Peach. Posted September 8, 2014 Share It has come to my attention that many people that ride the spruit do not know how to take corners. Many of the corners in the windy tree sections and even out in the open have been ridden straight. There could be a few reasons to this.- You are going too fast and therefore can't make the corner, you are riding beyond your limit, practice taking corners because you cant cut them in races.- you are going for the KOM, don't bother, they are too close to straight paths to pick up a diffrent trail.- You simply dont know how to corner, I would suggest some skills clinics. If you do prefer to ride in straight lines please keep to the open paths or roads and leave the trails to be fun and windy. On this note I would advise youA - Learn how to corner.B - go slower.C - learn how to bunny hop. Some obstacles may appear in all of the straight lines in the not too distant future.

nolipoli Posted September 8, 2014 Share 29er riders can't take corners... I suggest a ban of all 29ers on single track. There is plenty of jeep track for them. Dirt De Vil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp Posted September 8, 2014 Share Stop insulting MY sport :devil: You are not too far off actually.The opening thread makes insinuations that only a handful of people know who to ride bikes.We have been here before, I even recall it was going to get down to a battle royale, but that never happened.The seriousness of it all however is that The Spruit is owned by the council and anyone paying their taxes have the right to ride it, and I can assume that they may ride the Spruit in any way it pleases them.
