CycleLab Posted November 8, 2013 Share We do have a pump track at the new Cycle Lab Megastore in Fourways. Though it is more for trying out demo bikes than for recreational use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CycleLab Posted November 8, 2013 Share You guys stocking any DJ bikes?I could be incorrect so don't hold me to this but I don't think we have any DJ bikes, but go in and see the team. I'm sure they will be able to help you out or source what you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pusher Posted November 8, 2013 Share Apparently locals thought it was a rubble dump. I'm keen on building a pump track somewhere on the spruit. I dont know where (or how) but I'm pretty good with a spade I'm pretty good at watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted November 9, 2013 Share Come through to Mike's Bikes, this afternoon from 14:00, all you that are crying for a pump track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbreath Posted November 10, 2013 Share Hope the build session at Mike's went well. If you guys are looking for space there is a nice piece of dirt by the old Parkhurst Bowling Club. Perhaps our local councillor could assist, he's very active. Maybe Pirates have some space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted November 10, 2013 Share Bryanston cycle park and Cyclelab store We do have a pump track at the new Cycle Lab Megastore in Fourways. Though it is more for trying out demo bikes than for recreational use. The PWC bike park pump track is... ummm how do I put this delicately... it's crap! No flow. Rythm section is off time, and the corners kill all the speed. It simply doesn't work well. As for the new Cycle Lab one, as stated above, it's more for cutomers to test demo bikes. Also (and I'm only going on pics I've seen, so I may be wrong) but it's design doesn't seem to have sections that could be doubled, and berms that ger riders horizontal. Again, it's more for a cutomer to get a feel for a bike, than for high speed berm railing and skill development. The best SA pump track I've seen so far is the one at Cascades. That thing is insane!

patches Posted November 10, 2013 Share Yesterday about 9 of us put in a good few hours manual labour on the Mike's Bikes pump track. We resurfaced about 85% of the outter loop, and have started on the figure of 8 criss-cross doubles. The outter loop is running nice and fast (both clockwise and anti). Once the ground hardens a little more, the speed will increase and riders will be able to double some of the rollers. There's also potential for wall rides on the 2 main berms. Even during yesterday's testing, riders were getting right up high and almost horizontal on the berms. We hope to finish it off next Saturday... it should be awesome!

patches Posted November 11, 2013 Share Pictures? No! hahaha! We were going to take some... but then we thought about all the lazy butts who would just go there to ride it (destroying some of our hard work), without lifting a shovel. So if anyone wants to see what it's like... come next Saturday with your spade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
