting them today. So will post pics tomorrow when I'm back from JHB.

Nigel we had an awesome time with Mr_Mil showing us around Cascades. Love those new small rocky drops right at the start. Also had a look at some of the work you guys are doing. Really lekker. Makes me wish I was 10 or 15 years younger. Dirty Sanchez 1
nigelhicks Posted June 27, 2013 Author Posted June 27, 2013 and some new updates - will be testing this section out this weekend Gravity-Life 1
Super_mil Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Looks good. Those pics don't do that jump justice... Quite a big step down that is!Did Syd manage to do the step-down?
Hairy Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Fess up Nigel You wangled this whole WC DH circus simply to be able to build a DH route and "play thing" that you have always wanted to ride yourself and have gotten a whole lot of other people to fund ... I like the way you do things! nigelhicks 1
