True

If you remember some of A A Ron's work from back in the day you would know the only correct way to say this is...

FACT.

Heard in a podcast with Matt Beers that there is a livestream planned for the event. Has anyone figured out where or what that would be?

Hey guys - very keen to see what set ups people are riding for the Gravel Burn: below is some of the ones I have found. Would be keen for people to share others ... or your own set up if you are doing it.

Share that hope but would have thought they would have made more noise about that channel in all their socials ... especially with an Epic media savvy team

First Downhill SA CHAMPS or just First SA MTB CHAMPS, was there a difference back then?

anyway here is the results for the First SA MTB CHAMPS in 1989

I raced a provincial DH against Matt Kimble in 1992, the guy made me look like I was standing still.

If any country can do " gravel " then its SA...will be interesting to see how it goes as an event...and the user experience will be interesting...the alternative epic I suppose...

Amazing the biggest field at 88 riders is the 50-54! Impressive, a lot of eyes on this event.

The first day is going to be wet

Couple pictures from the ole man.

The guy on the pina with a 50 tooth is going to learn a lesson!

When I was with my brother in law doing his registration, there was a guy from Spain telling the story of how all his kit and bike is in Singapore. He was purchasing all new kit. Not sure what he was doing about his bike.

This was published 6 days ago, so looks like we won't be getting a livestream 

[Spafsack]

Looks like a wet stage today. And cold....

So who won?

[DieselnDust]

Not sure who the best swimmer is but I’d look to that skill basis the weather they had today
