The Ghost Posted October 2, 2012 Share Thanks L.T.G.Is it more rocky than the greek church descent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted October 2, 2012 Share nope...about the same, although the greek church descent is shorter. The toughest descent at VG is oom piets imo...I cracked an ali frame there once. Daggapad is just awesome. The best route at vg is daggapad out...tant miems...oom piets...greek church...river. give you about 50 odd km I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robodog Posted October 2, 2012 Share Thanks L.T.G.Is it more rocky than the greek church descent? Is it all very rideable if you follow the basic techniques. The technicality comes with the speed of descent. DR ◣◢ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghost Posted October 2, 2012 Share Is it all very rideable if you follow the basic techniques. The technicality comes with the speed of descent. Are you saying that the faster you go the more tricky it becomes, or that the more speed you carry the easier it becomes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robodog Posted October 2, 2012 Share At SSWC it descended like a homesick mole! That descent was awesome. I'd forgotten just how good my HT GT was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divernick Posted October 2, 2012 Share I've got major SSWC withdrawal symptoms! LOL, me too! I'm kinda like, what now? It was THE main event of 2012 for me. Maybe we should do a reunion SS gathering somewhere, sometime soon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.T.G Posted October 5, 2012 Share Are you saying that the faster you go the more tricky it becomes, or that the more speed you carry the easier it becomes? Richard.... did you manage to find Daggapad? if so, how as it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Posted October 5, 2012 Share Richard.... did you manage to find Daggapad? if so, how as it?Sadly our maid / nanny had a calendar failure and took this Wednesday off instead of next. Needless to say this left us in a state, and going for a ride was not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.T.G Posted October 11, 2012 Share Thanks L.T.G.Is it more rocky than the greek church descent? Richard, here's a bit of an idea what you can expect from DaggaPad... that's IF you can make out what's going on here..I've edited one other video recorded on my GoPro , I've still got lots to learn.I sped this up a touch too much, ok perhaps tons too much, but i was trying to get the whole route in without it becoming boring...my camera was also pointing a pube's width too low! ok ok way way too low.. anyway hope it helps.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMZCuF4zHWs&feature=relmfu Edited October 11, 2012 by L.T.G The Ghost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Posted October 11, 2012 Share Thanks.I only watched the first 2:30 and then the room started bouncing, but it doesnt look as bad as the Greek Church decent, although it could be an illusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no illusion.. it's a horrible video I'll rework it and even if a bit longer, I'll slow it down so all can see better without getting motion sickness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.T.G Posted October 13, 2012 Share Trails must be nice and tacky after the rain...Recce tomorrow..SS all the way. Brewskies after...good way to spend a Saturday morning. They're pristine rouxtjie... if there's no more rain today, the miniscule amount of mud that was there this morning should be dry.... Hope I HTFU by next week.. SS'ed as usual, but almost burst a poo poo valve up concrete road, which is normally doable (never easy!) till i lose it on the loose rocks a bit, but today I was stuffed !
