remfactor Posted May 7, 2014 Author Posted May 7, 2014 really looks cool! maybe a race in 2015?Actually, we were thinking of doing something this year. There should definitely be an XCO event on the 21st of June that will use some parts of the bottom of the course. The idea was to have a small DH event the next day
remfactor Posted May 7, 2014 Author Posted May 7, 2014 Awesome...my brother lives in Magoebaskloof...I see a weekend trip coming up very soon! Will ensure I bring him and as many of his friends along!Sounds good!
remfactor Posted May 18, 2014 Author Posted May 18, 2014 A new small section that we added to the top of the course yesterday morning... Will try it out later today
remfactor Posted June 2, 2014 Author Posted June 2, 2014 Calling DH'ers, Free riders, All mountain riders, Trail riders, Enduro riders (of course)...We are having a XCO event in Tzaneen on the 21st of June. The XCO course is going to use parts of the bottom of the DH/Enduro course. Just after 12, whhen the XCO is done and dusted, we are having a "DH" show to promote Dh, Enduro, Trail riding in this area.Everyone is welcomed to join. Read this post from the start to have an idea of what the course looks like. It is really not difficult to ride and even has quite a few B and C lines to avoid the main obstacles.

remfactor Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 So the DH "show" took place this past saturday. We had only four riders, but a lot of spectators and a lot of interest was shown.If you want to see a bit of footage of the track, go to Mountain bikers do it downhill on FB...
TznDotMtb Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 The whole day was such a great event! Thanks Remi for all your hard work that went in the trails! I had another call today enquiring about the DH Track...so there's more interest in Tzaneen...If I wasnt so scared I would really have tried it. Maybe you can give some skill classes? I know alot of riders that will defnitely be interested...if your DH skills are so good, you should be perfect to coach us?
