LanceB Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Went to Tokai for the first time in years this morning. Was notably taken aback by the rampant deforestation, yet in mitigation I must say one can see very committed local trailbuilding in challenging circumstances. The rockgardens and obstacles on the Mamba trail were most enjoyable… Interestingly there was a group of kids, on unicycles, careering down the Mamba ahead of me, in a staggered formation, stopping and resuming as part of a tutorial session, I assume. May I commend them on their sense of adventure and excellent trail discipline/awareness, all heeded my advance and gave me a generous margin to pass them. And with no residual attitude either. I was impressed. Capricorn, Oufy MTB (Roadie), gongmech and 1 other 4
DJR Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Agreed, the UNI guys are some of the friendliest around. I suppose that they really have nothing to prove to anyone but themselves. Most of us are in awe of their skills. Oufy MTB (Roadie) 1
babse Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 is that bloke still around that used to visit the mast every so often on his Uni, im not at tokai that often these days but when i was i used to see him on a regular basis. major kudos to these Uni chaps
R3SL Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Agree 100% , saw them again yesterday in Tokai , a really skilled bunch of guys . :thumbup:
Kranky Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) The uni crew are great fun. Good to have them on the mountain. And their skills really put the two wheelers in their place Edited January 4, 2014 by Nick.
Oufy MTB (Roadie) Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 how they balance those things I still can't figure it out! big up to them
BrandonF_ Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 No uni's in the Tygerberg trails, c'mon guys, you only pay half the membership hehe,.....I'll stick to two
marko35s Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Saw a couple of youngsters working their way down Vasbyt today on unicycles. Very friendly and happy.
DJR Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 ...........I'll stick to two Me to, unless I find a way to double my skills.
Jewbacca Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 The unicyclists rock.. Their skill level is awesome and their friendly and accomodating manner is awesome. If everyone treated everyone as courteously as they do we would have an awesome environment to ride in. I am more than happy to slam on brakes and wait for them to bobble over a rooty/rocky session. I do often. Its really cool that other people feel the same way as I have definitely heard a few cyclists grumbling about how the UNI guys clog up 'their' trails....
marko35s Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Just a thought but do they get to pay half price...
