The rock drop on the spruit - looking for pichas or vids

[MTBc]

Does anyone have a pic / vid of that rock drop off on the spruit between Delta and the Virgin / Rustenburg road? Surprised to not find it as easily on Google, must be doing something wrong.

really cannot think of any drop off (or rocks actually), in that section... 

can you be more specific?

If you're heading from Rustenberg road towards Delta, there's a little split to the left, probably not more than 1km away, which leads through some bushes with a 40ish odd degree drop down the face of a big rock. Along Zonda ave.

You mean the rock you can roll down? Not sure if this will work.

yes, that's the one. Unfortunately can't see it from streetview, was hoping for a more direct pic of it.

Not so easy from google but you can go south on Zonda a bit for a better view of the approach - which face do you want I can take some pics for you today most likely.

Is the best I can do without actually going there.

The result of trying to look at a stand a bit down the road from there - unsuccessfully I might add - but figured out a lot of google earth's tricks in the process (and burned several hours too ) ...

Yip it is very impressive.

 

So do you guys ride down there? I went to try it but chickened out

Often - practice makes perfect - especially on a rigid SS

My first MTB ride back in 2012, my mates were all "Yeah, everyone rides down it on their first spruit ride". So i did. K***ed myself proper back then. Now it's actually not so bad, just don't stop at the top, keep rolling from the back and easy down.
