Did you do the road gap

[Capricorn]

if I did, will i finally qualify as a human?

[DownhillingKing]

Um depends if you did or didn't do it?

[Capricorn]

since you so unhealthily obsessed with the abilities of others, you best go to Jonkers to see for yourself.

? until then, feel to free have an opinion. everyone's entitled to one, no matter how wrong it might be

you remind of those noobs on CSS who are obsessed with KPD. as if that's ever a measure of anything worthwhile..

No well I was just about to say that if you had done the gap that very nice girl might have been so impressed and given you her number.

hey boys im back! the forum stopped sending me emails every time you guys posted probably since the las time i posted was like 3 months ago

 

 

 

u guys must do the paarl road gap. its like a glorified pavement. oh and cap. got my fork fixed, its off the hook now..... omg

[Capricorn]

DHK:wouldn't ?have mattered if I managed to road gap off table mountain. She had a BF. very meh...irrespective.. just giving credit where it's due. She was very good looking. didnt mean i wanted to jump her pardon the pun.. ?

welcomeback panik. thehub had a massive software glitch that reset all subscriptions. that's why you didnt get any email notifications.

glad your fork is fixed. when we going ?to paarl? I hope there is a shuttle session this coming weekend. Also, why didn't u ride at Jonkers. I reckon you would have podiumed in your category.

What ever you say man. Cap I must show you this other trail Adrian showed me was pretty awesome! nice few drops and corners.

btw guys: take a good hard look at LBS hardware prices before shopping off CRC. seems quite a few LBS are willing to go toe2toe with their overseas competition. My recent experience hsa been with Action Cycling, where Marco has been offering some prices, that when compared with total cost in getting it from CRC (taxes + shipping etc), it's just about the same price.

DHK: getting some sun ringle action from Action cycling, MTX 33s. Just need to squirrel away some $$ to get some decent hubs.

talk about hubs, heard some Industry 9 hubs at Jonkers: it was quite different from the Hope hub noise. and VREK loud

i got fricken exams DAMMIT! wanted to ride so bad! yeah the is a shuttle day this weekend. they have completely rebuild the off camber track and added a 6m road gap and a big ass hip

[DownhillingKing]

6m? you sure?

[Capricorn]

DHK: I havent seenthe track. but spoke with one of the dirtopia dudes that hangs out at Paarl. THey got permission to build from near the gate at the Taal monument. It will have a high speed section that culminates in that massive road gap Panik is referring to, which then flows into a rock garden, and then into a very steep section. sounds very interesting.

 

Btw: if u want some stoke for a 6m double, look at how many heli-lifts they had this year's US Open at the very last double before the finish line.

[Capricorn]

Panik:Your eduction and what stems from it is probably your real future if the bike story doesnt work out. So work hard and nail the exams. The trails will always be there.

[DownhillingKing]

We don't right mid year exams!!! Yusss! Havn't even done the road gap at tokai yet and that no where near 6m

[Panik0703]

lol yeah. been so bored i have now gotten one footers off pavement dialed in on the dj bike. pretty fun

[Panik0703]

the road gap at tokai is even more boring than paarl. when u guys do it you will hit yourself when you see how its soo not what it is thought to bePanik07032010-05-30 14:13:04
