Yeah, Nils can certainly ride. And as Meurant said. Thank god he wasn't on a nine. Otherwise he'd have had to change the course again.

 

The ou bokke are damn fast, but also have the time to ride tho. No more kids. Executive positions. Etc.

not a fooking clue, mate. Never been there before. Apparently lots of climbing (sigh)

I think last time I was there. They laid out 4 stages.

 

1 had a steep drop In.

2 was on a long jeep track, then into a vine tunnel.

3 was winding and dusty.

4 got scrapped

5 was narrow trail under canopy that ended close to parking area.

 

 

I dunno that's sort of what I remember.. vaguely.

HIJACK!

 

While you're all riding your post race-weekend highs, what are the dates for the enduro races down there this year? Do you have 2 series, Dirtopia and WP?

I would love to come down for a couple of races this year, I NEED to ride some of those trails!
