theRussian Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I did the track yesterday. If this is the easy, non technical track, then I will most probably struggle with the 2nd one in the series already.
Danger Dassie Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Nothing at Thaba or other venues. That's unfortunate. Still, looking forward to it.
Bergie001 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I did the track yesterday. If this is the easy, non technical track, then I will most probably struggle with the 2nd one in the series already. How would you describe the technical challenges, major rock gardens, steep drop offs?
theRussian Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 How would you describe the technical challenges, major rock gardens, steep drop offs?Rocky ascends and descends with sharp turns, 2 nice drops, but with chicken run. I guess I am just not technical enough.
Bergie001 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Okay, I am also a bit worried about the technical stuff, this is my first try at XCO. Will get there early Saturday morning to have a look before race time.
Enticement Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Check out the track ... https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=711005632331365&set=vb.697904703641458&type=2&theater 1st track in the Series is just to get the hang of it, increasing in technical and physical demand to the last one which will have all the bells and whistles, getting you ready for the SA Champs!
