Lets get this wheel rolling again.
It's been far too long since I was on here.

 

Keep an eye open for some group classes.

I'd be interested in this. I'm actually heading down to PwC bike park on Sat to go practice jumping and bunny hoping.

Wolwespruit is a far better place to learn to jump, Grootfontien is awesome for drops with a nice progression from teeny to MASSIVE (to me at least) drops

Thanks for the tips. I hear Wolwespruit is pretty good. The one reason I wanted to go to PwC is due to them having drop offs and jumps, so I can practice both. And some flat areas to do bunny hops and manuals. 

PwC isn't great for jumps, that's for sure. They just have the one jump track. 

I'll go out to Wolwespruit next weekend. 

[RJClegg]

Okay, just took a closer look at Grootfontien; I need to go there!

PWC is in a terrible state, at least it was when I last went there, the jumps are all eroded, the 2 drops in the skills section were also in a shoddy state, but the trails are still quite fun I guess.

 

The jumps at Wolwespruit are excellent for learning on, I am pretty bad at jumping, but the jumps there make me look good, they are really well built and very learner friendly, I haven't been to Grootfontien for a while now, I need to go back there soon, but all this talk of Wolwespruit now has made the decision easy for where I will be riding on Saturday ????

[RJClegg]

Hmmm, maybe I need to visit Wolwespruit on Saturday.

I went to PwC on the 10th April with by 11Yr  and 9 Yr and the 2 jumps on the Skills side were closed and well as the BMX track. we wer very disappointed. 

Call before hand and check if the tracks you want are open.

I go there most weekends. Those sections are open now.

Grootfontein and Wolwe have great lines to practice your jumping on.
