BIG meeting this afternoon with the earthmoving Guys - they want to start on thurs!!!! - sweet

[nigelhicks]

new images of the bottom part of the DH course are up go have a check in my gallery.

 

but just one to get you crying - the off camber section near the bottom of the track - there is insane spectator access in this area and the riders will be f..ing off into this section so should end up very interesting when we have added some rocks into the track.

So how is this track coming along? I think a roadtrip for the Gauteng guys is in order

Can't wait, We are making a road trip from CT for this event. I've already serviced the cowbell just counting the days now.

excellent point there about the cowbell. I find ZA fans less likely to make stoke, aka noise alongside the track. Hope ppl rock up not only with vuvus,but also pans, discarded rims, and cowbells..

Even Obama agrees..
