The Braamfontuin Spruit is a well know and much enjoyed riding spot in Johannesburg. This video shows some of the awesome jumps some of the local riders built for their fellow riders to enjoy.
For those of you looking to buy a jump bike, or possibly get into pump track racing or 4X racing make sure you check out Mikes Bikes in Greenside. The sent us these pics of their extensive range of Jump bikes from Giant and Mongoose. They already have stock of the 2010 models and they look super good! if you shopping for one give them a shout.

Following on from Lloyds post we also have some awesome shots submitted by Eric Palmer. Gum Trails never fail to please! (more…)
I just watched this trailer and had to post it. The theme seems to be “getting broken off on your bike”… (more…)
The trails on the Braamfontein spruit have been there for ages, but recently a few guys have started trying to clean them up and get them running smooth again. The trail scene in JHB is pretty dismal right now so getting these jumps back up and running should be good news for any folks who want to ride trails in the Randburg area. (more…)
There are a few building / riding sessions happening this weekend in the Greater Johannesburg area. (more…)
Ian from Antihill films just sent us the following message. (more…)
Matt Hunter is one of the riders who will have a part in the new Follow Me video… (more…)
The guys from Omnico sent us this link to a video of Chris Akrigg tearing it up on his Mongoose Nugget. The Nugget is a 4 inch travel bike geared towards slopestyle riders, but if you ask me it would make a pretty good 4X rig as well. Particularly with tracks getting rougher and moving away from the BMX style tracks of a few years back. And if you watch the above video its clear it can handle pretty much anything Chris throws at it.
Its also nice to see that the guys from Omnico are bringing the Nugget into South Africa. Not many distributors out here bring in Slopestyle bikes so if you looking for one you might want to check out the Nugget. We are also currently doing a long term test on the Nugget’s bigger brother called the Boot’r. You can check out the first part of that review HERE, with the 2nd installment coming in a few days time.
Todays style shot is of Jonty Neethling and was shot by Wayne Reiche. (more…)
