swartpiet Posted January 10, 2011 Share Howzit all you cycling addicts, We are launching a new web site end of Jan (www.alloutmtb.co.za). The main aim of the site is to bring you action video clips of the MTB routes/trails and races in SA. Together with the video clips you will be able to view gps maps and altitude profiles, max and min ascents/descents etc etc. The clips will mainly feature highligts to give you a taste and wet the appetite to do the trails and ride the races. At the end of the year will bring out a huge dvd package with all the complete video clips and info of the trail/races we did for the year. We will also be do review rite-ups on the trails and races and comments from various riders (including some pro's) doing the races. The site will feature loads more like bike/component reviews (we actually ride the bikes we review)list of events for the yearlist of cycling shops in SATraining and nutrition articlesActual excercise video clipsAlso clips of some spectacular crashesMember Loyalty club offering great discounts and other benefits with various cycling shops and other retailersInterviews with some of the big guns in cycling, including riders, organizers, coaches, trail trackers, shop owners, sponsors etc and lots more We will be advertising here on the hub from end Jan so watch out for the banners and please check it out. SA have been waiting a long time for a site like this. Note that the site will not feature Forums as we would rather have everyone support all the hard work thehubsa has been doing for the cycling community. We will therefor support these forums. What we will have is the ability for members to comment on almost anything on the site. So remember to check us out on on 31 Jan 2011. have an awesome day and ride strong.

covie Posted January 10, 2011 Share sounds good, and please plan the usuability of the site, 99% of SA sites suck on a usability level, people seem to think slow loading graphics and 5000 animations is all a site needs. Form must meet function Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Form must meet function I must say that one of the biggest motivations behind the site is the poor quality of SA sites, we want to improve big time on that. Its almost embarrassing looking at some SA sites. We are putting in a lot of effort into making the site as usable and simple as possible. Graphics have been kept to a bare min. The design will be clean and simple. We will be going through a maturing phase like with most web sites that are done the right way where we will need a lot of input from everyone to constantly improve.

JohnnyReggae Posted January 13, 2011 Share Just another reminder to check us out end of Jan 2011 at www.alloutmtb.co.zaA suggestion perhaps ? You may want to have some sort of web page up when you publish your URL for your web site, even if it says under construction, or Launching 1 Feb, etc... The URL currently just has a parked domain notice from IS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerus Posted January 14, 2011 Share Also possibly add links to accomadation in the area near the trails, as well as other activities in the area. Just a thought, especially if families are involved. Edited January 14, 2011 by Caerus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swartpiet Posted January 14, 2011 Share Also possibly add links to accomadation in the area near the trails, as well as other activities in the area. Just a thought, especially if families are involved. Thats already built in. The trails or MTB destination as we call it will have detailed info on accommodation (and rates where possible), activities, GPS co-ordinates, map to get there. We will also have video clips and or pictures of the actual venues itself.Together with that we will write a short review of each venue and its trails and rate it. Members will be able to comment on each listing and also rate the listings. I appreciate all suggestions, please keep them coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
