Bos Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 So after following the post-event press on here during the year and watching the awesome pics and videos, i think i need to join in the fun next year if possible. it also helps seeing footage from the laymen. Not everyone is a greg minaar lol. So thanks for that. i have 1 bike at the moment....a steel hardtail - i think i need to invest in some squish up front for it so i can swop it out depending on the riding i do. i love the bike though. it is rigid at the moment as thats the kind of riding i do with the wife. its fine....but i'm SOOO bored on most rides. i need something else to get me going. i cant buy a whole new bike - because reasons. What are the hardtail entries like at these? i'm highly competitive...so i don't ever want to be last....sometimes at my own peril...If you're Fit, and have good trail riding skills like you probably do, you'll be absolutely fine. Do It! I'm hooked on riding like I haven't been in years after this event and already thinking about next year! Duane_Bosch, MORNE , Dan Dob and 2 others 5

And that's the main point, right? Edited October 15, 2019 by Captain Fastbastard Mayhem MORNE and Bos 2

And that's the main point, right?i come from racing background (albeit in other disciplines/sports) and i'm a firm believer that you can only go faster - by racing against people better than you lol. So i'm not scared to dive into the deep end and learn. i'm not a n total noob and i'm not scared to do silly **** on a bike. the vibe at these just look awesome though. seems like i'm missing out big time and I need some more bromance in my life Edited October 15, 2019 by morneS555 Dan Dob, Bos, nox1111 and 1 other 4
