hayleyearth Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Can I come crash the one at Hakahana? I might be able to help with the 1st uplift to the top if you want and I can be the lady dummy if you think having a lady do things will make them other riders more confident... Peach. 1

I've seen a pic of you testing yr new fork and doing the drop off after the wall....mmmm pretty hectic .
Gen Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I may not be able to do all that Peach will show me, hubby will have a jol there.. but we've taken this opportunity to go up to GP and go ride were I have never ridden before, posted the kids for the weekend and going to stay at Van Gaalens.. nice weekend away, just the two of us. I really can't wait, looking forward to learning what I can and just have a really good time. Peach. 1
ScottCM Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Hi Scott, 4-6 people is good, I will just need to check when I will be free.would you be keen for Thaba? As long as we not doing drops, as my HT and i need to learn to crawl confidently before we bunjee. I'm sure we can gather 4-6 people. Myself, maybe Thfc & SuRomano. that leaves 1-3 more. shouldn't be a problem. Peach. and Gen 2
Pikey Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Must add though i am really amped about going to hakahana ...I wanna jump I wanna jump...sorry I wanna learn how to land a jump.???? Edited January 20, 2015 by Thfc Peach. and Gen 2
hayleyearth Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I've seen a pic of you testing yr new fork and doing the drop off after the wall....mmmm pretty hectic . That is my old fork, it just had a service so felt like new again (it was giving lots of issues last year). Must add though i am really amped about going to hakahana ...I wanna jump I wanna jump...sorry I wanna learn how to land a jump. Hakahana is a good place to learn how to jump because the jumps are 'safe' (the wall drop has a palet in now so you can start off real slow at 1st).. here is a vid of me doing it at roll in speed and still clearing it (the gap/palet).. https://www.facebook.com/#!/video.php?v=10152949937881276&set=vb.744721275&type=2&theater (sorry for the fb link but cant post other links at work) The 1st 2 times I went there I was too scared to try it, many factors freaked me out, but I can say there is actually nothing to be scared about. SP1 at Hakahana has a veriety of feachers and even smaller 'rock drops' and a steep rock roll and lots of rocky terrain to practice on. I think it is a good place to drain the tips from Peach.

Will be first time at hakahana,have wanted to go for ages. But it's bloody far from Al ber ton . At least this way it forces me to make the effort instead of just going to thaba. Already done a lesson with Chris and he's well skilled and extremely modest. Nice atmosphere at his lessons. Peach. and hayleyearth 2

Chris has gotta let us know when the next one is at this venue (before the 1st Enduro ... hint, hint) We know he has a personal life and blah, blah .... but this is really important charitable, humanitarian work we're talking about here ...
