Spruit Ideas

[Mileage]

Ive got some holidays coming up and will spend a bit of time doing some spadework on the spruit. I get bored after about a day on the couch!

 

There is a section that could be livened up a bit just by the rock face drop off. As you ride past it going emmerentia direction there are two large mounds from where soil was dumped ages ago. They are grassed over but a bit of sculpting should sort them out.

 

Also as you carry on a bit past that one of the big concrete blocks at the bottom of the pylons drops off about 40cm onto a small rocky downslope and would make a nice hop. Ive ridden it a few times but its very rough right next to the pylon so you cant keep up speed so I plan to smooth that out a bit and maybe fill a bit with soil. If you include the two little rock jumps a bit further back , the two mounds and the drop off it will make a nice little section better than the normal trail.

 

 

At the bottom of the road where I live some tjop dumped a whole truck of soil so I will move it one venter load at a time. Ill use some to smoothy out those mounds and the drop and use some on the concrete manholes further up after you cross Rustenburg Rd.

 

 

Anybody have any other places anthills need to spring up or be enlarged?

the tree needs to be cut here before anything else, i think someone has tried to build on the downward path already however the thorn bush almost blinded me, didnt have the penknife with me or i would have cut the low lying branch out the way.

 

i think Delta park along the river off the normal dog/ walkers path could do with a jump or 2, would make the ride back to fratellies allot more fun.

 

if you are feeling really energetic the path leading down between olifants and tana rd that has the out of path root jump could do with a path cleanup and perhaps a few more on that side just to make the run down more fun.

 

as i say if you are really bored and energetic

Mileage, I know of some padawans who are frightened by the Scout Hall jumps and want to build something smaller. But be aware that they are still teenagers so their work ethic is lacking.

There is a lot of potential for the left line at Scout Hall to be transformed into something rideable. At the moment it is just mounds of death.

I also like the idea of training jumps.

Don't get any ideas.

Jumps are for bikes with some sort of travel...

I will happily swing a spade to help develop Scout Hall.

Let us know when you are planning to do the work , if I am free I would like to lend a hand.

I really support the work you are doing but don't make a big thing about doing it,

as soon as some idiot hurts themselves on whatever has been built they are going to look for someone to sue for their stupidity and lack of talent, it happened to some Fairies a few years ago.

 

nice work on that fallen tree

 

Apparently there is a build planned for this Saturday afternoon, top of Delta by the school fields.
