T-Bob Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 if you bring the spitty to Table Mountain then it'll 4 i've seen there... i know some trails that...ok nevermind What's the collective noun for a load of Spitfires?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 That's exactly true.Technical does NOT mean dangerous (not necessarily anyway).Often the most dodgey parts can be on far less technical sections.The most dangerous features on the TBMTB trails? Stiles. And those are FAR from technical
Thor Buttox Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Ja, in my humble, kinda over all the dickswinging, opinion, that part on the way back to the carpark is probably one of the most dangerous bits of trail on the entire network. Very easy to get carried awy with speed, overshoot a corner or screw up a bombhole and that's you hitting the deck at a proper pace. That's how you get offed. Not going down a slow and tech bit of steep or hitting a road gap.My friends and I's favourite bit of trail in the network.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 My friends and I's favourite bit of trail in the network.It's SUPER fun. But also, as Nico says, dangerous if you lose control or have a slight misjudgement.
Thermophage Posted September 28, 2016 Author Posted September 28, 2016 It's SUPER fun. But also, as Nico says, dangerous if you lose control or have a slight misjudgement. Correct....And NOBODY complains about that...Why, because even though it's dangerous, its DAMN fun so nobody cares So club, put some more tech stuff in when you have time/budget You'll notice your members will be psyched!
Headshot Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 The most dangerous features on the TBMTB trails? Stiles. And those are FAR from technical Thats just because you bought a farm off one... Seriously though I nearly did too on the bridge after the first DH - easy to over speed and land nose heavy. Was fun riding it out...
Eddy Gordo Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 That downhill section to the car park is probably one of the most fun lines around. I am always trying to go faster, if I am not pooped from all the climbing. Also mood depending. Somtimes I just roll the entire section and you can pick up speed very quickly, until you run into the cattle. Then it gets hairy
popcorn_skollie Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Hoogekraal. You take 6 days to reach the top and swear you'll never come back again.Then you change your mind after you make it down in like 3 minutes.

Seriously though I nearly did too on the bridge after the first DH - easy to over speed and land nose heavy. Was fun riding it out...LOL. Yeah. But there are people who have hit them and come off waaaaay worse than me. I just had an under-torqued stem which caused the wheel to rotate on landing whilst the bars stayed straight. It's like the water-bars on the old tokai jeep track. They just have the potential to go WRONG.

Eddy Gordo Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Do anyone know whats happening with the on off build in the trees on the first climb at hoogekraal?
Thor Buttox Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Now THAT's a bunch of dirt roadies. You're a veritable Minnaar by comparison.I know Min and I feel Naar!
Thermophage Posted September 28, 2016 Author Posted September 28, 2016 Do anyone know whats happening with the on off build in the trees on the first climb at hoogekraal?I heard they had issues with cows destroying the stuff so gave up?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 I heard they had issues with cows destroying the stuff so gave up?Not gave up, waiting for sponsorship for the fence to keep them out. Then maintenance & trail Z took priority, so until the fence is sorted out they don't wanna do anything that the cows will destroy 5 min later.
