boesman88 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Learn to ride the tech stuff. Look for Skillup MTB on Facebook.The photo was taken at Hakahana.Yep, I spend quite bit of time youtubing to improve my skills and it has helped a heck of a lot. Dont have many opportunities where I stay to really try out big drop offs with very steep rocky descents (to practice what I’ve learnt) - so when I got to that part of the route it was more case “oh crap, what now?” and of course a lack of courage and skill that caught me by surprise. Love learning new tech skills though - a heap of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCVenter Posted April 15, 2019 Share Congratulations on finding the best MTB park in Gauteng ! Keep on riding the Buffel, you will build skills that will come in handy. You can do the A line without a dropper post, lean back and go straight.....like so ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
