Had a good time with you guys.

Its amazing seeing some of you going from barely being able to stand on  the bike to riding the cones and u-turns like pros. I had a great time. Glad you guys enjoyed the farm so much.

The farm and training was awesome. That black mud.... Mmmmmm, not so much!  ;D

Will be back to Nelsons Creek, that is for sure.

Twas my third time to Nelson's Creek
the first two times were for weddings and this time for bike training. I enjoyed this time the most but I must admit that the people's fashion sense were better at the weddings.

Great farm with awesome views!
the instructors were very cool too. They didn't behave like sergeant-majors so we did the exercises over and over again not because we were ordered to but because we wanted to.
But I must admit that a full hour riding up and down through cones in the heat really killed my clutch wrist. I actually had to ride away once or twice to get some airflow over the red hot radiator. Kobus almost went on strike ;D

hehe, working on it... APPARENTLY, the best place to practice is a tar road... (mmm, i was hoping for a softer wipe-out area) and APPARENTLY it takes about 2 years to be really good at it... SO, i will be the idiot going 20km/h, dropping throttle and then opening up again in an effort to lift my front wheel on the way to work on the N1 everyday...

Firstly, thanks to Etienne and the trainers , the day was gr8. I still want to ask Leon something . He took us on all the trails on the farm but I can't remember passing the Nelsons Creek Station, because this morning I could not get out of bed and it feels like a train must have moered over my entire body.
About the training , I learned so much from Leon and my fellow WD . One thing that I learned from Tazz is that you can have to much grip from you handles , so much that you left hand get stuck . Budd, hope that shoulder heels soon .

Bus , looks like you need to update your "ATGATT" by getting a Ballbox.

My day started by my bike being hungry for a days ride.........so hungry it ate my farken hand!!!!!!

Buy her a bike NOW before the fire goes out.

BTW do you still want the helmet for your daughter?

 

[Blackballl]

Oohh ja somebody left there black (I think K-way) top on the roof of the Tucson . It must be a Lady's as it is a small.
Laat weet maar

A big thank you to Etienne for organizing this event :laughing4:

was nice to meet new faces, Leon, Daniel and our instructor Wayne - you guys are amazing & SO talented ;D  (sorry for names i may have missed here, too many people to remember).

i enjoyed EVERY moment of the training, it was quite tiring near the end.  This was my first training course and i definately learnt a huge amount.....the cone riding, figure of eights, picking up our bikes, and more -  the outrides we did where we applied what we learnt - invaluable lessons!!!

those dark muddy sections, the off-camber hill with a sharp left..... :biggrin:

hope to be able to do another training course like this again soon, was excellent!

 

[KAT-WP]

Liza gave a WD buff to me, who's is it, so i can arrange to get it to you. Speak quick, ive always wanted one!

cheers Etienne, i will pick up from Bus :thumleft:

 

[GO GIRL]

Looks like a lot of fun had and that muddy ditch has seen many a WD down and wet...

Thats a very deceiving obstacle that one....

and yes that off camber 1 Kat... has 'thrown' many a curved ball!!!

its always ADDDDDED value a course like that... :biggrin: :biggrin:



Nelson's Creek makes a great value in that it is close by

Nxt time around i shall be there!!!!
