xamnam Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Did this section this afternoon, first time in a while I know this little section well from the wooden bridge to the lower gravel road. I predict above normal crashes on this section this year. Its powdery, dry and loose. The section has been worked on but if anything it’s made it even more of a challenge. Normal flow has been disrupted and at pace it’s now a nice little technical challenge. I fear a few not so tech savvy epic riders will come undone on this section. I know where I am spectating come Sunday ????

sirmoun10goat Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 I fear a few not so tech savvy epic riders will come undone on this section.I know where I am spectating come Sunday Are you going to watch the pro's show us how it's done, or to watch people crash?
Vetseun Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Are you going to watch the pro's show us how it's done, or to watch people crash?I am sure he is going to watch both because that is exactly what is going to happen.
Jewbacca Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 I love this about Mountain Biking. How one man's trash is a other man's treasure, one man's basic addition is another man's Collatz Conjecture.... The pro's make this such a non event. It's way more fun watching the back markers slide down on their bums.

Whatsup! Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Any suggestions for going to watch with two little one?If I park along the Cable Station road, will we still get to a good spot. Plumb Pudding will probably too far to get too.
reteid Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 where would be the best place to go and watch the action live? prefer to stay away from the crowds at start finnish.

DJR Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 where would be the best place to go and watch the action live? prefer to stay away from the crowds at start finnish.I'd vote for Dead Mans Tree on Tafelberg Road.
SCD Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Went there this morning. Fast and fun as usual but oh my god so dusty. Almost saw my own ass. But the usually rough exit has been brushed up nicely.So if the Epic newbies take it on slowly they will be fine
MTBeer Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 this seems about appropriate for here https://twitter.com/_RushSports_/status/974621874763296774The first okes super good the second okes super k a k
Grease_Monkey Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 I doubt this is the way most riders will be tackling the prologue...
Grease_Monkey Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 That is some skill set. Yep, those two know how to ride a bike down a hill!
