Fisan Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Awesome video! This belongs in the Time to Get the Hell Out of Here thread. Also, can someone tell me where the trails are from 3:54? T-Bob and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Awesome video! This belongs in the Time to Get the Hell Out of Here thread. Also, can someone tell me where the trails are from 3:54?First segment is Conters, 3:20 - 3:55 is G Spot, then up to 4:15 is *I think* The Glen (Top of Kloof Nek going down towards C Bay - Illegal trail); 4:15 - 5:15 is Old Jonkers (DH Line, Canaries, never ending etc) and from then I think it's a mix of Meerendal and G, with a bias towards Meerendal (the view from the top as he's winding down the ST is definitely Meerendal) Edited June 4, 2015 by El Capitan the nerd 1
popcorn_skollie Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 the bit from jonkers got me all misty eyed. okay okay. I was a cry baby through the whole thing Piston ZA, r0adrunner and CdT85 3
