DIPSLICK Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 We lack a bit of gradient - only 4m in 100m but I'm sure we can hire a bobcat and play. The property is only 16,000m so it'll have to be tight and twisty. I'm in!ILL SPONSOR SOME DIESEL MONEY, NOTE THE SOME PART

Wayne Potgieter Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Seems we got ourselves a little project going on.
Grebel Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Was thinking more like i rent some dangerous heavy machinery, and we drink too much beer in the sun and try make a course. Wayne, here is a plan. Get the heavy machinery and the beers. Drink the beers and bark orders at the driver about where to dump and move the sand. When you think it is right, get somebody to ride the jumps (Ask Eldron. I hear he knows how to tuck and roll....) If they buy a plot, make some changes to the obstacle. Wash, rinse repeat. When the amount of falls start to decrease, you know you are close. When the building is finished, grab one last beer and your bike and go hit the jumps and take all the credit and brag about your course building skills!!! DIPSLICK and Wayne Potgieter 2

Bad Girl Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 When top pros are crashing and braking bones on an uci XCO course which happened last year as well, you know that the course is wrong. Stop pandering to the uci and their lust for ratings. Kids and their parents are looking twice at XC now due to the nature of these uci XCO courses. Novamesto was another example of this kind of course. When the pros are saying that as soon as dropper posts are light enough they will get one you know something is wrong. Wyatt Earp 1
nigelhicks Posted September 4, 2013 Author Posted September 4, 2013 guys - here is what you add in to your track somewhere - and remember this would be for XC bikes ... SO Build them correctly for wheel size and seat height .... (then add 2 more sets aside just to play on.. http://www.imba.com/sites/default/files/images/resourcesfreeriding/jumppark_2.jpg http://www.imba.com/sites/default/files/images/resourcesfreeriding/jumppark_1.jpg Wayne Potgieter, Grebel and rouxtjie 3

Eldron Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Seems we got ourselves a little project going on. Seriously - I'm in. I actually "built" a course last year. Mostly it involved plotting a course then smashing it multiple time with my mx bike. There is a rough route now. The plan was to make this the outside loop then start adding twisty/bermed/jump/drop offs inside the loop to make multiple routes (ridden both ways). rouxtjie, Iron, DIPSLICK and 1 other 4
nigelhicks Posted September 4, 2013 Author Posted September 4, 2013 Eldron ... send me co-ords of your property and i will try and mash something up on Google Earth for you Wayne Potgieter and rouxtjie 2
Wayne Potgieter Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 I will sponsor a "ride at own risk" sign. Largely because i am the one that will probably fall the most.
