Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 And there's more added from when I was there! That little kicker in the last pic wasn't there last time. NEED to go back there.
droenn Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Love that trail! Cheers for the work done, to those involved!
popcorn_skollie Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 And there's more added from when I was there! That little kicker in the last pic wasn't there last time. NEED to go back there. I think there's going to be more. Definitely some work being done further down.The big ramp is seriously intimidating though. I don't know if I can find the stones to launch off that thing. My favourite part is the entry into all this. The rolling start over the rocks and the way they intergrated the natural landscape into the build
Guest Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 That would be the cool Bennet Nel who puts in the hard work for us all to be able to have a blast up at Jonkers and various other trails. http://fullsus.co.za/the-trail-master/ http://fullsus.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Bennet-in-action.-Photo-by-Cherie-Vale-Newsport-Media-620x330.jpg
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Yep. Bennett, Brood Opman and many others through the years...

Last time I was there I had my little girl panties on. But next time - big boy pants..
Slowbee Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Cap, why not start another thread and maybe make it an "introduction to Jonkers HUb ride". That way alot of noobs, , can get introduced to these trails and also some "free" skills improvement ? Would be great to show folk canaries and how to ride them safely and include on or two other sections ?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 yeah, should be good... Just need to see when I can get time away!
popcorn_skollie Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Yeah. Last time I was there I had my little girl panties on. But next time - big boy pants.. Haha, its huge! I saw two guys do it though. Those hopes or what ever they had on the back wheels there sounded pretty sweet up in the air between the trees
droenn Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I'd be keen, I know the trails well but would love to see decent riders hit some of technical aspects I bail on and get an idea of what to do.

It's waaaaay beyond my pay-grade!

Climbing canaries makes me think I'm going in circles.Didn't I just pass this rock like 10 minutes ago?Why wont I stop sweating?

Yeah, riding with the right okes makes all the difference.Got some tips from a guy up there and watched him do it a couple times.Walked up, had a look, then I followed him down on my first attempt.
Slowbee Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Climbing canaries makes me think I'm going in circles.Didn't I just pass this rock like 10 minutes ago?Why wont I stop sweating? , i was thinking more like coming down......... prefer gravity helping me
