KarlvN Posted May 31, 2016 Share Ahhhhh, nice to see everyone getting along re the LAW of the land... YET, I notice that Gert broke an even BIGGER law a few times...tut tut tut... One that would get Patrick Roberts and his gnomes, they of Tygerberg MTB Trail Builder Extraordinaire Fame, extremely red under the collar ready to go all mental on a few unsuspecting riders... What is this law, everyone is asking? It is the one where Patrick is especially vocal and peeved over. It is where a rider of his esteemed trail thinks it a good idea to drag his back brake whilst entering a berm or switchback. O, but yes...to all the complainers...perhaps watch the clip again. Naughty naughty naughty!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matchstix Posted May 31, 2016 Share I must say, there is a huge difference between dragging you brake and when you are going so fat into a corner with the weight over the front and you touch the unweighted rear wheel brake and it looses traction momentarily.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 31, 2016 Share I must say, there is a huge difference between dragging you brake and when you are going so fat into a corner with the weight over the front and you touch the unweighted rear wheel brake and it looses traction momentarily.Also a difference between locking the back brake and dragging it to control speed through the corner. It's the former that needs to be kept under control and minimized. Edited May 31, 2016 by Myles Mayhew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted May 31, 2016 Share Ahhhhh, nice to see ev...Of all 6min worth of action that is all worth commenting on for you? Have you no joy in your life? Maybe we must vote to can this and launch Contego Indoor Trainer Series and just be as Switzerland as one can get. Oh, and if you want to get all technical the clips you refer to is Oli. One could argue that with the amount of time Gert spent in the air he did less damage than any of us plodding along.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 31, 2016 Share I quote http://www.uci.ch/mm/Document/News/NewsGeneral/16/55/11/Judgeguide-ENG_English.PDF Yeah, but STRAVAAAAAA! And in MTB the King Of the Mountain can also be extended to someone who descends the fastest.

T-Bob Posted May 31, 2016 Share Well let's get back to the video rather than the usual infighting! I thought it this series was going to be a bit lame (like how interesting can you make 1 guy trying to go down 1 section over and over again) but in fact it's awesome. Ollie was working the crowd but it fitted in.Well done for thinking a bit differently, giving some thing local to watch and for showing some different trails we may not have visited. I'd like to see a roadie one with the Prices climb in Constantia with some on screen power and heat rate data. Not that I'm a data nerd but my heart tries to leave my body each time I bury the pin up there, it'd be good to see what 'fit' is!
