    Both...

    Sorry - yes. Left hander... shows that my directionality was jumbled as well!
  3. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Yeah. Only place that needs a little work is the one right hand corner. Granted, that's where i managed to connect my man-bits to the back of my saddle, so I may be slightly biased, but the rest of it is riding beautifully. The "rock garden" is now so fast it's unbelievable, and the last section can be done just as fast while still ahving fun.

    I tell you what went KLUNK yesterday - my man bits. Directly nto the back of my saddle in that rooty corner on Mamba. Dumbass had forgotten to actuate the dropper going into the corner. Not a happy camper... And damn, was that unwelcome!!!

    Shooooooowee! The campfire just got a bit hotter
  6. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Thanks. The price and reviews sealed the deal!
  7. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Lol. Every time I think of the respray potential, another bit comes along and reaffirms the existing colour scheme!
  8. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    I wish we could get in there on a regular basis with one of these babies!
  9. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    At their expense in that they (Sam etc) are claiming that the branding implies that Scott is sponsoring the trails. Which is a very large leap given that the signage relates to the CAFE ONLY
  10. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Oh. At our expense in the non financial way But that's just it. I don't see how it is at your expense! ? It clearly has nothing to do with the trails
  11. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Wait. Are you saying that the cafe used your funds to place the signage and have it produced?
  12. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    I assume, from the tone of the messages contained here and on the other thread, that this is the real reason.
  13. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Needless to say that the blimp will come crashing down in a ball of flames in the first corner, like so many other cars when Montoya was on track...

    now THAT is a point. That would be up to Cape Pine to decide though. Have you approached them to ask them to revise their decision on the positioning of that sign?
  16. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    yeah, but they're not claiming they do, are they? The signs have no reference to the trails at all, and as far as the title of Jonkershoek Cafe (and the Scott sponsorship goes) Jonkershoek is a regional area, and therefore not restricted to the forest or trails. It's the funders' wish to remain brand-free in the trail centre itself, is it not?
  17. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    I'm just being devil's advocate here. Yes, passion runs deep, but why the knee jerk reaction to close the trails? That only hurts the riders, and Spaz's brand identity together with all teh other funders is tarnished at the same time, making them look like a bunch of spoiled brats who close trails (denying access) rather than out-branding or out-thinking the coffee shop branding - which has NOTHING to do with the trails...
  18. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    So because Scott sponsored the coffee shop, and put up signs that clearly make no claim to have anything to do with the trails, at all, and Spaz, a competing bike brand, is involved with the trail maintenance doesn't like this, you guys are pulling out? And causing the trails to go into a state of disrepair? Yes, the sign on the gate house could do with a re-design, and IS as subtle as a paving stone. But it does not refer to teh trails in any way, shape or form. The fact that Bobby Behan is at the centre of all of this (Spaz global marketing guy) speaks volumes - I'd assert that there is TONS of sponsor regret at not having taken the chance to do what Scott are doing with the coffee shop...
  19. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    To the face.
  20. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    very bad airtime for Spaz (maybe THAT was the point of the thread?)
  21. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Not overly so though. And if they got permission from the powers that be to put a sign up for the Cafe (which this clearly is) then what's the problem? EDIT: It could have been better designed though. Storm in a teacup. I'd even go so far as to say that Spaz missed a marketing trick, and were out-marketed by Scott by sponsoring the bikes...
  22. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Yeah. Exactly. I don't see what all the fuss was about. If the sign said Jonkershoek / Scott it'd be a different story. It CLEARY refers to the cafe'. And it's understated. Nowhere does it imply that Scott is sponsoring the trails...
  23. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Well that settles it then. Next time I go, I'm swinging by Ride In for some post roost goodness.
  24. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    HAHAHAHA!!! Yeah. That'll happen in a heartbeat.
  25. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Have you got a pic of it, D? Still - even if that is the case, this sort of reaction is unwarranted.
