Thermophage Posted November 1, 2010 Share Ye Craig, that section of the course is smooth Well...a LOT of it is, but then there's a serious rock garden at the start and some heavily rooty places and a STEEEEEEP rock slope as well which can be scary coming into at speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted November 1, 2010 Share Thermo: do us a favor and vid the whole track as u did those jumps. I want folks to post up more vids of tracks. It's almost useless just talking about tracks. Really find it frustrating Edited November 1, 2010 by Capricorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowta Posted November 1, 2010 Share ok, so here's the link excuse the editing, first time using Adobe Premiere  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2hYplNMPN0 What camera(s) were you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermophage Posted November 1, 2010 Share What camera(s) were you using?  Olympus Tough 8010.Takes 720p video, but it is not great when mounted on the handlebars (foam tape + cable ties make a decent mounting).The side view vid came out rather nicely though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder Posted November 2, 2010 Share Thermophage: thats an awesome vid dude!!!! Nice, really. Cool track as well, how long is the ride more or less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder Posted November 2, 2010 Share what bike you riding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermophage Posted November 2, 2010 Share Hey bro, it's a Specialized Enduro Comp 2010 model.Actually an "all-mountain", but hey...that kinda makes it more fun  The track is by Chromium (ex P.E., now JHB band) called Ex Amino (think thats spelled right). As for the course...hmmm...if you can do all 4 jumps and ride reasonable quick I think a little over 4 min, maybe a little less. I have never timed myself, but should have tonight...I think the top guys get around 3min15s or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder Posted November 2, 2010 Share Nice. You hail from PE? I left there a few years ago myself. Looks like a really cool ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermophage Posted November 2, 2010 Share Yeah, P.E. born n bread...and keen to go back...although there is pretty much nowhere to ride dh there ;( this track in George is pretty awesome though and we wanna build more too. You coming here this weekend for the social comp?

Stryder Posted November 2, 2010 Share ? No-one tells me these things! No unfortunately not. Not sure where a person could carve a trail in PE. Down Brickmakers Kloof somewhere?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermophage Posted November 2, 2010 Share There lank places in PE...lots in Sherwood, out behing OLD PnP by Rowellan Park, revamp the old track there by MOffet Park, tonnes o places in the Baakens, although it may not be a v long track.Then out Woodridge way there should be place, or Longmore, or even back end of Westering as well...Just need the ppl dedicated to help build  How many PE DHillers ya guys know of? Craig82, you probably best to ask on this one?

Stryder Posted November 2, 2010 Share Jeez!! Quite a few places I had forgotten about. Come to think of it even the bushes behind Bridgmeade looking out towards Uitenhage (more or less). Never ride MTB in PE at all, only started MTB 2007 and DH type end last year/begining this year. Next time I go back to see folks and outlaws I might take the bike along.
