Mitch21 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Ya Jason and Angus were there. Jason practiced a lot. I basically never practiced at all because my brake pads were shot, but I got new ones now. So all my practice will be done tomorrow Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/47422-the-downhill-thread/page/142/#findComment-927949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch21 Posted January 16, 2010 Share The tricky sections.... There is one section which is quite tricky, its like a cascade of rocks. There is two steep ledges that you go down and then land straight into a turn. The rest is reaaallly fun! The track is awesome! There is a roadgap, awesome jumps, a nice tabletop, and sweet berms at the bottom Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/47422-the-downhill-thread/page/142/#findComment-927951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted January 16, 2010 Share y'all clear the roadgaps? hopefully there are chicken runs aroudn some of the trickier stuff, cos if this damn fever doesnt break, my depth perception is going to be in the toilet... I've heard about that ledge ledge corner section. Apparently some folks (pottie really) doubles it and jumping straight into the corner.Capricorn2010-01-16 12:15:03 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/47422-the-downhill-thread/page/142/#findComment-927953 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrussell Posted January 16, 2010 Share ok so road gap tomorrow! im sure that gap will save you at least 2 seconds time, that chicken run is slow, and when you ride it fast, you fly off into the forest. i nearly hit a camera man, but i think he got an awesome shot of me holding an insane drift, both wheels for about 5 meters down the slope lol. ill try get there early aswell Mitch, can I grab youre cell number? then ill call you and we can meet up. Cap: PLEASE get better and be there tomorrow its such a fun track, its nice and flowy and fast! much less technical than Tokai and you can really open up there, and i remember you telling me you like flow and speed.
