Longtravel Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 I was riding Jonkershoek this morning and had a nasty fall as someone had placed two tree branches at knee height across the trail. We rode down Armageddon and ended up on what looked like a new fast black route coming off Armageddon. I was doing about 30km/h and as i came down a steep section there were two thick branches at knee height across the trail - i had no option but to break hard and hit them sending me flying over the handlebars. Luckily for me there were not many rocks around and got of fairly lightly. This could so easily have resulted in some serious injury. There was no doubt that they were intentionally placed there. We did earlier see a group of students at the top of Saaljie who were having a bachelors party (weekend) as they were dressed up in all the kit - not sure if these guys might have thought it would be a fun prank to play - either way it was damn dangerous - we cant have stuff like this happening on our trails.
ratherberidin' Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 Shocking. WTF. Hope somehow the culprits can be traced and left to the mercy of the local MTBers.
Grease_Monkey Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 WTF. I really hope this doesn't become a trend. At the wrong place on the trail it can cause some serious damage.
