We have had a few of our riders asking about learning drops and we quickly realised there were not any particularly good practice drops in the area. One of our favourite tracks out at Bluff, B-Line has some fun drops but the lead in, is pretty technical and the second drop which is about 4 bike lengths after the first, is bit of gap hop so we had a chat with the club and decided Sandy Point would be a great spot for some practice drops. Not only that they were happy for us to restate some at Gravel Pit.
The sandy gravel will take a while to pack in and the landing is still really soft but hopefully it won’t take long before it’s really fun to practice on.
There two heights of drop, the lower one should roll, the second one - not so much. The second one you will need good drop technique to be successful.
