  1. Never fear lads, I will sneak out there on saturday night and shape that dirt into a sweet jump. Put a landing on the other side and a few planks over the middle for the newbies. Then sit there with my camera on sunday. Good luck all you guys that are doing the race!
  2. Hey PorS, saw the usual suspects clearing the old DH trail between the jump into the road and the quarry today. Was just wondering if this is allowed yet, cos if it is then we need a build day asap to get it done. If it isn't it could cause a bit o *** I reckon...
  3. Gonna be in tokai in less than four hours. Keeping me positive ...
  4. So when are we gonna link DH3 to the quarry for the vast majorities benefit? Cos I am keen
  5. Try race Downhill. R270 for two mins twenty one seconds! But I love it and I know where all the money goes so its all good.
  6. I just bought a new acces card. R300 . If you ride twice a week its R3 a ride! Why cheat? Probably the same people who moan about the state of the trails and crash riding down the roads. Although I didn't have to show my old card at the gate for about 8 months! The guys just assumed I had one cos I was there so often...
  7. Do it. And give me your RP23...
  8. How do you add pics from a blackberry?
  9. 49 seconds from where to where? Going up today for a ride
  10. I will be 35 on saturday. Can't believe I'm so old already! Seems like just the other day I was bunking school to go mountain biking!!
  11. I used to live on a road that was the main walking route between masipumelele, a huge location, and the local mall. Tbe break ins were terrible. Had my whole house ripped off one day. Two years later I saw a guy walking down the road with my bike, so I confronted him and got it back! Two days later there was a brick through my cars back window... Sold the house soon after. I also got my bmx back the same way, different day, but it got stolen again! Now I lock my bikes to the floor in my garage
  12. My first decent mountain bike was a 1992 Diamond Back Apex. R1600 2nd hand in 1993. Got stolen in 2001. Got it back in 2003! I have the frame hanging in the garage but still use the deore dx wheels on my ss mtb. Those hubs are brilliant. I've only stripped and serviced the front one once in 19 years!
  13. What are the advantages and disadvantages of 29ers? I want real world answers, not something written by the marketing department. Having only riidden a 29er for about 30 seconds I have no real experience of them.
  14. It rained all day! Gonna ride tomorrow, track should be perfect. Might have to patch a few tire ruts before they set like concrete...
  15. Brooklyn has been around for a while now. That bike , full steel frame, is one of the most bullet proof bikes you can get
  16. Just counted in my head, there are now 16 jumps between the big berm and where you go onto the road! And only two corners!!
  17. Dunno why that posted 3 times? I must be super keen!!
  18. There like a bear. I know that a lot of the dh guys are coming through. Gonna be a big build I reckon. What is the plan? How are we gonna link the new section just built to the quarry?
  19. Hey guys. Build day on sunday 19 feb . Gonna do more work on the bottom of the DH track. 9am at the gate
  20. I see your point David but I want to ride decent trails now, not maybe in a few years time. So I help to build. When others are raving about the trails and they don't know that you helping to build them its even better
  21. All the entry fee money goes to sanparks head office in pretoria, whether its from tokai or kruger park. Then it is spent where it is needed. So I would assume that the big parks need more cash to run than some little bike trails. We are not high up on sanparks agenda.
  22. Tokai is maintained by volunteers and organized by Deon from amarider. There are build days that are posted on the hub. Come and build, we need all the hands we can get!
  23. I am gonna be building my own gearbox bike one of these days. Cromoly frame . The hardest part so far is finding the frame material. Now if only someone could donate a rohloff hub...
  24. Cool thanks guys. See ya all at the races!
  25. I'll take a white one in large, please santa ...
