Attempted hijack

[chris_w_65]

I got to Northern Farm at 3pm today. Got out of the car and a single rider arrived back in the carpark and said some guys tried to hijack him at Fish Eagle Lake but he got away. I think I will stick to riding in the morning when it is busy there.

So sad. Good he got away!

I'm still intrigued! Are they after the bikes or the small possessions or both?

They need to be tought a leason. This s really messing up our sport.

This is VERY worrying at NF. I thought things were ok there again... I usually go in the afternoons around 3pm as well. Being a female rider this is a major concern for me. Thanks for posting this, else i would not be aware of the situation.

This makes me SO angry! Glad he's OK.

 

Im still waiting to read "hijacker shot by MTBiker" the bastards!

PS: Is there security guards on week days??

 

I've seen them on weekends on the trails, but are they there on weekdays too??

Don't ride there in the afternoon!!! Go to TEAK rather in the afternoon!

They should issue hunting licences and let hunters come to Northern Farm. Not to shoot game but to shoot hijackers. They could lie in the bush and wait for them, would probably make a good sport and Dirt*girl wouldn't be upset about them killing live things

YEAH! OPEN SEASON ON HIJACKERS!!!!

 

The you can trade them in for a 40% discount voucher at your LBS at the police station

Did you call it a day when you heard there was an attempted hi-jack or was there other people around to go ride with.?

Went home. There was another couple that said they were still going to ride but my girlfriend wasn't keen.

Yeah, I would have done the same, no point in testing fate.

Get the paintballers to play real life war games

[chris_w_65]

You can buy these over the counter in the USA. Take out your target from 2km.

That looks like the rifle from Rambo - Just need 1 sniper on the top of a koppie watching all
