Guest notmyname Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 yet more IMGL7363.jpg IMGL7625.jpg IMGL7680.jpg IMGL7740.jpg IMGL7799.jpgThat berm the guy in white is railing is very close to that ramp. Hahaha.
ChUkKy Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Haha! Looks more like a "rolling floppie" to me. Someone must have told her: "Whatever happens, hold on to your handlebars." Looks like that rigid fork is about to bend backwards. I am sure that was one hard face-plant... Shame.WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIf i called her a floppie I would have got another suspension. WHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Love your work
rudi-h Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 the lack of skill here is alarming... all of a sudden I feel for the organizers after taking so much blame for the accident count!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Hahaha I made it 1014Looks like you weren't that happy about it!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 the lack of skill here is alarming... all of a sudden I feel for the organizers after taking so much blame for the accident count!That's the kinda thing that I hit at the age of 4! Putting ramps (old planks from my dad's garage) onto bricks and then gunning it on the bmx
Jaws677 Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 No I was stuck behind a few of the 20km guys, and saw the ramp a bit late, and I could not build up enough speed as my front wheel hit the ramp I realised hier kom `n ding :-) still landed nicely but that face !!!

Skylark Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Was the medics tent right next to the cameraman?

It's no wonder there were so many crashes/falls/complaints.
ScottCM Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Considering that many photos show rigid forks, and not the single speed variety, but rather the PnP/Makro type = noobs. It's no wonder there were so many crashes/falls/complaints. All to true, but the scary part if that on the tv broadcast they said that the organisers are aiming for 10k people next year on a new track. I think i will most likely give it a miss next year if they aiming at doubling the entries.
Letum911 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 What was the entry for the race/ride?Entry fee? Think it was around R350. Or do mean the amount of entries? Around 5000
Hairy Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Entry fee? Think it was around R350. Or do mean the amount of entries? Around 5000Lets say R300 x 5000 = R150,000.00 .........Damn ... I am organising a ride in town with a couple of planks slapped together for a "tech" feature every now and again! Or R350 x 5000 = R175,000.00

I am organising a ride in town with a couple of planks slapped together for a "tech" feature every now and again! Or R350 x 5000 = R175,000.00Yah it looks good on a cheque. But in one of the threads (not sure if its this one), someone did a breakdown of the budget and then it looks a lot less favourable. I know the organisers on some of the other races make about R25k per race, but that is excluding transport and cellphone costs. So in the end its probably closer to R22k. But times that by 5 races per year it's still not a bad second income
