I always wanted to be a stunt man and jump off some stuff and I did! It's not that high but it gives me a good feeling. (Always start small)

Ek sê dit nou in afrikaans, dit was kak lekker!




 
Good for starters. Next time, take it slow, take a tent, think about life and keep the bike in one piece. You are on the right track. My heart almost did not make it. :biggrin:

Boetie, jou pa gaan jou gatvelle aftrek as jy daardie bike so deur jou gat trek >:D
My Pa het my vertel,"my seun, sulke goed gebeur, mens leer uit jou foute! Jy betaal net vir jou eie skade!" :thumleft:
 
Cool stuff, goeie begin, teen die tyd wat jy so oud soos die res hier is, mag jy dalk 'n paar in die roll of honour hê

Daar is basies net 1 foto wat my laat sal verlang na die plek, ek heg hom aan.
Verder is dit nie vir my cool om fotos van quarrygate en klipformasies te sien nie.

Keep it up.

Thanks for sharing !  You certainly don't lack spunk  >:D
 
I wanted to tell you people how the fall happend, i came down the mountain and tried something realy stupid, i geared to neutral and switched the bike off to see if i could get past a dog that always barks at me when my roaring nxr comes past, so i went down and saw that there was a VERY sharp turn. I was too afraid to turn and I went down a grassy field thing with lots of wasted material, ok, i went down the grassy thing and saw a huge rock in front of me, i hit the front break hard and bam!

Dis nie die storie wat ek gehoor het nie :pot:
 
I ended up with bits of glass in my side, stuck deep in my skin and also a lot of cuts around the middle of my body, was worth the fall!;-)
