JPD Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I have just had the boss of the Karkoof Club call me saying that he has had a couple of guys over the last couple of days ducking the system to go and ride without paying ... I dont know who these guys are, but they are being nobs and are jeopardizing us having events there in the future ... Not f*cking cool! Come on guys that not #Enduro hey!

Peach. Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 with online entries closed last night we have the following Enduro - 106 online entries DH - 60 online entries That's awesome,big turn out for the DH.Hope you have enough shuttles planned
Super_mil Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 That's awesome,big turn out for the DH.Hope you have enough shuttles planned It is a quick shuttle Peach and with riders having to pedal into the start (8 min pedal) there shouldn't be no bottleneck due to riders having to wait for shuttles.
nigelhicks Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Peach - shuttles will be fine - we have 5 or so vehicles, and the shuttle turn around time is 10 minutes.The riders then have an 8 minute coast to the start - so a single shuttle can do 2 runs in the time it takes a rider to do 1 run down the track.

nigelhicks Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Nigel, any noticeable increase in DH numbers since your beginners day late last year at Giba? Ya for sure ... there are a good couple of guys and girls from that day that went out and got DH rigs (or at least helmets) and will be racing this year. But also I think the Enduro is feeding new riders through nicely as guys are coming for the weekend, and by having a DH where the whole track, (barring one rock garden and some jumps) is actually easier than the Enduro ... then the guys think about just doing the DH anyway as they are here .... Also marketing dude - this is the first year we have properly tried to market and promote Enduro and DH together - and I think its working.

I would have been there too for the DH but I'm being force to drink copious amounts of alcohol on Saturday night. Will give the DH a try at St. Ives!
nigelhicks Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 St Ives Dh track is also going to be a jol for the noobies - rocky up top then flowing at the bottom with big berms and fun floaters. But lets get through this weekend first

Nofearnofun Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Awesome! I would have been there too for the DH but I'm being force to drink copious amounts of alcohol on Saturday night. Will give the DH a try at St. Ives! I intend to drink my fare share at the club on Saturday night... hell I might even double park! All in the name of supporting the club of course Point being, you can drink on Saturday night and ride DH on Sunday. Just don't drink between runs on Sunday...
