Daft Vader Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 Hey guys. Anyone looking for a neck brace? I am now the MTB dealer for Omega brace so if you are looking for some neck protection that doesn't look like a toilet bowl give me a shout. www.omegabracesa.com Duane 083 457 1923 How much?
Flat_0ut Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 Yeah the first round of DH race was awesome and bloody cold! But how many of you guys went off the track?? Was irritating to be going off the track at full speed and then to clear the last doubles in the wind!My brother and Eric took lots of photos of the race and will be uploaded on www.pinkbike.com. Geeez Duane what did you drink to snap your chain right at the start!!!You got elephant legs Like your racing kit. Good news...We got permission to extend the vineyard side track (Late Harvest) all the way to the Taal Monument fence. Building will start in this week. Hope it will be ready for the Shuttle Day. Shuttle Day this Sunday, R80. Some track info:At the moment the track got major changes. A new rock garden to keep you on your toes. A new 8 meter gap, the landing is not tall, but is long. A drifty corner follows after the landing and to a rock drop to a compression to a bermed corner with a jump inside the corner! All the corners have been fixed. A huge hip jump near the bottom of the track, at the big bomb hole. This thing is balls to the wall and BIG!!! The landing is steep and very soft, so please take care NOT to walk on the landing! Future plans: Build the new start area, then connect track to a big, rocky step down, build a new off camber section with tight switchbacks which will take you to the new rock garden. At the bottom near the finish area, we would like to build a big step down, double thing. Hopefully this track will be used as the race track in September.See you all this Sunday!Cheers Flat_0ut2010-05-31 10:35:32

Pricing is as follows Model PriceX1 R 2900.00Y1 R 2800.00S1 R 2600.00 The protection factor is the same for all the braces. I personally have the S1 and it works very well.

I break a chain every 2 weeks. Hehe. I need to lay off those Steroids. I bought the kit from Jonty. R500.00. I bought my helmet from Andrew too. My wife reckons I am a real Neethling groupie. I'm amped for the race at Sir Lowrys. Such a fun track. You Paarl boykies musn't boycott like you did the last time we had a race there. I wish I could make it to the shuttle day on Sunday but i have to put in time at home. I'll deff make a turn there in the next few weeks tho.
