No, that's definitely the Spruit. You can see how clean the water is. I don't even bother with a camelbak when I'm there, I just cup my hands and drink.

 

Here's a pic of the wooden section at Northern Farms, but this is just from the blue line though, not the black diamond...

You will have so much time from when launching to landing that I wander just what all can go through your mind whilst in flight ...... especially if you know it is going to go wrong!

When you drop into Chatel The Spuit. you can see the mountain style course (They call it the face) on the other side of the valley. Believe me it's intimidating just looking at it.

 

And yes. It's open you can go ride it.

Enough explain,makes all you said null and void.

 

And your poor grasp of the English language is enough to make everything you said null and void...

Man that is cool. Out of curiosity - how did you get all those riders to wear the same clothes and ride the same bike???

Boom cause at the end of the day...its the scoreboard that counts. "Mashers" will pray for cleats come the cramps at 50km ...and I am not even talking multi-day events where you are saving your legs for tomorrow....unless you are fine with a 8 hour day on the trails. You summed it perfectly on the previous page tromps, they work together to counter fatigue on the whole

 

I don't know so much Rouxter.

The masher will be "bombing" it downhill with a great sense of gratification saying to themselves "damn I am flying"

And I think we all know that not much "bombing" happens that end of the field :lol:

Saw one of these jumps now when I was in Austria ( and no Goose, it's not G'day Mate)

Scary stuff this, I couldn't help wonder how these guys pluck up the courage to do this stuff.

Thanks for the clarification, I was wondering if it was your $h!tty spelling or if you actually meant the county in europe.

 

Dont worry about how they get the courage to do that, only a masher with baggy shorts and flat pedals will understand..

No man, leave the Spruit manne out of this.

I am thinking more in the lines of Groenkloof with baggy shorts and a 3 liter Camelback.

 

Oi....I resent...resemble that remark...........

& I just got the blarry custardpack...Camelbak recently ok!!!!

Not sure about the county.

And if you can do that jump, you should be on the Red Bull tour, not behind your desk acting all high and mighty as spelling Nazi when you yourself can't spell.

Hahaha. ooops... :blush: touche lawman!

 

If I could do that jump I would be on the red bull tour... and hey, you're the one doing the baiting, and for some reason I am falling for it every time. Lets just agree to disagree shall we?

*mini hijack*

where might one find out what all these terms being bandied around mean?

5-10s; flat pinned; CB 50/50s etc etc.

 

it's obviously not a simple case of clip in or don't.
