I don't know why you keep saying Deon has left - has he? I'm nominating him for a position, you can too. Unless he does not want to stand - Deon could you let me know please? Crow wanted to know who is chairing the meeting - poor, long suffering Meurant Botha. I know where a lot of the latest lot of volunteers are coming from - everyone who has ever picked up a spade on behalf of others feel like they are the 1st or only ones to do so. We have all been there. A few years ago I was responsible for making sure all the tracks for the WP DH series as well as one National were built and maintained. I got so gatvol, I almost stopped racing. Tokai has a very long history of activists and trail building that I don't even know all the details of. I do know that the very 1st trails were right on top of the neck - the flattish section left of where the mast tar road starts. Next was the DH, with a slightly different routing than it has today, but roughly the same start and finish. They were built and maintained by Downhillers back in the day when Tokai was a garden of Eden from top to bottom and you couldn't tell the difference between DH bikes and XC bikes. Everyone. Please stop hating and fearing. Please nominate the people you think will represent you best, or put yourself forward. Nominations for elected positions can be sent to info@amarider.co.za. The closing date for nominations is 5 p.m. on 17 February 2014 The nomination form should include: Committee Position: Nominated person: Email: Phone: Nominated by: Email: Phone:

The election of committee members 5.1 Secretary/Treasurer 5.2 Riders representative - Gravity 5.3 Riders representative - XC 5.4 TMNP liaison and fund raising 5.5 Treasurer / secretary 5.6 Chairman (from above members) 5.5 should read Public Relations - don't think there is enough money for two treasurers....

Even if the park doesn't open - not definite yet - Worlds will not be impacted. Info on the facebook page and just about all the mtb sites, Dirt, Vital, Pinkbike.

Just found this http://www.hafjellresort.no/en/activities/EventGuide/View/Festival_and_events/MTB_Masters_Hafjell_2014_446718 Looks like it's in Hafjell.

Does the broken window glass just before the entrance to Cobra have anything to do with the lack of a vehicle? Or did you lock the keys in the car...

Please don't, it still has not recovered from the time you took those rocks out after the 1st corner. Other sections of trail can be bike park smooth and bermed, but leave us our rocks and iffy corners! Also, if you need a berm to corner fast you're not doing it right, get with it you fairy

Only the berm and root steps (where this sign is). Because everybody loves to come around a fast blind corner where there is little to no braking or avoidance room just to see a head down, iPod listening rider coming the other way. There are one or two other places on the mountain that have semi blind entries as well. Use your discretion like you would in your car.

Use one of these when riding, http://medsport.co.za/products-page/arms/airform-tennis-elbow-brace/ Fixed me after about 3 months of use. Massage and stretching of the fore arm also help. Not a fan of injections that ease the pain without addressing the underlying cause. A good physio will also sort you out.

Cancelled, posted on the DH rides with the Bike Shed Facebook Group: BLEAK NEWS!!!! Due to the storming forecast for Sunday we unfortunately have to postpone the Shuttle Day to November (date still to be confirmed), the tracks are open if you would like to come check it out. Will keep you all posted with the progress of the Revised DH Track!

New info on my Glory, will sell parts separately. Please have a look if interested. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/89601-giant-glory-downhill/page__p__1258741__fromsearch__1#entry1258741

I'm not joking about the toothpaste...

White toothpaste, rub well. It also ads minty freshness.
