madmarc Posted March 13, 2014 Share I'm with you on that one!!! A bit of work grading the surface and that drop would be a lot of fun to start the course! Come now people, that's a proper drop off. learn to ride it and you'll ride any drop off. Ass back over the seat.Lean forwardLoose grip on the barsBent kneesDon't touch the brakes (speed is your friend)Float down like a buttefly while Sh@#$%^ng in your pants.

Li Mu Bai Posted March 13, 2014 Share What's the chance of someone smoothing the first drop-off at the start to the course (just before the climb on tar)?For the inexperienced like me, it's a bit nervous navigating those rutts...you must be joking. you can always foot it down...

Slope is not the problem...the rutts grabbing my front wheel on the way down blows my mind every time! Yip you right. We need the HTFU...just ride!

Joe Low Posted March 13, 2014 Share Come now people, that's a proper drop off. learn to ride it and you'll ride any drop off. As I get older its a case of risks and rewards and this one doesnt qualify as worth it. As an aside - isnt there a debate that for something to be a drop-off, you've got to get air; ie not just a steep slope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tornado tom Posted March 13, 2014 Share The drop at the start is just about the dryest spot on the ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tornado tom Posted March 14, 2014 Share there's always 33 high street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Hubs Posted March 24, 2014 Share I was at 33 High street on Sunday. Sadly, no longer my favorite place for lunch... Service was shocking to say the least. I really felt sorry for the table of 6 behind us. I think their meals arrived about 20 minutes apart. Such a pity! A really great spot to relax and enjoy a meal.Will be trying elsewhere in future. How's the mud at Modders anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plentipotential Posted March 24, 2014 Share If you really don't want to ride the drop off, turn right across the foot bridge and ride the route you would do on the return. Seen a few ladies doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
