    I hear you bud. Tragic. And ja, I also feel for the trail builder. Probably has quite a bit of repair work to do now.

    I think the drop out rate might have decreased a bit over the years (not sure if someone has the stats?) I can remember in 2010 when I did my first Epic, about 300 guys (if I remember correctly) dropped out in the 1st few days. But that was just after they changed the format of the Epic to include more technical riding, so I guess a lot of the riders weren't expecting it to be quite a bit "harder" than in the past. These days most of the guys know that it will be a tough stint in the saddle, so they prepare accordingly. But still you get those entrants who don't listen...

    I must say I'm always surprised at the number of riders that rock up at the Epic completely unprepared. Surely you do your homework very well for a race of this magnitude. Or are these guys mostly the "sponsored" riders? Cos if I have to fork out R70k of my own Ronds for an entry, I will damn well make sure I'm extremely well prepared.

    I can confirm this. Did my 1st Epic on a Trek EX with 130mm travel fork and 120mm at the back. Not much slower on the climbs than the XC whippets and just so much more fun when the trail went down/sideways. :-)

    I think I just had a crisis in my pants.

    Exactly. I just don't see any other way of trying to cleanse sport of this nonsense.

    I just a think a life ban would be a much stronger deterrent for athletes not to dope/cheat (just talking in general, not specifically about this case).
  12. banna
    Why are these f**kers (sorry.... cheats) not getting a life ban? It's always 11 months, or 2 years etc etc. What, so that they can come back and do it again?...... nooooooooooooooot bru......

    I always wonder how dopers sleep at night, knowing that tomorrow just might be the day I get caught. On that note, I also wonder how Zuma sleeps at night.....

    Ag awesome boet. I can have the kakkest day in office. One good wave later and I'm back in my happy space. In fact, the waves don't even have to be that good. Just being out in the ocean talking crap with the buds out back is also good enough. The ocean is just a special place for those who get it.

    I like mtbiking a lot, but still doesn't come close to surfing (IMO). Made a point of getting into the big water again this year when the winter swells hits. Not even sure where all my gear is!

    Because rugby and cricket only requires one ball...
