Thats more like it.

 

Cape Town needs less xc & more enduro.

 

Look like we will be having 2 events in some of the months, I'm so amped for that.

I hope this isn't just the Enduro CLASS in the WPDH DH races, though...

 

Hope it's a fully fledged Enduro race calendar, like Dirtopia's. If it's just the Enduro class, I'll be a bit miffed.

I think I'm being optimistic but I think it is enduro format, not dh enduro class. Cz the heading says ENDURO SEASON.[emoji12]

 

Do I need a full face to ride enduro class though?

Which trance you riding? U did really well for your first enduro, I've been trying to get into top 50 for the past 6 or so enduros I've completed.

But yeah enduro format is "vrek lekker", I ride this was on weekends in any case. At the events I get to see the awesome skill of others and meet awesome people.

Thanks TAAHIRWP, I was riding a 2014 Trance with the red Fatboy bars. It took me a while to get into the swing of the race, that first stage was hecticly rocky and those hairpin bends rattled my cage somewhat, especially since I wasn't wearing knee guards.

I guess the nerves never helped much either but once it started to flow I was able to ride a lot smoother.

Now that I have a better idea of what to expect, I'll hopefully be a little better prepared at the next event :thumbup:  

 

Gotta admit, the competition is damn fast, some of those boys can handle a bike, WOW :eek:

Excuse my ignorance but what's the difference? Is the Enduro class just a class that competes on the DH course rather than a dedicated Enduro trail? If so, please tell me there's plenty of chicken runs, there no way in hell I'll hit one of those gap jumps :eek:

Yeah. Separate class for the guys who ride the DH series on a bike with single crown forks. Same course, same day, just a separate classification.

where did you see the schedule? Link please.

 

But no, FF is not a requirement for riding enduro class, only that you ride a bike with a single crown fork.
