News bot Posted August 23, 2016 Share Situated on the historic wine estate Constantia Uitsig, The Bike Park has grown in park features and popularity since first opening its doors. Designed by former Downhill World Champion Chris Nixon, the tracks are ideal for honing one’s bike handling skills and consists of a pump track, dirt jump lines, rock gardens, narrow suspended paths, sand pit, drop offs and a 50 metre skybridge that sits 4 metres off the ground. Catering for all bike riders from beginners learning the ropes to experienced cyclists looking to sharpen their skills.Click here to view the article JeremyCPT and Albatross 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was these laaities age I was riding permatoobs on my Game Raleigh to the local Spar, not railing berms on R30k bikes.We also had permatubes, but back then there were functional BMX tracks that were a (rather long) ride away, and we built jumps ourselves. So not quite as dismal as you're painting, Odin... But yes, the youff have it good. Odinson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickGM Posted August 23, 2016 Share I had a skills session here with Chris Nixon about 4 months ago. He's a great guy; very friendly and down-to-earth. He gets right to the point about what you should be drilling into your muscle memory so that you build up the right base for more technical riding. As I understand it, he's overseen the construction of the pump track there too and it's the perfect place to build up skills incrementally. Highly recommended.
