Did you get me failing that drop!? Please say yes

Wait for it.....! Pictures don't tell the whole story!!

BTW it wasn't a fail, more of a "lost opportunity"!!

I am in awe of guys that can approach and just see 'the line' and hit it .... I often go over something a few times all apprehensive then see someone else (usually my son) just go and do it first time and see a so much better and 'smoother' line ???? #NotAnAllMountainGuy

Thanks.  Was a great new piece of singletrack... dropping onto the road at the "end" if it reminded me of many years ago (1999 or so) of when the DH course came out there for the National.   

 

Always appreciated for the work everyone puts in.

Fark. That was a day. Left Plett early (like 6am) with the sole intention of getting to Tokai and hitting the new am trail. Rug rat 2 developed an explosive bum for most of the journey which meant 5 hours turned into 8, many stops, tons of CY plated crazy's in tiny fords driving like chops, epic traffic, sLP traffic, wife with a pathological need to visit woolies before anything can happen, 1 pooch that has suddenly decided it's time is up on the day I need to change pedals from clips to flat (where the feck did I put the spanner let alone the pedals), client in the 1st world who don't know about HR Day (so sent them sharpsveille explanations and all goes quiet) All in all... admin and stress. BUT manages do to get the park, pedal up in that sh*t fight of 40c at 4pm and hit the AM.

 

Not ideal. Managed to be thinking of 400 different things at each important moment. Was fun but rode like a tool and looked like a spider crab on drugs who had just had that pointed out on national tv In front of Ava Mendez. Literally stopped and hugged my self at the gate and promised myself I'd be a better person this weekend.

 

Great trail, awesomeness addition. Brilliant work. User issues.

You've earned putting your feet up tonight. See you on the weekend!

So this trail is now sadly dieing a slow death due to crazy erosion from all the rain. Any plans for maintenance or a volunteer build day soon? It's become almost unrideable, in fact most of the trails need work after all the rains. I'm keen to do some digging up there
