I was fortunate to have a garage built to accommodate my bicycles. Then had a helmet cupboard and kit cupboard added.

My kid just loves Greg Minnaar!!!

Hi Chaps, I have access to three 2014 GT Fury's if anyone is interested. email me at lawrence@gravity-life.com

Sorry agteros ....not sure why you replied with that comment!!! I am quoting what my Cardiologist told me.

Energy Drinks thicken your blood!!

There were no signs at all. It just sprung on me. One other thing my cardiologist asked me.....Have i been sick in the last few days and if i had any energy drinks!!!

I can speak from experience. Let me start by saying that I am a fairly fit person but don't over do it in anyway when I am out training. On 6 April 2013 at the KZN Downhill Event, I went into cardiac arrest about 30 minutes after my second times run. I could feel there was something not right but refused to believe that I had gone into cardiac arrest. It wasn't the norm where you experience the pain in your left arm and then clutch your arm and fall over and die, for me it was almost 2 hours of excruciating chest pains until I could get to a hospital. The things I went through and felt during those two hours I would not wish on my worst enemy. I am one of the very very lucky ones who survived it and came out with no perminant heart damage. The eventual cause was due to a blood clot caused by my red blood cell count being to high. I had no cholesterol, stress or high blood pressure issues. I never knew about my blood count problem and took a cardiac arrest for me to establish this. The more scary part for me was when I was in ICU they wheeled in a 22 year old girl who suffered the exact same as I did whilst out running. One thing I learnt from this is that you just don't know who could be next to go into cardiac arrest. It can happen to anyone, big or small, fat or thin, old or young...you just don't know. Almost all cardiac arrests are caused due to blood clots and they sneak up on you like a stalker!!! If you can, go get a CT scan to check for any blood clots in your system, it could save your life.

Super_mill...will you be at the KZN Downhill event on 6 July? If you are i will bring it to show you.....but you can't race with it though

Super_mill .... let me find out from Fox and i will come back to you. If the demand for the helmet is big enough, they will bring it in. Its such an awesome helmet. The main rival to the Fox Carbon Pro is the TLD D3 and dont get me wrong, the D3 is a flippen nice helmet, but i much prefer the Fox as it has such an awesome fit and looks really cool

Expect big things from Fox SA in the MTB and BMX categories.They have a great bunch of guys there now that are really into MTB, BMX and Downhill. This is my second season with Fox assisting my Downhill and BMX teams with kit and they have been such a pleasure to work with. Such down to earth guys who always make you feel welcome when you visit them at their head office and who take the time out their family time to come watch my teams race BMX and Downhill. We do a lot of behind the scenes marketing for them, especially my two junior BMX riders who are constantly bombarded for Fox stickers and merchadise at the BMX events (all that is donated by Fox). I wanted to try the Demo kit and Fox Carbon Pro helmet out so asked Fox if they could bring it in for me along with all the race teams kit. I was really expecting a "no" but they did it for me which just shows how far they will go to keep customers happy. I also come into contact with their warehouse staff and every staff member is such a pleasure to work with, always willing to help. If ever you guys are down in KZN and want to see or feel the helmet and kit, give me a shout and i will only be to happy to show you.

It all arrived yesterday...Thanks Fox SA

Flip, Nige.......shows you just how long ago i rode on the top section.........there were no trees when i last rode up there!!

Agree.......top shop with knowledgable, helpful staff.

I have a D2 and a D3. I had the exact same problem as you .....between sizes. I opted for the XS/Small D2 as it was the recommended size. I found the D2 helmet a little to tight and when replacing the D2, i bought a size medium D3 which was perfect. My suggestion to you, get the size medium / large D2 and use the extra helmet pads if you need to make it smaller.
