Thermophage Posted October 30, 2017 Share I rode Tokai yesterday for the first time in years. Trails are badly marked and in some spots super dangerous. If you going to charge R75, you need to up your game. Hmmm....the downs are well marked and all trails crossing the jeeptrack climbs. So....dangerous...hmmm...yeah no.If you don'want dangerous, take up knitting as MTB is not for you man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermophage Posted October 30, 2017 Share Fixed Deon, I'm not on Vleisboek / Tweeta - what options are available to make donations to the trail fund?loooo...>Actually IMHO they are *** dangerous as the amount of speed you get on those smooth sections are a recipe for serious pain when you come off.

(Deon) Posted October 30, 2017 Share Look. There may be truth in this person's comment. We need to establish what has been seen and what can be done to remedy the situation if it is warranted. Vague posts will do nothing. The fact remains, Tokai welcomes riders of all skills from everywhere and for many people returning to Tokai, they're happy to have the same old gnarly trails back but for others who are starting out, or accomplished at grinding many miles of gravel trails, the experience can definitely leave one shaken. #PSA EDIT: as long as "upping one's game" is not dumbing down trails.

porqui Posted October 30, 2017 Share I rode Tokai yesterday for the first time in years. Trails are badly marked and in some spots super dangerous. If you going to charge R75, you need to up your game. You need to do a skills training course as in pronto - well worth it. DH0 is definitely marked. "You" does not charge a penny - you are welcome to join "us" on any build day you may even get a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Deon) Posted October 30, 2017 Share Fixed Deon, I'm not on Vleisboek / Tweeta - what options are available to make donations to the trail fund?We have a donation portal on our website but not been pushing it due to the few changes we are about to make regarding how TokaiMTB operates. We'll make an announcement in a few days and then get to work with the structures that are required to make a success of it. This is our first big step towards a sustainable income that will fund the trail development planned for the next two years. The trails you see now are the start of the first phase, to refurb, then link, then add new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoffel76 Posted November 9, 2017 Share I rode Tokai yesterday for the first time in years. Trails are badly marked and in some spots super dangerous. If you going to charge R75, you need to up your game. Maybe antonthejob forgot the comic sans font?? Trails are the best signposted they've been since I can remember (I first started mtbing around 2003/4...) Rode Tokai for the first time in a couple of months on Sunday - Coming down Vasbyt, someone's put a nice berm on a right hand corner where there used to be tree roots across the path! Nice job!! The grin on my mug was slightly bigger than normal by the time I got to the bottom! But that also may have had something to do with being able to exit straight out on the old jeep track, rather than backtrack up the mountain! Good job Deon and everyone involved in the upkeep of the trails! Thanks for all your hard work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
