RockCoach Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Hey guys want to find out a bit more info on this event. So there is a hard category? What's the price to enter the even? And we enter on the day. Do we need any club or any thing else to enter. Is the event all down hill or are there some uphill parts also. Sorry I'm new to enduro events.You have to ride or push up to the starter each stage usually talking rubbish with your buddies (good idea to bring some who are of similar fitness to keep you company OR make some new ones on the day). You are timed only on the descents. You get to start by yourself, separated by at least 30 seconds.
RockCoach Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 I would really like to give this a go. It sounds like a fun format but there's no way it will happen for me this year. Are you planning to hold any more events next year?All this effort for only one event? Don't think so. I reckon at least 3 events next year with 3 more awesome lines being cut. There is huge potential for even more lines...
chris30# Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Ok perfect I push up hills any way. Trying to get a few guys down from limpopo to race also. And I take in there are no practice runs like in downhill? Planing on using my 100 mm jump bike for the event you think that will be fine?
kevinsfish Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 As said "ALL WELCOME"I doubt he will look at your bike and say "you are not allowed to enter" It depends on the rider what he/she can ride or not with what ever bike he/she brings to the party.thanks, cant wait..

If you arrive on Friday you can practise to your hearts content. In fact after the next two weeks you should be able to go practise the full route any time. I could ride it on my hardtail without a problem but just wouldn't be that comfortable or fast over rocky sections.
Murray_Lotus7 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Hi Hakahna I will be attending the event.
Foot Out Flat Out Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Brilliant!!! Good effort guysCount me in!
Jan_K Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 I might take a chicken run or two, but I'll be there for sure - the riding at Hakahana is always great. Bringing some friends over the weekend to check out the lines.Hopefully this is the start of good things - would be great to have more alternatives to the prevailing grondpad maratons

David Messem Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I am in! This will be my first enduro on a dualsus, hopefully the speed and comfort will be better
RM Slayer Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Will be there including my wife. Can't wait!
Nofearnofun Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 As said by Hayleyearth. The shuttle will run between the Hakahana trail centre and the saddle. This will happen during registration, once you have entered and registered you hop on the next shuttle to get to the saddle where everyone will chill for race briefing and the start. You will then have a short sharp climb up to SP1, after each stage you will have to ride back up to the start of the next stage.
Quincy Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 oooooooowwwweeeeeeee this sounds like a whole bunch of fun!!!!! Count me in Ill be rocking it on my 29er hard tail
