Samurai Pizza Cat Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 And I will also say (in answer to the OP) that a lot of the straight lines are made by riders skirting a muddy (and sometimes effluvient) corner. The curve tends to reappear when the muddy puddle has dried up. Nope, most of the time it's because I'm busy swearing at the noobs, while trying to kill an old vagrant lady's dog (in her arms), ....by the time I look up its to late to make the turn.... I miss the next corner because I was daydreaming about how awesome it would be if I was the only person allowed to ride in the Spruit.
Odinson Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Thanks for the heads-up. This, I shall certainly read. I was quite impressed to read that the Chief fairy actually employs a worker full-time to work on the Spruit.
Peach. Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 So the part where you said "...than some arrogant Strava chaser (That was for you Nolipoli)" was not trying to imply that I am one of those? mmmmmkay..... That aside, I am very glad that you educate the new riders to rather take the turns slowly than smash the berms to pieces by going straight. Now if you could also educate the experienced riders that just don't care, that would be amazing! and what if we smash the berms to pieces but still take the corner?
Samurai Pizza Cat Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 and what if we smash the berms to pieces but still take the corner? Is your profile pic Chatel?
nolipoli Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 and what if we smash the berms to pieces but still take the corner?Somehow I think you are just flattering yourself. I have it on good authority that you can't take corners.
Samurai Pizza Cat Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 That is correct Nice! They were busy repairing that jump when we were there. Not that I have the skill set to land that anyway. I can do the takeoff, it's the landing that worries me.
Wyatt Earp Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 So the part where you said "...than some arrogant Strava chaser (That was for you Nolipoli)" was not trying to imply that I am one of those? mmmmmkay..... Apparently not.Try this.Go home, have a beer or in your case a Smirnoff Spin, get some biltong or in your case some cheesepuffs, put on some light music in the background (The Village People should work)Read your favourite Mills and Boon and see how this is not about you . Oh, sorry for the edit .But there will be a night ride in our hood tomorrow night, you are more than welcome to join us .

Oh, sorry for the edit .But there will be a night ride in our hood tomorrow night, you are more than welcome to join us .I'll probably pass on the night ride with you - our phone conversation did little to reassure me of your noble character. I don't take kindly to verbal abuse and threats of physical violence. Right, I'm off to my cheese puffs.

SwissVan Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 I kannie believe nie...proven wrong..... Times have changedWe all homiesinittogether and cool now
Peach. Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Nice! They were busy repairing that jump when we were there. Not that I have the skill set to land that anyway. I can do the takeoff, it's the landing that worries me. Shot We were there in Aug and looked like the launch had been worked on.My first attempt was perfect, 2nd attempt I nearly landed in the car park
BarHugger Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Yoh, what a read about a facility that no one can claim ownership to, have the privilege to use, and have to share it with other human beings, animals and plants. The way "THE SPRUIT" is being discussed highlights its similarities with a SHELL UltraCity.......specifically the men's ablution facilities. You have various options there to do your business.....piskrip, wall mounted urinal, toilet with seat up, toilet with seat down, wash basin and the odd fake pot plant for decorative purposes. If the piskrip is fully occupied you will go for the toilet......to the dismay of Joe Soap who has an eminent "number two", because some of us have sniper aim while others use the spray action. What about when you wear your HangTens......piskrip or toilet? Those late night partiers with a few doppe to many.......they will use anything. And what do you do if you want to assume the thought position on the white throne, just to have the previous user's business still floating around.......do you run after him and demand a courtesy service? What determines correct usage and operation policy? The Spruit is like a men's restroom. Various options to use, some definitely questionable. You can however not control the users actions or force your way of doing things on them.......it is not your rest room. If the user wants to whistle while taking a dump, that is their way. If it was however in your own home......feel free to take the necessary actions. However, I won't mind if the guy who used the toilet before me flushes the bowl with Domestos, remove all evidence of use, wipe the floor dry, fold the toilet paper, spray some Morning Spruit Mist air freshener and leave the latest Tread/Ride magazine. So this will be similar to not using the trails properly...... ......like riding in the wrong direction...... ......although this bloke does not seem to be bothered by it.....
