marko35s Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 is that a drop at the end?Yes.It's the baby drop on the trail, there are much bigger ones up there.

And there are bits there where the best way to get up the slope is to crawl...Earlier today Deon made a comment that "maybe we should stone line one of the berms". I tried to kill him on the spot but he is far faster than he looks...
T-Bob Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Awesome guys. Always blown away with the work that is done on our behalf and the awesomeness of Tokai. Huge thanks.

DJR Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 9ec1e6e0-95ab-40b1-bb58-c220154c93c4.jpgLooks like it is high up the slope and towards Silvermine. Is it perhaps the much dreamed of singletrack link between Tokai and Silvermine?

Shebeen Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 I'm looking forward to coming down at Xmas time, are there any plans for a 1 month holiday season ticket or will I have to pay every time I enter. I haven't been to Tokai since it destroyed my wrist in Dec 2014, so am looking forward to seeing the changes. I also use Eddies move when being overtaken by a bunch of chicks or kids. Still can't get my unfit self up a mountain very fast. you can get annual permits for R250 if you go together. Or something like that, my mom did it for me (was like an episode of back to the future)
Mongooser Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Yes.It's the baby drop on the trail, there are much bigger ones up there.how beeg? like those things at conties or paarl?
marko35s Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 how beeg? like those things at conties or paarl?Not sure but if you hit the biggest one fast you will travel a long way both vertically and horizontally.At a guess, if you hit it properly, you will land over 10 meters down the trail and and around the same amount lower than your take off point. On rocks. With no run off, escape route or soft place to land.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 If it makes you feel better I have fallen over several times just walking on that bit.that's SOP for you, so no... doesn't really make us feel any better. Is it THAT flat?

marko35s Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 To be fair you can land anywhere from two meters out and down but if you go large...
