mikesnorth Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Took me like 4 bailed run-ins to do that one too."Chipping away!!!"
nigelhicks Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 progress! today I finally hit an obstacle at Majik Forest that I've been checking out for a long time, but never had the courage to hit! Those that know the spot will realise the photo doesn't do justice to how scary these rocks are from the top for a noob like me AAH but which line did you take off theose? if you are coming in from the windy singletrack above it its a pain to try go through the gully on teh right of the shot. the first time i rode it i just popped onto the bigh rock (on the left of the shot) and rolled off the large rocks below. Fast and Smooth ...
nathrix Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Good to see you haven't fallen on your head or dropped as a child like that other 41 year old noob
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 progress! today I finally hit an obstacle at Majik Forest that I've been checking out for a long time, but never had the courage to hit! Those that know the spot will realise the photo doesn't do justice to how scary these rocks are from the top for a noob like me I also broke my personal best beacon-to-parking time, from 7 minutes to 6:43. Feeling confident now! Have yet to take my new bike to Contermanskloof though so that's next on the agenda! Is that the little section just by the bridge? If it is - I LOVE that section! Just hit and fly...
nigelhicks Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Is that the little section just by the bridge? If it is - I LOVE that section! Just hit and fly...nort its right up at the top of Majik ... you ride up to the fence line and as you start going down you get onto a windy singletrack and its in that. Pretty cool section. Hit it straight out "blind" ridng with a mate last time i was down there ... he shat himself cus i just dissappeared off those rocks. Sweet
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 ah. Must go there again!
nigelhicks Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 im down there next week for work for the week! keen to ride in teh PM after graft??? cus im bringing my bike
wesley_r Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 so I had a nice little setback yesterday - messing around on the CWC track, hit a right hander on one of the downward sloping bits, lost the bike in the corner and smacked into the rock garden, head first. lots of scrapes and bruises, but more importantly a nice concussion - even though I was pretty alert and aware when it happened, as soon as the adrenaline wore off I had severe dizziness, followed by a headache, nausea, tiredness, etc. Doc insisted on a CT scan, but thank God everything is fine. Myself, and my ego, are just seriously bruised. O and my brake lever is bent. Bah!
'Dale Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 it has been 2 hours since my last ride. Haha!
