beanz Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Yo, beanz....it's tagged "private" check your Youtube edit settings... Don't know what happened - even I couldn't view it. Seems ok now. Edited August 23, 2014 by beanz LUZERN 1
capediver Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Morzine 2014 Trail by Trail...3 Dan Gets on Mt Chery......one of those "FAAARRKK that" trails especially when wet, first run was scary as hell! Second one, only just kept my heart inside my chest! STEEP STEEP STEEP!

capediver Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Another PDS Trail, Morgins Blue run, probably one of the best in the PDS, techy, roots, chutes, steep and rough....built by Ben Harper Walker (ooppps sorry OM) of Scott who lives in the area. All reckoned this was tougher than the neighbouring black run.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrqVdb22N0Y&feature=youtu.be Edited August 27, 2014 by capediver beanz 1
Guest Omega Man Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Ben Walker. Ben Harper was in an 80's psuedo rock band. I reckon the general consensus in the group is that the Morgins Blue is the best trail in the PDS. Edited August 27, 2014 by Omega Man beanz, NicoBoshoff and nickelass 3
Guest Omega Man Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 4 days till the PDS lifts close. That's always a sad day for me.

That's always a sad day for me.This little line with 2 x 30ft tables might help with that.https://www.facebook.com/knysnatrails/photos/pcb.787845667935337/787845271268710/?type=1&theaterhttps://www.facebook.com/knysnatrails/photos/pcb.787845667935337/787845317935372/?type=1&theater

Finally someone has built proper big safe jumps in SA. I've been of the opinion for ages that making huge gaps is a waste of time. Most people won't hit them and you end up alienating people. Also people will brake on the lips of the jumps destroying them in quick time. If you build tables you're encouraging people to give it a go and you don't have to build a b line with all the ball ache that accompanies it. But what do I know?

Don't wont to look stupid here but being a hartail XC race-snake might have something to do with it. In which direction are these meant to be jumped? I would say right to left but then the (table) part of the jump is up hill wheres I would rather have it sloping down and then have the lip of the landing below the lip of the take-off? Edit: That trail is giving me goose bumps!!! Edited August 28, 2014 by Spoke101

Guest Omega Man Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) More Morzine! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqll-4fN3zc&feature=youtu.beSo much Awesomeness in this vid. Thanks Tony for the edit. This brought a tear to my eye. Especially seeing as it will be 10.....long....cold....months before the PDS opens it's welcoming arms again. And hopefully there will be a large crop of new (and old) Saffers heading over there to experience just how good Mountain Biking in the Alps is. Edited September 1, 2014 by Omega Man
