MTBc Posted November 7, 2016 Author Posted November 7, 2016 Is this one 15:30 into the video? awesome, thank you squire.
NelAndre Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 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.Yip, I stopped at the top and that was it...
Headshot Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Is that actually a rock drop or just a slightly steeper bit of trail? I Don't think that wouid qualify in Cape Town. Sorry :-)
RocknRolla Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 ahh yes... nothing can ever compare to anything in Cape Town....
chris_meowzit Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 the rock drop is a must for me when riding the spruit! Adds a bit more excitement to the ride, I try do as many features as possible, drops, jumps and berms to make it as fun as possible and also improve my skills when riding the spruit.
Headshot Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 ahh yes... nothing can ever compare to anything in Cape Town....Ya, like I said, sorry :-)

NelAndre Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Is this one 15:30 into the video? Man watching this really makes me want to get out and ride #Mondaysmustfall.Amazing how flat you make that drop off look.....I will have to go try it.

Henryfeather Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 That drop off once you are familiar can be done at speed.It's the lintel river crossing that I fear thoughHad a friend brake a hip and femur there

mrbaker Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 You can also ride up the steep side... Especially when your cycling buddies are on your tail
hayleyearth Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 The 1st rock part motioned in the thread is a rock roll off, not a drop.
