Beginner Dirt Jumps

[Clear2Land]

I have just bought a dirt jump bike and I'm looking for beginner dirt jumps to ride and get used to the steeper takeoffs. I have heard of places like soetvlei and lakeside but those jumps are to advanced for my level and I'm looking for a place with easy beginner dirt jumps if there is such a place in Cape Town which exists.

UCT trails. Above the Kapona residence below the M3 highway.

 

Be nice to the locals and offer to dig some dirt and you'll be mates in no time.

 

There's also the Uitsig bike park.

 

Out Stellenbosch way, G-Land is also well suited to beginners.

Yeah I've been to G-land and Uitsig bike park on my full sus but I'll go check out UCT jumps sometime they just look intimidating

those aren't dirt jumps, they're just a selection of different sized tables. Dirt jumps have far steeper faces and landings than any of the jumps there, apart from maybe the pro line.

G Land and UCT probably the best for DJ progression. G land more so 'cos there are all sizes.

A tabletop is still a dirt jump if its made from dirt
