lock Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 Great fun! Pity about ss2 timing issues, was a great stage. Looking forward to the next one. Meezo and Rushdee 2
V18 Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 I had such a lekker day out. Everything worked. Bike. Legs. Trails. Tried out some new lightweight body armour too. Didn't get to put it to test but good to know its light and barely noticeable. Got to protect the dadbod. Rushdee, Meezo, T-Bob and 1 other 4
Tankman Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 That was Riaan, one of the dudes that I ride with. Took a PROPER stack. In hospital now, nothing super serious, but still won't ride for a while. Yea ... Proper! Eish man, heal up soon! Capricorn, PhilipV, Hairy and 1 other 4
Rushdee Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 Both the primary and backup system failed for st2 apparently. Excluding it for everyone is therefore the right thing to do.No announcement or publication from the event's organizers.
Lance Cruz Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 Outstanding capture of a very unfortunate event. Frame rate and focus tracking collaborated perfectly. Capricorn, Tankman and PhilipV 3

Tankman Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 Amazing capture there Tankman!!! Were you on route today? And the only photographer?  I was on route ... although it was not very spectator friendly, especially if you are dragging your photo gear up, over and to the other side of the mountain!  Got my exercise in for the day though! Saw Ewald Sadie there as well, he was much more mobile than me on his Giant E-bike, very clever!  Will upload some more shots as I work through them Eddy Gordo 1
Albatross Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 Yea ... Proper! Eish man, heal up soon! 750_9757.jpg750_9758.jpg750_9759.jpg750_9760.jpg750_9761.jpg750_9764.jpgI'm just thinking "Let go of the handlebars, let go of the handlebars" when I see those pics. Glad to hear he is relatively ok, nice pics. Tankman 1
Lance Cruz Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 Seeing it separated into frames, you always think what the rider could have done. But he's effectively a passenger, that sequence is running at 1/2500th of second. That's a lot faster than a blink of the eye. Tankman, Meezo and Capricorn 3

Oh F@k!Â
