Rule 1 make sure shoe laces are tied Rule 2 don't jump when you dont have decent training Rule 3 don't delay the bike service you know was supposed to be done. I still had fun though. It also gave me some good practice on how to carry on if stuff goes wrong. Ps this is why I carry a back pack with spares. Should add a spare Tyre. PS these incedent.s were not related to each other. okay, I'll be the only honest bloke and admit this made me laugh. the way you get better at jumping, strangely is by jumping. That line looks super fun. Where is it? ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That line looks super fun. Where is it? Wolwespruit. They built kick.... Lines some I was there in 2019. Yes agree. You need to fall get up and go again. PS. I went back 3 times after the fall. But my wheel gave me issues so I gave up went home and redid everything tape slime valve and sommer bearings. Debating to go again tomorrow. But the arms are a bit stiff from the workoit. Funny I do some physical labor at work. But I still get tired arms at wolwespruit. That place give you a good mtb all round workout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have everything on that bike double checked. A crank coming loose like that could have resulted in a serious injury. Glad it didn't though.

That place give you a good mtb all round workout Well done for going again. Arm pump is a thing when doing jumps. I find that if I don't ride a particular type of terrain such as flow lines for a while, or the inverse of It spend too much time only riding technical trails, or only jumps, then I tend to get arm pump. Luckily it resolves itself quickly for me and the next time I ride that line in usually fine. This is coming up at the Leatt Skills Park by Hoogekraal. Time to level up soon again.

Thomo Posted May 1, 2023 Share Last ride was 2 weeks or so before CTCT so took quite a bit of effort, but the view makes it all worthwhile. 'Dale, daveno7, Chadvdw67 and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
