  1. Good day, I was wondering with all the DH races going on, where do all you guys train? I heard Theo trained in Tokai, Ike has Hellsend. But Hellsend is only open during limited times. (I should mention, I am in Cape Town.) Is there still any Downhill focused riders out there? The main reason why I ask, DH is a relatively dangerous sport to do by yourself. I am trying to find riding partners. I had a fun little group back in Bloemfontein. Hit me up one day when you take the big rig out for a spin. Kind regards, Steve A
  2. Looking for any DH mtb specific tracks trails or courses in or around haenertsburg with rock gardens, drops , berms and jumps ( like a usual DH mtb trail).

If anybody knows of any trails or properties or plots that have such trails ( that I could contact ) pls let me know

  4. Hi I am building a Fuji gran fondo 2,5 I have bought a frame from a fellow hubber but the thru axels where not with the frame and I can’t seem to figure out what I need to buy ?

  7. When Spank set out to create the Spike flat pedals, they aimed to create a thin, lightweight platform pedal that could still withstand the kind of abuse dished out by amateurs and pros alike, week after week in all weather conditions. Click here to view the article
  8. I’ve just bought myself a specialized big hit and I'm keen on DH. I’m totally new in the DH scene and would like to know about places in PTA area where to get the hang of my new bike.

Can anyone give me tips on where DH beginners have to start or join other DH riders in the area. Charl de Villiers
