Starting off

[Eugee]

I do have a semi retired Troy Lee designs D2 that you can have for 1k. 1 careful lady owner never been crashed in. Ok scratch that last bit. It's in pretty good nick and most importantly doesn't smell like the inside of a dogs ear.

 

also. I have it on very good authority that you can get a BRAND NEW mongoose bootr apprentice for R17500.00. a full bike for 17.5k. They will be available from mid December if Pottie is to be believed.

 

Now that sounds awesome, Where will they be available or who can I bug to confirm the ETA.

I had a look at Obike recently and they have some good deals. I bought a Teocali Elite as I am heading the same way. I want to try the gnarly stuff but still want to do the odd XC race as well. I will hone the technical skills and ride the races with one bike. Albeit a bit more effort!!

Good Luck! Like they said before spend the money on a helmet... How much to spend? How much is your head worth!!!

In the above Mongoose Freeride link,

 

The Mongoose Pinn R Foreman - 2009 is a good deal, has a very decent spec and is more than capable to handle almost anything that will be thrown at you. Price is excellent. Almost 50% off

 

Here's a review on it:

how do I contact this mate of yours? sounds like a sweet deal

 

His name is Nick. 083 274 6779 tell him Duane gave u the number.

Yeah - good advice so far. I see you in Stellies, you can always come with us as well - much more helpful to have someone to follow or ask or just follow their lines.

We are still en route to DH, doing more AM at the moment, learning drop, gaps and so forth - we all on 6" bikes.

 

So you more than welcome to join us at Tokai / Paarl / Eden if you want sometime?

 

I have some extra protective gear I am looking at selling, so you can always fit them and give them a ride to feel it out - some just fit weird and it becomes a distraction.

 

When next you planning on going out?

[Stryder]

Hi Marc, shot for joining today. Awesome wipe out as well. I hope it has not dampened your choice of riding. See you next time?

Only thing that landing did was make sure I am more prepared next time (on maybe a smaller lump). Thanks for helping the new guy.
