Hi Omega man how did the race go?

 

Hope there was a good turn out for the race.

Race was rad. It was a bit windy but the track was super fun and running well. Pottie won, Jonty Neethling 2nd and Duran (track builder 3rd)

We got there a bit late since we did not see this thread, rode all the way up the climb from Helderbergplaas side with our bikes!

 

Looked like the big jumps were taped closed?

Ja a lighty ended himself on the top road gap so they taped off all the big stuff cos of the wind.

Which one? The huge ass one at the bottom? That was closed off for the race cos of the wind. Also you wouldn't catch me hitting that in a million years. That thing is HUGE. the gap is 14m

looks like a lekker track - and doable on a Reign. maybe next time :-)

The wind was quite hectic! But was just wondering if there is footage - even if not from yesterday? Thinking of the first one off the platform at the top and also the last one just before the end...

I don't have any footage of that. One of the fast lighties broke his bike and himself on the top one and they closed off all of the gaps after that. no one did the bottom one as far as I know. Not even Pottie. The wind was just way too hectic.

Pity - would love to see some action off those jumps. Just riding up the mountain and past them makes me scared!

 

Maybe someone else has some footage from other days?

I've seen some floating around on facebook.

Pottie did do both roadgaps, so did the 13 year old Jason du Toit, Smittie also did it and Jonty and a few others.

 

Reasons for closing the bigger features was purely from a safety POV as the wind was gusting at up to 50km/h.

I must say, when i rode down, the wind wasn't that bad, not even the gusts. musta been howling earlier the morning.
