  1. Old World Cup track is now an "enduro" track .... or regional DH track. This is the next level .... its amazing
  2. So how did that work out for you? You at least put your best foot forward ... into the ground ... at pace
  3. Millar anticipates friendly competition for Downhill and Enduro Champs - and then goes and breaks his foot .....
  4. VETS ......hahahahahaha You are such a BALLIE Millar ....
  5. Hey Nick Thanks for putting this up. Yeah it is unfortunate - but the Chief Com's decision is the one that counts - so we had to change it. If anyone needs any info please feel free to message me. Cheers nige
  6. I would hazard a guess that it will likely be the final list. 6 XCO and 6 DH. fair across the disciplines so thats a plus. - you may find that funding is a bit tight or something. Interesting though that Lenzerheide isnt in there as they have the World Champs in 2018 scheduled already , and you generally use the year befores World Cup as a "test" to iron out any issues before worlds itself. Maybe its a funding issue from their side that they need to keep money aside for World Champs. ...
  7. That was a BIG weekend ... I am broken ... Thanks to Howick and Karkloof MTB clubs for clearing the trails for me ... Made life WAY easier.
  8. Dude - it is what it is ... there is nothing we can do if thats what our Sponsors want ... Either we do what they ask .. or next year we have no funding and therefore no series .... I agree it would be better - but this is the best compromise for riders and then sponsors alike ...
  9. @KingTJ One of the reasons is ... our sponsors work a half day on Saturday ... and would also like to ride - so they actually asked for it to start at noon - but we said no .... so we compromised with 11am ... This gives a lot of people time to get there from work, or school on a Saturday ... we did it before and tried early starts but you loose a large chunk of your rider base.
  10. AMAZING! ... Best video I have seen in years! #getloosebro
  11. just ordered one of these from Dial'd .... The Petrol colour scheme looks amazing - KEEN!
  12. If you are coming to the race ... remember to download the mailshot for all the info you need. REGISTRATION for the DH is on SATURDAY!!!!! there is no registration on SUNDAY! So rather enter early online to avoid disappointment KZN MTB Giba Mailshot.pdf

  14. hahaha Thats the DH ... the enduro trails are not rocky like that - just fun and flowy
  15. @ bengraham. I know. I sent through a pic from giba. But they used one from the last race at St ives. .... oops. Hahahaha
  16. Actually. All the elites can suck it ... because according to the media release. Peter Hoyer in MASTER men had the best time. ... 1:26.97 .... WOW. That is amazing for a 55 year old ballies who started racing 5 years ago.
  17. @Ryanmtb - hahahaha yip that is a bugger up on the media's part ... OOPS. for final results click here - http://www.elitetiming.co.za/Results/2016Results/tabid/124/Default.aspx
  18. Round 3 DH is still to be confirmed - but we should know sometime today .... but its either Karkloof or Cascades.

  20. hayley brings them in I think ...
  21. The Speeda colourway is the way of the future http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb12451318/p4pb12451318.jpg
  22. I agree with Odin, I think the Pyga will win (because its been well marketed in SA), but the one that should win would be the Mercer!! That thing is SWEET .... But a Patrol would also make a nice christmas present ...
