To start off some mine dump riding outside Benoni on a 1200 GeenSand

Getting ready, lining up, drop the clutch and go


Then up

Namaqua Sands mine on West Coast

It is ahead.


But there is a locked gate.  No problem.  Disconnect the little fence, lay it flat


And ride over it.  Then put the fence back up.


Ride into the surface strip mining area.


Not very deep.


Nice and smooth.


And its big.


But get arrested for trespassing.
