Tankman Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Pinner bru, you win kit of the day!Collect another beer when passing Dead Mans Tree ... Someone else had the bike ... to go with your kit though!
Tankman Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Well Done Dirk and Leon, I rode with you guys in 2013!
Tankman Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 And that is a wrap folks, week flown past in a flash ... till next year!
MTBeer Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Well yes maybe... but you know all about the Epic and are contributing to a thread about the Epic and know very little or nothing about another facet of the sport. So I'd say you fit exactly in the mold of the typical SA mountainbiker. My informal poll revealed that nobody outside my gravity oriented chommas had any idea who Brett Rheeder is...no my point was that some people aren't fanboys of any sport, but prefer to just go out and enjoy themselves regardless. The type of riding I enjoy is gravity orientated, but obviously I've heard of the Epic. I don't follow it though and to be honest didn't even know who won. I've also heard of the Argus and TdeF and I'm not a roadie.
CogitoErgoSum Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Who is Brett Rheeder is he on the Bikehub?My guess is it is this Headshot shooting his mouth about no one knowing him... Dammit, if someone is not moaning about the epic being too easy, then someone is moaning on a marathon thread about a guy that is earning millions (?) doing slopestyle, yet not getting recognition for it. Wait, now I am moaning. Alrighty then. Cheers Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
BuffsVintageBikes Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Slopestyle is awesome to watch but you don't have the average middle aged mtber sitting there going "wow, I'd love to give that a go one day".Marathon mtb appeals to the masses in the same way Comrades appeals to the broader running community more than a 100m sprint does.

Exactly ^^^ The inherent riskiness of slopestyle, downhill and even enduro will always make it more of a niche than a mass participation sport. The hub moans about SA being "marathon obsessed" is really getting old.
