Amazing Downhill Track... Not in SA :(

[PhilipV]

 

Thats sweet' date=' and incredibly well maintained, we can only hope and dream that some private land owner, perhaps of a large estate in Somerset West would allow something like that to be built. [/quote']

 

Like what they wanted to do in Lourensford?

That idea just kind of got lost in the wind...

Oh man, that is just incredible. Fantastic. It makes me realise just what a ponce I am when negotiating single track at 3kph! I need to get a life (and some bigger BALLS )

I bet if they fall off and get hirt they don't want to sue the builders.

 

Ha ha.

 

Ride at your own risk.

 

That trail is super cool, looks like something that could be built at Sabie or pilgrims rest in the plantations.

It's a combination of both aspects really' date=' no? There were some serious downhill sections there.

Yes there are, but going downhill racing does not include all those tricky bits. Freeriding is about jumps and fun and downhill is to get to the bottom as fast as possible. You do not get the discipline "free riding" in a competition.

 

Er, yes you do.  It's called slopestyle.
