Kiwi Posted August 25, 2008 Share Man, any race where you can take a short cut if you sink a shot of whisky has got to be the best. Are there any single speed mountain bike races here in SA? <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Kiwi2008-08-25 00:04:13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted August 25, 2008 Share is this the 24-hour champs? didn't they tattoo the winners one year and brand them the next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted August 25, 2008 Share Not sure about that but I think last year the winner was presented with golden speedos, no fancy UCI shirt. Bet those old codgers cringe when they see this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet those old codgers cringe when they see this![/quote'] the "blazers" would keel over! i came across this written before the 24-hour. seems they're different events: http://www.vorb.org.nz/article-77797.html"It's great to be in the last couple of days of the countdown to race start on Saturday, April 26," says event director, Dean Watson. "The Speights is on ice for the after-match party, our great team of volunteers is ready to go, the design of the tattoo for the top man and woman is finalized, the official T-shirt is on sale, and it's time to race." Singlespeed mountain biking is experiencing rapid growth with World Championships attracting bigger and bigger fields every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusTi Posted August 25, 2008 Share It used to be a tattoo, then 1 guy won it for the 3rd year and they figured he had enough of those so they gave him a brand instead, besides it takes less time and you can do it on the podium (if you want to of course).The basic saying is, if you don't want a tattoo don't start.

MintSauce Posted August 25, 2008 Share As mentioned before my favorite was still '06 when the SS race served as 'qualifying' for a go-kart race, the winner of which was crowned SS World Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
