DownhillingKing Posted June 2, 2010 Author Posted June 2, 2010 Cap could you please send me the directions to the Jonkershoek track. GPS co ordinate would be great if you have them.
Capricorn Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 DHK: check your email. sent you directions + GPS coords. btw: contacted Eric and bought the full res images. rawrsom!
DownhillingKing Posted June 2, 2010 Author Posted June 2, 2010 Nice! Ja seen my e-mail thanks. So are you going to join us at jonkershoek on Sat?
Capricorn Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 what time u gonna be there? but you know the story with me and sat I could barely make the practice runs last sat. only managed 2 flipping rides. apparently. shuttles improved after a bunch of guys left after 2pm, as I did. was bummed. the runs wold definitely ahve helped a huge amount.you guys shold have some solid weather for sat njoi,
DownhillingKing Posted June 2, 2010 Author Posted June 2, 2010 But this is a special Sat is a Sat that everyone goes screw work I'm going riding! We going to be there from around 11:00 till 16:00 even later maybe. Haha Jason and I were discussing before the race weekend on what times we should get to jonkers and he said around 1 as people will get tired so the shuttles will become empty.
Capricorn Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 yeah. for sure. i went in the dead zone anyways, you guys are gonna have a massive blast. super super fun track probably one of the best tracks to play follow me on..
DownhillingKing Posted June 2, 2010 Author Posted June 2, 2010 Cap we really don't mind you can let the lights on Sat go out for about 6 hours or so. Just get out and ride dude! Your bike is like older than me and still looks new!
Capricorn Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 New? get off the shrooms dude. no it doesnt. ?And dont mock my sled boy. *mock anger* but seriously,i really wish i could go. hell, i have to 'book' in advance just to make it to SLoP at the end of this month besides, Uncle Blatter will see your Jonkers track and raise you a World Cup, cos he wants the lights on, even during the day. So..what time you really gonna bail from Jonkers? 11h00 - 16h00 without a shuttle is a damn long time. That track is pretty long to push up on till the very start of the race track. You could very easily session the bit between the road gaps. It's staggeringly good as it's gravity powered, and not so much pedalling.Oh and dont fall near 'that' section. You will know it when you see what's just off to the side. ahahhah
DownhillingKing Posted June 2, 2010 Author Posted June 2, 2010 Whats on the other side????Yup 11h00-16h-00 or it not worth it.
Capricorn Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 on the other side? well... hahah. i will let you see for yourself. yeah. the longer the better. I totally agree with you. Just take lotsa water and snacks. lotsa places to stash your rucksacks.also, watch out for the XCers. some roll down the track. shout real hard, cos they almost all sport ear buds. This one dude couldnt/didnt even want to hear the diesel truck roaring up behind him. We had to stop and wait till he eventually split off on another road. honestly. w.t.f.
DownhillingKing Posted June 3, 2010 Author Posted June 3, 2010 Cliff? Sticks? Glass? Ja will do, I mean I'm going with Alex he will bring a pick nick basket along. Did you hoot? Wow he must of felt like an idiot.
Flowta Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 If anyone is wanting some DH tyres, let me knowhttps://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=86847&PID=1193134#1193134
Capricorn Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 heyall. I had 2 hours to burn, so I grabbed my toolbag and headed for the hills. Slashed out the beginnings of the new line on signal hill between the fire roads. It's the existing straight line i've been moaning about. Trying to use the natural features in that area as best I can. So today, broomed in an off camber turn ending in a sizable drop. The drop has a landing, but abruptly ends (drop to stop), so dont say you werent warned There is a natural chicken run for those who dont fancy the drop to stop On the fire road, I've left a little mound of rocks to denote the start. As you drop in, careful of the little exposed stump jutting out from the left. Snag a tire on that and your sidewall might not do too well.Been thinking about where to take that drop to, and what to do about the existing straight line down to teh next fire road. I have some ideas, and for those who are used to running that line, again: dont say you weren't warned. Simultaneously, dont stress when u see what jumps up in the next few weeks/months. There is always a chicken run somewhere but I need some help with ideas and/or blood,sweat and cooldrinks If anyone game for some labour, or an idea. send me a PM.
Capricorn Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 some pics. soz for qual (mobile cam) + absolutely pathetic size restriction of the hub. (honestly. fix this size crap gidddammit!) wtf. i cant add images? jeez. talk about going down the toilet. fuggit.going the painful route on this one: little mound of rocks where the track starts (actually, it's a small portion of the full track to come.)Capricorn2010-06-05 15:43:34
Capricorn Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 start of little corner (which will be modified later to be a proper berm. I might just leave the off camber so riders will end up making the berm themselves sliding all over the place corner exit, crosses existing track, and heads for a little drop.
