The steel one with a shock and a fork and some wheels?. Also the one that will only be used to 10% of its capabilities🤣 i might actually go better on my Wolverine now that i think about it….haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bos Posted September 12, 2022 Share Finally got to do a proper recce of the Gnar on Saturday. We did a bit of on foot inspection of a couple of the pluming and thoroughly enjoyed piecing it together. Only to miss half of them when I eventually did come down. The top was a bit moist, and although conditions were prime, I lost the front and almost ate it in a berm. One forgets how many switchbacks there are between the drop at the top, and where the actual rocks begin.. Definately made me think of other front tires. The big surprise of the day was the DH track. Its my first time down that thing of beauty.. OH MY, how much fun?? I mean its kind of obvious as its a DH course, but how fast can one go on that thing!?? May very well be my new favorite trail in Jonkers. Then went up and did Iron Monkey. That trail beat me up a bit by then as We'd been out there for 4 hours. I was just surviving, although the trail, in general is also in good condition.. so we did 25km and 1150m climb.. all I can say is, Im a little nervous for the big day. Tracks are all so kiff though.. Im Excited! Meezo, Rock Guy and MORNE 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably wouldnt be the case if i got to do some recce runs myself…but at this stage i’m going in blind. Dont have the time to get that side. ill just take it easy , thats why im coming…so i can learn from you lot 😅 ☠️ Meezo, Rock Guy and Headshot 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of plumber is easy enough to find a way through the rocks or see the general line. There is one section though, where you should just trust that there will be a trail on the other side of a pile of rocks. ^^ right here (from the course preview). My nemesis. Just channel your inner Chris Akrigg and all will be fine. Edited September 12, 2022 by Rock Guy typos and reference MORNE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
