Town mission a big success.

Well if you weren't there you missed out. No footage was taken on the day as everyone was riding. Good stuff went down and some great spots were sessioned. About 25 riders came through from all over Cape Town and I think everyone had a good time. Standouts were (in no order) Clemi, Savage, Killian, Scott, Josh, Grant, Zane, Kim, Brandon, Ruan, Eddie, Jacque and some others who names I don't know/remember.

We all met at H-street and were glad to fine that the fence around the red statue has gone and made for a good warm up spot with a dual level manual pad setup. Of coarse the stairs got a work out too. Around the corner someone found some knee high jersey barriers that got a good beating too. 360's, 180's and grinds were in effect.

Next we hit the Artscape opera house and got a good 15 min session on the stairs and ledges there. Security was good and only asked us to leave once someone with a mic in his hand complained that the people inside were watching us and not him. Killian did an ace Icepick across the flat ledge.

Sharks is always a fun spot and the usual tricks went down there too, as well as Tibault Square. Savage nailed a great nollie 360 down the "big four" before we got ask to leave there too.

Then we headed of to CapeTech to the "Drop that Eddie Tailwhipped". So little people know about this spot but they've seen the photo on my FB and were glad to finally see/ride it in person. It got a heavy session from everyone but Scott shut it down with Tuck nohander, Tire grab, Toboggan, nofooted cancan and a turndown. Grant and Savage 360'ed it and Eddie barspun off the side. Best spot of the day?

We finished off with a session at the CapeTech ledge across the road. Killian did a good febble and Zane double pegged it after a few crashes. Big up to both of them.

Thanks to the 20 or so guys that came through for the ride. I think the next one will be even bigger and there are loads of spots that we didn't get too this time. I've already started planning for the next ride and it will be the first week of Jan, when everyone has recovered from New Years. Spread the word and lets make this one even better.

  2. Thats the plan. Town does get abit played out so we'll space the missions out abit and try not to hit the same places too often. Next mission is Gardens and upper town area.
