JPD Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Post from KZN MTB So that means there will be at least one really really really hard liaison stage, all the way to the top?!?!
Nofearnofun Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 So that means there will be at least one really really really hard liaison stage, all the way to the top?!?! I am lead to believe that we wont go above "the gulley" just above the table tops.
JPD Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I am lead to believe that we wont go above "the gulley" just above the table tops. Oh, well thats not too bad then rode that yesterday
Nofearnofun Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 Oh, well thats not too bad then rode that yesterday I will be out there on Friday from around lunchtime getting some practice in as the stages should be marked by Friday morning. JPD 1
Nofearnofun Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 Tough day out on the bike! Lost the front on stage one, dropped my chain and got lost on stage 3... not a good result for me at the end of the day! Very cool stages tho! spector28 1
Super_mil Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Flippen cool weekend! The enduro was great. Pity about stage 3 getting overly cleared after the XCO event & thus a lot of riders (myself included) getting lost in the last 3rd of the track (but the organizers removed stage 3 to try to level the playing field, although it didn't work in my favour). The DH track was brilliant Steep natural loose stuff at the top and more manicured bike/park style trail at the bottom. Very cool to have so many people participating too. Will post some pics that Patches took a bit later when I get a chance. Nofearnofun 1
Nicko Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Amazing weekend of riding... I fortunately didn't get lost, but those trails were just amazing. First time riding at Cascades, and now I'm gonna be visitng there a lot more often!!! Got some pretty decent footage. Will upload stage 1 just now, it came out pretty well I think. Stage 1 was probably the best single stage I've ever ridden Nofearnofun 1

Nicko Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Ok so here is a video of Run 1 I put a backtrack to it, because the natural sound wasn't great using a handlebar mount.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RzpIrAuqpg&feature=youtu.be Nofearnofun and NicoBoshoff 2
