Izak Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Yeah, hope so. Entered my first half-monster this year. I stay in the area where VoriBerg was held. Had one attempt at Voriberg and broke my RD hanger. Shortly afterwards the race was cancelled. The main reason for me this weekend is to scour for some new training ground... LOL Cool stuff man!! I spoke to Clive Hardy organiser of Voriberg and he said that they will be back next year!!
ChUkKy Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 If its anything like where we used to ride our MX bikes, it aint gonna be easy...
Izak Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 If its anything like where we used to ride our MX bikes, it aint gonna be easy... Yeah well but it will be nice riding even though it's tough. Some good technical riding, can't wait.Would have been nice to know when and where and how much to push but suppose will have to wing it.

Izak Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I love the technical stuff... its right up my alleyYeah me too, don't get enough opportunity to ride it (that means not every day )Something that urks me is the amount of fairly good riders that cannot ride technical....

They are a small percentage
Izak Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) yep, I got lambasted in the Van Gaalens race thread last year for stating this fact because those that cannot ride it want to remove those sections. They are a small percentageI just see it in every race, guys that should be leaving me on the trails because of their equipment etc. are just not able to ride technical or get off at the sight of any small rock etc.I love technical so have fairly good skills. But like with everything you have to practice these things. Start wit a freakin track stand in your garden if you have to but do something.Also people without any riding manners, jeez it's just like everyone decided they're a pro and stuff you.Anyways, off topic rant done, really looking forward to the race this weekend! Hopefully it will be a nice one and we can all enjoy a well managed safe race. Edited March 27, 2014 by Izak
