HollardJUMA Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 Hello HUBbers! Just a final(ish) note from me, the organisers and Hollard... We wanted to extend a HUGE thank you to everyone who rode and gave us feedback about the event (either in person or on this hallowed forum!). We have acknowledged that water points and bottlenecks were definitely a problem, along with a few other things. These are very fixable problems and we’re going to pull out all the stops to make sure we improve year on year. We’re all just excited that you experienced what we wanted you to - the most unique MTB race in JHB - and an event that celebrated our “biggest man-made forest in the world”! Oh, and the black market trade in Hollard Bells is quite amusing. Can you ring a medal? Ha! Perhaps we’ll run a poll next year for a “unique” finishers gift. Thanks again, keep an eye on the social media channels for videos and pictures. Make sure you check out our coverage on SuperSport. SS8. 10 November 2014 at 20h30. And a final note, due to the success of the event: Hollard, the race organisers, as well as some other interested parties, are soon going to be looking into more ways to improve and sustain the Spruit going forward. That's a win all round. See you on the trails! #TEAMJUMA Check out: https://www.facebook.com/HollardInsurance Check out: https://www.facebook.com/urbanMTB -- Andy

HollardJUMA Posted October 20, 2014 Author Posted October 20, 2014 HUBbers looking for some professional photographs - here's a good source https://twitter.com/marcrossmann/status/522818303971319808 Team @ Hollard has all the ramp cam pics now. There are 90GB worth. So we're just figuring out what the hell to do with them and how to get them to you. If you've tried to upload 90GB in South Africa, you'll know what I'm talking about Watch @Hollard on Twitter or http://facebook.com/HollardInsurance Otherwise, this is most likely the last post from me on this account. Hopefully I'll be back next year! This event was such an amazing success and we had so much feedback as both brand and event - that I'm sure there's going to more interesting stuff in the future. Must get my own HUB account soon. You've been great ladies and gents. We'll obviously still monitor this account and try revive the Hollard HUB account to keep chatting with you guys about any future events we get involved with. --Andy

Tayyib Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Has anyone seen the pics from that silly purple ramp?I check every few days but nothing as yet.
Tayyib Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Yes, definitely avoid. Very technical and likely to get injuredDisagree here! Every person has there own grading of technical.however.if your worth half your salt and have been riding mtb for a couple years it's a very easy event.....unless there's sarcasim in your response and like many would prefer.less people means less standing and more riding.????
Tayyib Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Anyone seen rampcam pics from the juma yet?Nope:(
Rusty250 Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Disagree here! Every person has there own grading of technical.however.if your worth half your salt and have been riding mtb for a couple years it's a very easy event.....unless there's sarcasim in your response and like many would prefer.less people means less standing and more riding.Agreed, hardly technical in my humble opinion.
Dieter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Nope:( I just put up a link in a new thread /cycling photos
