nigelhicks Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 This is making me wonder about early 2021 in SA ....We (CSA) have plans already in place for the National DH Cup series and SA Champs DH to happen early in 2021. I have 3 of 4 venues lined up already with the 4th province confirmed last night. ... Dates for the first races will be revealed soon.. but 2 of the venues will have lift access.. also we are in talks to have the first round of the cup series ranked as a UCI cat 2 event so that our guys and girls can get UCI points for their world cup campaigns. As for Enduro. ... Although we had to cancel the SA Champs for 2020. The same venue will host for 2021 and it's going to be INSANE. Also some lift access. And possibly a SA E-Enduro Champs too. All will be revealed soon once I have stuff signed off. ChrisF, Hairy and amac 3
MrJacques Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 seeing as we have no 2020 footage Wow, those handlebars are narrow! Bikes and courses have changed a lot over the years.
Headshot Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 https://www.pinkbike.com/news/final-results-french-downhill-national-championships.html Its not WC, yet, but top drawer racing nonetheless. Seems like Amaury P is having a bad run of luck this year and B Coulange is killing the other Frenchies. EWS Zermat coming up at the end of the month too. Yay. Anyone interested in the #enduro method and bike development should subscribe to Lewis Buchanan's youtube channel. The guy is crazy fast. Hairy 1

Bos Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 I just want to see The French Abergine take another podium.
Bos Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) So Pardon me, but when are we actually going to see some racing?

Not too shabby.
Stretch Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 I see it's snowing in Austria already...... Duane_Bosch 1
Duane_Bosch Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) I see it's snowing in Austria already......Yeah it's pretty early for snow that's for sure. Long range weather prediction is for some A LOT OF rain. The question is who's been training and who's been throwing whips in the bikepark? I'm calling Danny Hart for the win. In the ladies Nina Hoffman. It will be checkers or wreckers for her but that's the nature of Worlds anyway. Edited September 28, 2020 by Duane_Bosch Headshot 1

It will be checkers or wreckers for her but that's the nature of Worlds anyway.It has been so long I do not even know who rides DH anymore In the rain it could be anyone's game, but yes Danny would be a very strong contender. I am keen to see how Shark Attack fares in this short season after being focused and training for Enduro ... dude looks the leanest and meanest he has ever been, and with a great team for support I think should be treated as the underdog. Would love Nina to win, or even Vali. Duane_Bosch and Eddy Gordo 2
