G00SE Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Sounds good, I must check if my sunday is free, if it is I will probably ride
Beer4Recovery Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) On the FB page there is a "Sports Class" for beginners/trail bikes. Do they ride on the same DH track? Edited July 23, 2013 by BearManGuy
patches Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 On the FB page there is a "Sports Class" for beginners/trail bikes. Do they ride on the same DH track? They should do. Helderkruin is easy and everyhing has a "B-line". Some years ago there were guys who raced hardtail DJ bikes at Helderkruin and still clocked times that would place them top 10 overall. So bring whatever bike you want. Enter sports class. have fun! Beer4Recovery 1

patches Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Cool. What is the length of the track? Time? It's pretty short. Not sure which exact track they're using, but if it's roughly the same as the most popular, then the fast guys will do it in just over 1min.
DR ◣◢ Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 According to Ryan the rule of full face and long sleeves apply. This puts in a bit of a spot since I can't get any response from Rush Sports as to the delivery of my helmets.
nigelhicks Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 According to Ryan the rule of full face and long sleeves apply. This puts in a bit of a spot since I can't get any response from Rush Sports as to the delivery of my helmets. The UCI ruling states that - a Full face with a peak must be worn - it does not stipulate the type of fullface - so just borrow a mates MX lid!

I have a problem with "B" lines....it still has short sharp 'bends'...I can do "C" lines - the curve is bigger/wider/longer
Daniel J Méssem Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Sounds great - just ordered a full face helmet Will be bringing my XC 29er
hayleyearth Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 On the FB page there is a "Sports Class" for beginners/trail bikes. Do they ride on the same DH track? The track is really ridable with a non-DH bike, my bike was just fine....it was me that was the sissy and taking the moffie line (over the one drop section, other was just fine). RE the FF comments, that place is loose like a .... from ....., and if you do come off and your face makes any contact with the ground you will loose skin (teeth, eyes, ears, maybe even your only nose).

Google Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Ya on such a rocky course you wouldn't feel comfy without a full face and gloves.
