Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 hmm, can one take a dip in that river. It is gonna be needed on these upcoming boiling hot daysConsidering the smell that was coming from it, it's a "hell no" from me...
Eddy Gordo Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Considering the smell that was coming from it, it's a "hell no" from me... aaaah damnnnnnn
MTBeer Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Fun trail nice vid come on. tell us what you really think...
Thermophage Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 come on. tell us what you really think... No serious, it is fun and a kewl vid It could be more fun and less dangerous...but it is still fun as is.Ridden it 3 times now and the upper section is getting nice and blown out so hopefully it'll become a bit more technical.The drops could be made into proper drops, not the pavement height ones currently there.Parts of Patrick's Plunge are lank dodge...especially that table. Already flat landed on the other side all three times, once on the HT...Going full tilt someone is going to land in the back of the next jump sometime
'Dale Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Considering the smell that was coming from it, it's a "hell no" from me...Looks like very still water With some dung dung in there

Thermophage Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 More squash, less bounce.yes yes I know how to do that, but I also like to travel far.But then I'm not a totally inexperienced jumper..
DJuice Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Wow, I have said it before, the mtb'ers down in the Cape are lucky!I will give my two front teeth for a track like this in my valley!!! Been slogging for 3 week to build a track at the primary school, comparing with this, I think it is a 0.1 out of 10.
Mamil Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Rode Trail Z for the first time this week - absolutely loved it - even the long climb out of the valley wasn't too dreadful, cleverly staggered as it is with switchbacks. I flatter myself by saying I just make it into the intermediate category of mountain biker. I've read complaints elsewhere about the Cobra being too tame. I did it for the first time a few months back just after it's annual makeover and riding looking at the eponymous buttox of Mr T Buttox and got to the bottom where the girls were waiting patiently and thought - jeez that wasn't too bad. This week by myself however was a different story. Clearly several hundred TGMTB club members, a few rainy days, wind and heat have made it a rougher beast - self preservation suggested walking two sections. The end of my first year as a TBMTB member and there's not a ride where I don't pause for a comforting pull of electrolyte from my camelbak and think how lucky I am to be where I am.
Dry Biltong Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Agree with Mamil. Ridden Hoogekraal (including Trail Z) a few times in the past 7 weeks and reckon it's awesome.Since reading the complaints from some okes I've been scratching my head wondering what they don't enjoy. Just no pleasing some okes I guess.
Andrew_Smith Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Awesome video bud. That helmet though. Never ridden Hoogekraal before, so should definitely go there once.

I should have realised you would have been blinded by the raging sun shining into your eyes from between by eponymouses. I will give you a bigger gap next time. (And following me down Cobra is like following Stevie Wonder through a labyrinth...) But, glad you have mastered the dark arts... Just don't jinx it. I thought I had things waxed* and next my back was broken. * - don't. Say. Anything.
