Patchelicious Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Holy friggen COW!! Owen clearly has issues!
Sidmouth Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Owen, buddy. a calmer diplomatic response was needed, you blew it.
DJLouw Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 I also rode at Jonkers yesterday, markings was not that clear to me. We also encountered runners at the start of the (second contour) Canary single track going down which was just closed off by a branch and runners was asking us do they need to go down here?

We also encountered runners at the start of the (second contour) Canary single track going down which was just closed off by a branch and runners was asking us do they need to go down here?Yes, we passed this point on our ride up and then came down the same trail they were - a few branches across the trail to show the way. Still waiting for the pics.
Rocket-Boy Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 It doesnt really matter who it was, assuming they were deliberately changed of course.What matter is what utter dicks they would need to be to do it.Imagine losing a race win or podium just because someone thought it would be funny to change a direction marker?!?
Surv0MTB Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 May have been runners who thought it would be funny....but actually more than likely some errant bikers who dont want runners in Jonkers or just plain old **** organisation.. which they will never own up to.
dev null Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Owen picking fights with the wrong people. To say that Christiaan is no more welcome at Wildrun races is shooting yourself in the foot. It would be easy for a top runner like him to get a crowd of the top runners to boycott Wildrun races.
Headshot Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Sounds like Owen doesn't handle criticism too well...
Sidmouth Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Anyone remember that Nissan trail seekers ride, when all the farmer works changes the sign, it was a mess,
Meezo Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Has Owen posted his pics anywhere yet? nope but my guess, they staging it right now at jonkers... taking pics and then posting it!
Shebeen Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 May have been runners who thought it would be funny....but actually more than likely some errant bikers who dont want runners in Jonkers or just plain old **** organisation.. which they will never own up to.or someone who wanted to beat the guys behind him...or maybe someone who doesn't like Owen and wants to ruin his race/reputation....or the banghoek ghost. either way - blaming it on the mtb community is poor form, even if it is okes on mtb that did this - it just widens the gap between the two user groups further. share the trail (even if it is trail running on purpose built mtb tracks)

It would be easy for a top runner like him to get a crowd of the top runners to boycott Wildrun races.and, Christiaan has also organised races himself in the past - so he's not some misinformed prima donna runner.
Patchelicious Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 or someone who wanted to beat the guys behind him...or maybe someone who doesn't like Owen and wants to ruin his race/reputation....or the banghoek ghost. either way - blaming it on the mtb community is poor form, even if it is okes on mtb that did this - it just widens the gap between the two user groups further. share the trail (even if it is trail running on purpose built mtb tracks)By the way he is conducting himself, my money is on the "someone who doesn't like Owen" scenario....
