RocknRolla Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 You will have quite a "rush" if you take a tumble down one of the edges.........LOL.... Rush off to hospital.
L.T.G Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 Dont take it personally, Different strokes and all that.The river is awesome..but it doesnt give me quite the rush that cliffhanger does...different rushes for me.I'd still like to be able to ride the whole of cliff hanger there're a couple spots that always catch me out. mtbride 1
Grey Hubs Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Never ridden VG . I know...missing out. This year for sure! Any video footage of someone riding these hair-raising sections?
Bomberman Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 And the Cliff Hanger ... scares me every time we ride it. I have yet to ride the whole section in one go due to the sheer craziness of it.It gets better once you fall off, trust me I have done it before. Cleats are not a good idea there.
mtbride Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Never ridden VG . I know...missing out. This year for sure! Any video footage of someone riding these hair-raising sections? Nope, none that I have, but just go and check it out, walk it or ride then, but go, it's a damn scary experience. Just fall left if you do fall! Edited January 15, 2016 by Kraggie
mtbride Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 different rushes for me.I'd still like to be able to ride the whole of cliff hanger there're a couple spots that always catch me out. Mostly that steep climb once through the gate ... and then a bit on over the rock garden
Bomberman Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Never ridden VG . I know...missing out. This year for sure! Any video footage of someone riding these hair-raising sections? at about 32s also 1.20s Edited January 15, 2016 by Bomberman mtbsmurf and CogitoErgoSum 2
Grey Hubs Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Damn! Now that looks challenging. Yip some tight turns on the edge there! Probably the type of trail I need to ride to up my game! Thanks for the video. I need to make a plan!
L.T.G Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 Mostly that steep climb once through the gate ... and then a bit on over the rock gardenyes (gate climb) and then the,, um summit , let;s call it.. there's a rather rideable little drop, but the flippen height of trail throws off my ability to ride... that and the patty in my broek!
CogitoErgoSum Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 at about 32s also 1.20sHectic. Had similar sections at Ashburton Clarens last year that was compulsory portages. I have to go and ride VG!
Pikey Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) is this the entrance to that cliffhanger section... We were to tired and had heard it was tricky. Looking at that video we were right???? But vg has something for everyone one...and the river section at speed when you don't know where your going is a blast. Couldn't wipe the smile of my face.

Pikey Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Hope that works.... Not working? Edited January 16, 2016 by Pikey
