For the beginner, instructions to the location. Straight up the Chinese Cemetery road from Dengkil or through Taman Selatan Precint 20 from the Dengkil Road. It is on the border of Precint 5 and 20. I think it is in Precint 5 anyway.
Track description, many trails, pick your choice, not for the faint hearted though (me included - I had a bad case of vertigo), fast downhills with unexpected turns, unexpected jumps and of course a DH jump track. Wide berms so it is actually quite safe but nevertheless, I fell twice as did Din, Fariq had one, the only one who got away Scotfree was Eddy (luck of the Scottish).
We got introduced to the track by our guide Kamil who we met there and kindly lead the way for us. Jazakallah Brother Kamil.
Photos galore, I got quite good videos of the jumps on the phone camera but in the PC it looks terrible. I won't post it until I can get it refined.

Bro Kamil, hope you are well and your wife will still allowing you to rides...
ReplyDeleteBro Kamil, sorry to hear that. I hope you recover soon. Drinking milk helps. The low fat type. I took up mountain biking to because I drank too much full cream, fresh milk, to recover from broken leg
ReplyDeletethanks a lot for the tip. Luckily i got plenty of those low fat type.
ReplyDelete'See you on the trail'...errr but not so soon la.
Bro Kamil, should take 6 to 7 weeks to recover, but don't strain the bone. By the way, where did you fall?
ReplyDeletejust got back from clinic,.. yes you're right..i got 6 weeks MC. fractured bone looks like still have contact, taken from one angle of x-ray.
ReplyDeleteagain you're right,'dont strain the bone' replied the doctor when i asked him should i do some exercise to speed up my recovery.
btw, i fall after descent.. before the jump location. i think i was goin a bit faster than before and braking too late. i was havin a blast that day...after been 4 times in tmn cabaran b4 this happened. anyway, i'll be more careful next time.
