Neethling Skills Worx

Its been a long time coming, but finally i hosted my first Downhill Clinic.
Ive decided to start somewhat small, so i can focus on each rider more. After doing a run with the guys and showing them lines and technique's to do the section with ease. we had a bit of fun doing runs together. The skills of the riders improved with each run, which was awesome to see.

Rider: Jacques Prins


Rider:Daniel Saunders

Massive thanks to everyone involved.
Ill be hosting a lot more in the future so keep an eye on the dates.

Last few months

 PMB WC hotseat 54th
 Bit of fun in Practice
A few beers never killed anyone.






Old Post that never made it



Been a fair bit going on, SA nationals, Dirtopia, and a fresh WP race season.
Pmb national didnt go very well at all, the moment i landed in Durban i got sick and could hardly get out of bed so i knew racing was going to be tough, after my first race run, i pretty much couldn't stand on my own, got sick in the bush :) headed up for my 2nd run, had a really good top half hit the flat section hard and about half way i got sick in my helmet. Not a good Start to the season for me with a 7th.
Filmed and Shot Photos for FOX riderco the next day, so stay tuned for a belter Web edit by Jimmy Reynolds.
Week later Calvin AKA "Calwors" Reck and i packed up some camping gear and headed to Dirtopia for some much needed time away with mad trails and crazy big Bonfire action and tailgate cook ups.
Not much to say so ill just post some Pics rather.
Thanks Eric and Mr Bird for letting me steel some pics.
