the nerd Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Let's put this in context: The ocean is a pretty big place, but if you drop into another guy's wave, you end up with a broken nose. A handful of people made up the rules, but everybody is happy to abide by it. And no one pays for the wave, do they? Trail etiquette does not only apply to trail centers. The spruit isnt. There arnt families cruising the backline. There are no vagrants in the ocean, nor commuters!
Hairy Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 The spruit isnt. There arnt families cruising the backline. There are no vagrants in the ocean, nor commuters!Dude, many of those surfers are one rand away from being bergie's!
Samurai Pizza Cat Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 The spruit isnt. There arnt families cruising the backline. There are no vagrants in the ocean, nor commuters!You keep coming back to "commuters, families, vagrants etc." The problem is riders who should know better. Go read my previous posts again. Those "humps" you are riding uphill are jumps you should be riding from the other side....if you chose to ignore that fact there is nothing I can do for you. Go ride the DH course at Thaba backwards, I'm sure they'll love you there. The only reason I started this conversation, is because someone is going to get hurt.
Mongoose! Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 For us on the otherside of the country, with little to no real ownership in the spruit, could we see pics of these areas .... you know, so that we can feel included in the discussion. Not trolling, just interested to get a visual of what is happening on those trails.pic please?

As soon as I have it I will go carve it up in the Spruit and take some gnarly pics

snakesean Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Who the hell cares anyway? The Spruit isn't real mountain biking anyway. A real trail isn't a place where a 75 year old lady, with two artificial hips, can walk Fluffy, her French Poodle. So I take it you hit ALL the jump lines no problem then

A real trail isn't a place where a 75 year old lady, with two artificial hips, can walk Fluffy, her French Poodle. Please let the rest of know where all the "real mountain biking" in Fourways is. I shared a chairlift in the Alps with a 70+ year old couple and their dog (walkers). So that probably disqualifies the Portes du Soleil as well.
Tumbleweed Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Thing is, I have never seen any "commuters" going up the wrong way. Only "insurance company sponsored" riders on 80k specialized epics. You really have to go out of your way to go up the wrong way at Hurlingham, as there is a four lane highway right next to the jump line. And finally: Whether it is public land is a moot point: Mountain biking started on public land, and some of the greatest trails on the planet are still on public land.Actually, no. Mountain biking started on illegal trails.
Wyatt Earp Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 At the OP.It's not your Spruit, it's not mine it's everyone's to have access to for free .
Showtime Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Even winning a world cup event must be a bit hollow now a days .... because in the back of your mind you must still be wondering where do I rank compared to those skill monsters on thehubsa.
Barry Stuart Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Occasionally on my long runs I get caught needing a poop a long way from home. If I have to do an emergency boskak I always do it on the corner cutting lines. Dear straight liners.. that's not dog poop that splattered your chin.

Good thing you did not have your finger on the button during the cold war
