Chris Nixon Cycling Academy bike park (Constantia Uitsig)


Trillian

Recommended Posts

Skills area, pump track, longer XC pump loop and 3 jump lines from tiny to big enough. Go and see what Chris has achieved in only six weeks. Much more to come. R30 entry, no unaccompanied kids. I've been there twice and had a ball. Book a training session with Chris for the full benefit.

Hope this link works for everyone. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Chris-Nixon-Cycling-Academy/623219401134228

 

The map is very wrong, don't even look at it. It is at Constantia Uitsig Winery on Spaanschemat Road.

I cant wait to go and ride in the park. I have been looking over the fence the last few weeks every time I have ridden past.

 

I will take my thirty ront and try and ride there this afternoon!

I was there a couple of days back and put a few pictures in the where has your bike taken you today thread.

My youngster had a great time and we will be back on Friday for more.

It is good already but the future plans are really impressive.

One thing to watch out for - the outer edges of the field have some fair size thorns, I would make sure I'm running tubeless or carry the bike across the field to the track.

Edit - ahh hell I will post them again.

any chance there will be  a jump bag/foam pit????

Hi. No foam pit in the plans at this stage but things can change.there are plans for a big jump line like the first double on DH3 in Tokai. (slightly higher) and a jump with a soft sand landing. These plans are further down the to do list.

Just a little vid of the current jump line, showing a couple of mates trying it out. I will say that this was mighty tiresome on my AM rig, but managed to clear the first table and ALMOST the 2nd before my (lack of) fitness got the better of me.
