There's 1 at the moment but Karl is in the process of buying a single cab 4x4. We're building a structure that will allow people to sit on the back of my truck comfortably.We won't be using dakine pickup pads. We're using trailers. Those pads ruin your bike if you aren't VERY careful. Especailly on a rough uplift road.

 

I'm really keen to see what you are going to use for the shuttle trailer.

Reason is that one of the local schools have applied for budget to build a bike trailer for their MTB team, and I might help them with the build, or at least with the concept. .

Shot, if it is approved we'll probably come swing by. 

 

I heard you used Christo's trailer this weekend, that setup works lekker.

Ja. The original trailer we were going to use was seconded to some xc race. I can't even remember which one. Christo's trailer is a great setup for dh bikes but for xc bike's there are other and probably better options. The problem with dh bikes is you can't twist the bars. with xc you can.

 

I'll send you a pm of what i'm talking about.

Hey all.

 

We'll be running Shuttles for the December down period for all you guys and gals who are keen to get a little gravity in your lives. The venue's are to be confirmed but expect Steilte, Paarl, TM, Marlmsbury and possibly Contermans.

 

Dates are as follows.

 

23rd December

 

26th December

27th December

28th December

29th December

30th December

31st December

 

2nd Jan

3rd Jan

4th Jan

 

With the added possibility of a few extras between the 5th and 11th of Jan. The only other way you'll get more gravity is if you come to France with us in July.

Hey all.

 

Just an update on our proposed shuttle days for December.

 

23rd December. Steilte
26th December. Steilte
27th December. Paarl
28th December. Paarl
29th December. Steilte
30th December. Steile
31st December. Malmsbury
2nd Jan. Malmsbury
3rd Jan. Steilte
4th Jan. Steilte.

If you are keen to join you know what to do. R100 per shuttle day in the account below please. We'll have the trailer sorted (or replaced) before then. Please remember your shuttle fee's don't cover trail access.

 

The folks from A-Line will be in town around the same time and will be joining us on a few of the days so you'll be able to test out some SICK Banshee bikes whilst smashing out runs. I can't think of anything better than getting a shuttled to the top of the hill and smashing a run where you can jump 12 safe tables in a row.

 

Can you?

Yo Omega, well done and taking this project and making it a reality!

 

Please tell me that is you doing the gap?

 

RE Malmesbury .... only done a 24hr there many moons ago, what is the trail like you will be shuttling?

No that's Karl.

 

That gap is well beyond my testicular threshold.
