Long Wheel Base Posted January 24, 2023 Share Jeez glad he didn’t hit the dog. I assume that is a normal bike trail, why would that one be standing there knowing bikes will come flying over the jump. Brawler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Stewart Posted January 25, 2023 Share I was sending it down the Banhoek Cape Cobra line earlier last year and as I came around a corner and flung myself in the air on a blind double I noticed two ladies standing right about where I was going to land. Now, I'm 1.88m and pushing 125kg. Lucky for them I managed to plant the bike between them without hitting them. I will admit that I was beyond furious at them afterwards though. I might have let them know how much of a moron they were being.

You don't know what you don't know, and there are MTBers who couldn't point out a jump line if there was prize money on the table.

But then, there's no one so blind as someone who refuses to see. ChrisF and Piernas Flacas 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there were 2 guys there and 2 bikes, They are MTB's not hikers !!! Should have known better. So I stand by my point, both of them are idiots for "camping out" at that spot. I agree with @droo he was lucky to come away with only a broken ankle. Not that a broken ankle is a walk in the park, it took me more than 6 months to sort of recover from mine.

mazambaan Posted January 26, 2023 Share Rider is lucky the dogs didn't settle into him, even licking to death. I am a little paranoid cowardly in my old age on a bike and mbike on two way single track, even jeep track or gravel road. Too many head ons.

Mine took at least 6 months to get to some semi-semblance of normality. 16 months after breaking mine, I am still having issues every now and then.

Frosty Posted January 26, 2023 Share Assuming it’s a cellphone in the non-rider’s hand, it goes down as a cellphone-related accident. I wonder how many there are of those, in all incidents? Friggen hate seeing people being distracted by their phone, while possibly endangering other people’s lives. mazambaan, Piernas Flacas, TheoG and 1 other 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
