Last weekend I went over the mountain, visiting my Brother in Cape Town.
We made a mission out to Zone 7, a well know MX track at the back of Durbanville, a mere 20 minutes from his house.
Both of us haven't been riding the past 8 years and both just bought bike again.
He took delivery of a 2021 KTM 250sxf the day before.
Coming from a Enduro background we both still have LOADS to learn on a MX track.

The track was in exceptional condition when we got there. We both put about 2 hours on our motor's, doing 20mim moto's and then coming off to rest.

Super impressed with myself after spending the morning there I was able to jump and clear all the jumps except for one on the back straight
From the 1st proper laps till the last of the day I improved my time with almost 10 seconds per lap, super stoked by our progress on the day.
Until next time 🤛🏼💥 Braaap

Charging into a new Week 🤛🏼💥
Got some good airtime over the weekend at a Private MX track.
If you look you'll see my brother .19 standing on the lip of the landing, doing a great job camouflaging with the environment 🤠
The wind was absolutely nuking from right to left so had to lean plenty to have a successful landing, look forward to returning on a calm day to work on my air miles ✈️🤙🏼

It's like learning to walk again 😅🥺🤔
In my defence the wind was pumping from right to left
Will give it a go soon again 😉

Charging towards Wednesday Like...
New YT video out, link in my Bio 👆🏼
This past weekend we spent the Saturday doing about 3 hours of 20min moto's and having a blast with mates.
Haven't done much technical riding lately, urging to get out to the forest and working on my clutch control.

Starting to find my balance on the pegs and bike handling has significantly improved.
Excited to go explore some more on Sunday.
