swich Posted December 3, 2014 Author Posted December 3, 2014 sweet see you then. yeah i couldn't get the landing correct i would clear it or case it. so i need some help with that. as you can see that tree seems close but the direction of the jump you nowhere near it. but other wise a nice little guy...
swich Posted December 8, 2014 Author Posted December 8, 2014 so i went on Saturday again. added some body(base) to the jump and but 3cm more on top with a good lip. i am now hitting the landing every time. little bit more of a thrill. so this coming weekend. im going to recruit some mates to come help me dig. build it bigger with a better landing.
swich Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 so went down with a mate yesterday to hit the mole hill a bit.it was lekker fun... that jump need to get bigger. more time to recover over get off the bike when things go wrong. Not sure what went wrong, all i knew is it was going wrong and i hit the ground hard. all tangled up in my bike and sliding.
HaydenWilson Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Heh i went and hit it on tuesday. Good fun but i agree that it needs to be bigger. Once i am on leave i will dedicate some spadework to it. Its literally around the corner from my house so definitely keen to build it up a bit!

Waldo Büchner Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 hey guys how is the build going? would be cool to come help build some time and learn to jump!
Fixed Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 @Hayden: Myself and a couple of friends build those jumps just below emmarentia but we had the local residents call the council and have them flattened. @Switch: I tried to go the offical route and presented a bunch of stuff to city parks and nothing ever came of it, I am very very interested in getting some trails running and I know a bunch of guys who would be equally interested. If you have a spot with some potential and it's not going to get shut down I would certainly be down to help build. I love building jumps and riding them, been doing it for many years. Let me know if you still have something going on.
swich Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 nothing has changed with this since last year. been so bust with changing jobs and going over to the US etc etc etc. but when ever we ready to dig lets do it. im starting to ride my 20" more are more. and would love so nice big jumps for it
Barry Stuart Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 I might have access to a metric f***ton of soil but need some extra hands with spades if anybody is keen to help load the trailer and build. Extra trailers/bakkie are an added bonus. Going to speak to the guy with all the dirt today.
swich Posted June 8, 2015 Author Posted June 8, 2015 Time and date. My shade and gloves are ready. And soon my bmx... The DJ is always ready...
The MTBer Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Wian and I am ready for some building and riding an about 2/3weeks from now, we was thinking of building at Klapperkop a big jump, since neither of us can jump. Where do you guys want to build HK?
Barry Stuart Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Cool, Jono and Swich, let me confirm the soil and I'll PM you guys to get your details
Barry Stuart Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 No go on the soil unfortunately but I have spoken to someone who says they'll be starting construction in a couple of weeks and should have decent soil available.
