The Ouzo Posted April 8, 2021 Share Up North, it’s been an arm warmer ride for the last few weeks. #skinnyokesyeah, walked outside this morning and vapour cloud out the mouth with every breath. Strangley did not feel that cold (cold enough for arm warmers though). Was also pretty dark at 6am, sun only showed itself around 6:30 Frosty and Long Wheel Base 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Gordo Posted April 8, 2021 Share Banhoek pretending that this is no biggie... Screenshot_20210404-213033.png I was there on Monday. People treated that berm as an amphitheater, A few guys came down and used the berm as another jump never mind that there were people standing behind it. I hope they can extend the height of the berm with wood maybe, so that people have to turn right after that jump.

I am guilty of also jumping the berm after the gap and ending in the tall grass by the fence . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Stewart Posted April 8, 2021 Share my bike took me to destination ****** today Ow...nice run though. I liked that jump better when it was still a bit of a gap/drop/step-down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbr Posted April 8, 2021 Share Ow...nice run though. I liked that jump better when it was still a bit of a gap/drop/step-downhaha thanks, my tyres were still at 30psi from riding my bike on the road last night, I was like "go easy on this warmup lap, drop the pressure a bit at the bottom"... not sure I would have saved it with the extra front grip anyways, I tried though !But I can see I had a couple warnings on the previous jumps with the same crosswind. I tried not to get too much air but it was still enough to get caught by the wind and run out of talent. Front rim is fine, the bars turned around the steerer that probably saved me from a costly last minute carbon wheel replacement ! Left ear a bit sore, might have a bit of a punctured ear drum. Broken helmet but I don't think I have a concussion, more worried about my ankle. hopefully I can be back on the horse on saturday to build some confidence again !

BSG Posted April 8, 2021 Share Arm Warmers RequiredIMG_4370.jpegYesterday on my ride I decided to put my summer (sun protection [emoji41])arm warmers on (luckily) and it was chilly with them. Will certainly use my real arm warmers now when cycling early mornings or late afternoons. 'Dale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheez I just turned the playback speed down to 0.25 and watched that jump again... Couple of things stand out: The wind really grabbed you hard and pushed you off the line fast.That big rock at the bottom just waiting for you to headbutt it...you sure you missed it? In fact I was actually considering for a moment riding there late yesterday arvie but noticed the wind and decided to skip instead. Last time I tried riding a techie trail in the wind I ended up with a broken arm and some serious concussion also due to being pushed off the line by a gust. All in all you're mighty lucky to come off relatively unscathed from that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
