  1. Our little one has been riding with us from about 10 months old. Started with short rides of about 3km and now at 1.5 years of age he can do about a 20km+ ride of about 1.5hours. He loves his single track and even leans in with me into the corners. The Feva seat works pretty well but don't know for how much longer since he is starting to take up quite a bit of space between the bars and my knees.
  2. Can't wait for this! Entered and accommodation booked. Any news on the Saturday night festival?
  3. Not really a bike you can walk in and buy anywhere but anyway, here is mine. 90's Trek 730 stripped and customized to use brake discs. *still need to wrap my cork grip tape on.
  4. Yes only one EW rider. Rika chose to ride in her class so she can go to masters world champs. Simone is not form the African continent so she cant compete in the EW category.
  5. Final result sheet signed off by UCI Commissaire and posted by WP Downhill https://www.dropbox.com/s/h4ktr6z5cxwpt8t/African%20Continental%20Champs%202014%20-%20DHI%20Results%202.pdf
  6. No Rika did not race EW as she wants points for masters world champs.
  7. Well for starters, do you have some sort of IMBA accreditation? Guess not. Second, find the guy, ask him what his plan is with the ST and if you can maybe help him or suggest to him what to do. A work in progress is never perfect the first time round. and lastly, walk the trail before bombing down it or go at a speed that you can safely negotiate an obstacle at your skill level. We have been building and working in Eden for years and if you know all the trouble we have gone through then you would actually keep your mouth shut and your hands in the dirt. Just remember, we have no right being there, infact, the trails are illegal and people walking there or walking their dogs have more right than you there. Appreciate what you have.
  8. You can rather support these guys. http://dialdbikes.co.za/components/handlebars/ They put some money back into DH and Enduro in SA! oh and local is lekker!
  9. yeah not a bad price, just remember to add the medical bill to the frame price when you buy it.
  10. 1. That is not a local frame. 2. It is an open mould frame(that means anyone can buy these bikes and put their own name on) from China, here is the link to the factory. http://www.apro-tek.com/product_detail.php?sID=1&Key=20 3. It comes in a push or pull shock variation, one should just say that in your order. 4. the bike was not designed by some "German" or "American" engineer. The designer is a Thaiwanese engineer, a friend of mine who is a engineer at a large bike company has met him. 5. I have ridden one of these, they are junk! the kinematics are all wrong. They flex like crazy and the geo is not well designed. 6. DON'T BELIEVE ALL THE BULLSH!T PEOPLE TELL YOU! Do some research and you won't be caught like an idiot plus you will save a good bit of cash! ps...the frames cost about 650USD including shipping. Hope I could inform some people.
  11. You have a lot to learn of the biking industry mate. Don't be so gullible.

    Best would be to run it via WP Downhill, the majority of riders check the page. If every spot has to have a page then it would become a bot crazy.

    True, you guys have done a great job! Every region has its own style of building. We in the Western Cape are known for our tech, narrow, rocky trails so lets leave the highways for the KZN boys and stick to what we love!
