With the amount of money he's spent on doctors he could have hired the hottest professional lady friend on the planet 24/7/365. In all seriousness tho we need to come up with a plan for the bakkie situation. maybe hire a trailer?

ramsew Posted November 16, 2012 Share This is the perfect opportunity for the XC guys to try their hand at a little gravity racing. The track will be the std DH track at tokai which most of you have ridden 1000 times before. The only really gnarly features on the track are the road gap and the new monster jump at the bottom. There will be alternate lines around these features and on a XC bike you'll be able to make up time on the bottom section where it flattens out (Especially if the SE is blowing). So you won't be at a disadvantage compared to the dudes on their dh bikes. Plus they are all unfit remember so you can pedal where their tongues will be hanging out. There might even be a fella by the name of Hopkins on his PYGA 29er out there trying to prove a point. There are many guys who have DH bikes (myself included) that are seriously considering running their AM bikes instead. So please guys. feel free to attend. It should be a fun event. As an aside. Recently some guys did timed runs from just above the road gap to the quarry. Pottie did a 2.53 on his Canfield factory DH bike. Pretty damned fast but 4 days later Myles Kelsey did a 2.49 on his AM bike. In slightly different wind conditions it has to be said but it goes to show.I'm rooting for PYGA (Hopkins!)

Guest Omega Man Posted November 16, 2012 Share I'm rooting for PYGA (Hopkins!)I think he's away on race weekend unfortunately. Would be interesting to see his times on that circus bike of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy hardtail Posted November 18, 2012 Share Did a full run from the start of the track to the big stepdown jump at the bottom. 4mins 6 seconds , no pedalling, and I was stuffed! By far the longest track I've ridden. Gonna be fun on race day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyTrailRider Posted November 18, 2012 Share You'd better bring your A Game on Saturday... There's still another 400m to go after that! Bloody hell, I'm going to need an A+ cheat sheet then! Couldn't even do a full run today, I was knackered by the time I reached Vasbyt... That, and getting used to my new bike setup also bucked me off a few times. It's going to be interesting.

The guys that are going for the W are gonna have to work hard tho. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
