Where is this?
I have a similar relationship with my brakes!😂
hahahahah
Hey Warren. Thanks for the awesome content, Love the channel. Just a note for you to Check the volume when speaking into the mic. It was very low and really had to crank the volume up on the hifi to hear. Keep up the amazing work
Thanks for the feedback, I'll make sure to do a volume check before filming next time. Think we might have been a bit hasty getting this one out. Thank you for watching!!
Rode it this past weekend. Got a PB without even trying to ride fast. Its much better. I do have one request though, If you guys could pass on a whisper into the builders ears. Can we get a transfer between bottom of Cobra and the Welvege A frame? I'd love to be able to get into the mini gorge/river run to patricks without doing Welverge, its just to boring.
It's always great to hear someone had a great time on it! Will definitely pass on the message for you!!
Totally agreed, I rode the bottom section the other day and it's so good. I've been riding this piece of forest for 25 years, and this is by far the best it's been!!!!
Sounds like you've seen a lot of changes over the years! Glad you're stoked!
so much fun listening to Melissa commenting on her riding, but owning it!
She was really having a good time! hahahaha
Looks super fun! Loving Melissa's energy! Thank you guys for making these videos. Living in Knysna your videos are a go to source for me when we are planning a visit to the Cape Town area. Keep then coming!😄💥
Thanks, we're super stoked you enjoy the videos! Hope to see you in the Cape soon. Thank you for all the support!!!
Melissa really had fun on that one
She had the best time. But with a trail like that, who wont!
What's the up section like? Cos this looks way too lekker to miss!
Its not bad at all. Its a mix of some single track and jeep track.
Definitely going to check it out this weekend. Thnx for another lekker video guys.
Super stoked you are going to go check it out!
So much potential and they go build a kiddy flow trail. Typical Bennet 🤦♂️
I think there is a place for every trail. its really a great piece of trail and super well built. It definitely caters to the masses and Bennet and the STF should be commended.
@@WarrenMelissaGoRiding I agree that the trail is well built, and caters to the 90% that do not frequent lines like Hoogekraal Hammer, Tokai DH4 or Plaisir, and I do applaud Bennet and the STF for that. I think what jboy9504 is getting at is that we are being spoilt in the Cape with the awesome selection of advanced jump lines. To my thinking, while watching you ride, I was stoked for you guys, but at the same time I just didn't get that sense of "oh my gosh I have to ride this trail". It's almost like the magic is gone. Too much of a good thing. I am even experiencing that at the locals around Tygerberg. Nothing entices me anymore. Just more of the same old same old.
Fair enough, completely understand. Out of interest sake, if you could build a trail, what would that trail look like? We really like different peoples views :)
@@WarrenMelissaGoRiding Take this line for example. I would not change much. Maybe a A and B-line with some bigger jumps, maybe some skinnys, a few rock rolls, the odd drop-off that progressively gets bigger. I would prefer a trail that is rideable by the masses to allow them to grow into it, but also add more of a challenge to established riders to also keep them coming back. If you take the Leatt Skills Park at Hoogies as an example, it prepares one to ride the lower part of the Hammer, and then outside of that line there is nowhere else that makes the same impact. I would honestly want more variety and technical type of riding, but being in the vast minority of that riding style in the Cape, its probably a pipe-dream. You look at a typical enduro race around here. Same people, same trails each time. No wonder it is not growing as a sport. Its as if the trails cater for the majority at the exclusion of the minority.
@@kvanniekerk3792 Come join us in George for Witfontein next year, you will LOVE it!
Wow! Looks insane. Can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for the video guys 👌🏻
It's an absolute must-do!
Killer trail. Breaks your body haha. Especially wheb you're a middle aged blubbery ebiker like me 😂
That's a great way to put it! We in the same boat hahahaha
Hi where is this
This is Eden forest in Stellenbosch South Africa. Beautiful piece of nature!
Has Eden finally been repaired?? Thats awesome! Or is this an old video?
Its been repaired, check out our youtube channel for the full video. You going to love it!!
Pacific Blue was the jam!!! Nice potgooi gents. Thanks
Thanks, we are feeling pretty stoked about it too!
Pottie is a true South African mountain biking LEGEND
He really is. Was so good to have him on the couch!!!
Can we still go ride Jonkershoek this weekend or is the trails closed? And due to event being canceled
Unfortunately the park is still closed. The damage was quite extensive :(
Lost your glasses at 10min, rip
Melissa was behind me and saw it fall. Thank goodness it was not damaged :)
Sad the event got cancelled
Super sad, we have been putting in so much work!
Go Melisssaaaaaaaa!!!!
She killed it!!
At the day of the event, are there stuff to do for the family if you bring them along
They usually have a few stalls, but the park is beautiful to walk in
Oh yes🔥
Thank you
Madness!
speed is your friend
You learn that very quickly hahaha
That line was previously mark as double black on trail forks don't know why now its only black, especially Plummer 1, makes black rhino look like a blue line, maybe after a few time it start to get beter
Yes, it most definitely gets better the more you do it. Super sad the event was cancelled :(
@@WarrenMelissaGoRiding Was quite looking forward to ride, have to wait for next year,, wanted to try the power stage, can't really practice it in normal conditions, I wonder when wil there be more ebike type events with more technical climbs and stuff
How does this compare to Tokai DH0?
There are definitely similarities between Tokai DH0 and Plumber 2 - like how big the rocks are that you need to navigate around/over. I would however rate DH0 easier, as it is easier to carry speed since its practically all downhill. The moment that you go too slow it becomes really difficult on Plumber 2 and Plumber 2 is physically very demanding especially if you do it on an XC bike. Tokai DH0 is pretty short and not that demanding, however its first few meters is very challenging. I haven't done any of those 2 trails recently, so my own videos that I uploaded are from like 2021 for DH0 and 2022 for Plumber.
I've attempted a practice run yesterday late afternoon on Iron Monkey and Plumber, and Plumber 2 was rough on my XC bike (and also bad idea to have gone rockclimbing beforehand). I've uploaded the video late last night.
EPIC!!!!!!
Well done dream team!! Such a gnarly but fun trail. Thanks for the shoutout as well and for bringing positive energy bru!! Now I am living vicariously through your vids, keep them coming :)
You are such a legend, we cant wait to have you back!!! Speedy healing!
Hectic Hectic Rocks
super intense!
Yikes - that looks about as fun as dental surgery.
Sounds about right hahahahaha
#chicksdigdirtandpeople what a fun interview and stunning young lady!
She is amazing
That looks lekker!
I suppose we all like different kinds of fun hahahahahaha
Cool run, who is it
Good friend of our Clint Nosworthy
Makes veer factor look to easy 😂
He really does
Is this not the 104?
same trail, different names apparently hahahahaha. Depending who you ask. Happy for someone to give us the real name lol
Yeh I think I’ve heard 3 different names already 😂😂 but Dave calls it the 104… cool little piece of trail gets overgrown very quick tho
Where is that trail? I know the Belgian Waffle but I can't recall this trail.
if you have our number, please pop us a message and we will send you a pic that describes the location.
This hill looks flat in the video but I can tell it is very steep in reality, 45 degree at least.
Even on video it looks steep
It’s crazy. 46 deg
Looks like mtb enjoyers can't even drive up hill this size.
Unfortunately this hill doesn’t look as bad on camera, it’s 46 deg so super steep.
Neanderthals are apes🤣🤣🤣
Ooh ooooh ooooh🐵 YEEEEEEEEAAAH👹
Yeah, having problems driving up that hill with an electric motor assistance and using propably the lowest gear. Never had that problem without that tech.
It’s 46 deg. We haven’t seen anyone make it up there. Was fun trying though 👌🏽
Nice, im heading there in the morning and was contemplating that gap for the first time
You can do it! Its much easier than it looks.
Did my first Enduro there. My soul got left behind at rock n roll when I purchased some land there. Super gnarly
Its a crazy section. So challenging
Lovely! Thanks 🙏🏼
Awesome
Thank you for documenting Warren 👌
A BIG pleasure. Its going to be even bigger next year!
This is INSANE!!! Well done wow 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you!!!
25:40...contemplates life choices 😂
and many more other instances too hahahaha
Hi o/ Were can I see the upcoming events,when I normally see it first, is here and then it's too late
Hi, so sorry for the late reply. You can get it on the Western Cape Enduro facebook or insta pages. Next one is at Jonkershoek on 3 November. Hopefully we see you there!
@@WarrenMelissaGoRidingNo problem, thanks
So cool. That looked super challenging!
It was, but so rewarding when you get it right. We cant wait to go back!!
That first steep inspection has serious DH0 vibes
yes hahahaha
This is making me miss George
We cant wait to go back hahaha
Those trails look so fun! Can't wait to ride there.🔥🔥🔥
So challenging and rewarding. Its some of the best trails we have ever ridden
That looks rad
Its so good!!
