nolipoli Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I just took delivery of this. Wow!!! (okay and a little brag)Its a pity that it is not normally available. By the way, I started DH at the end of 2009 at age 34, then started Dirt Jumping in 2010 at 35yo. You are never too old to try.

nolipoli Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Nolipoli and The_wes Let me just SEE u on a trail and those bikes will And ill have a new BikeI was in the Mag I know how to hide and wait I used to have this...and then replaced it with a Trance, which just wasn't the same. So I had to get the new Reign imported. I don't know how I will ever ride a different trail bike.
wesley_r Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Nolipoli and The_wes Let me just SEE u on a trail and those bikes will And ill have a new BikeI was in the Mag I know how to hide and wait that's not my reign - the silver one (i wish). here's my current rig, less impressive but i love it... poor thing, it's not going to last long...

I don't know how I will ever ride a different trail bike. there's a reign like your old one for sale here on the hub, but unfortunately the timing is all wrong for me . I rode the 2010 Reign X at the Ride Before You Buy, and absolutely loved it, although it was the wrong size for me. Also climbs surprisingly well for such a big rig!
leet22 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Looking for one with a sore heart. My friend got one for R8500 and she rides like a dream so looking for a bargain like that as well When I didn't have the money loads of bikes now I do nothing

Things are so so, been having a hectic time the last two months, having to look after my very sick father. So not getting to ride so much
Wernervdmerwe Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 /* Shameless plug on The Mojo has been voted best AM rig years years running, and as it happens my previous one is in the for sale section (with or without brand new parts) Shameless plug off */But you welcome to join our little fellowship of 3 and a half, we ares till learning and doing the milder stuff (well, me anyway, the other guys are a bit more confident than me). Paarl is great because you have chicken runs everywhere. We either shuttle or workshop down, doing the stuff over and over trying different lines and speeds.
Cassie Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 A nice little bounce off the ground this morning to remind me I'm not as malleable as I was when I was 17 Amen brother!! I'm also on the wrong side of 40...but it does not stop me from riding like a 18year old!! Only thing is my body take a wee bit longer to recover/heal once the sh!t hit the fan... Like this weekend....ended up in a worn out rut at Oak Valley....with some water added...then I got all cautious and slowed down....BIG mistake...that when I fell!! Second time around i just gave it horns and threw caution tio the wind...and no problem...obstacle - what obstacle?? Just the bruise to remind me i'm not 18 anymore I really wish i did not start to love this sport at such a late stage!! Been checkin out the youngsters....SA must have some serious MTB talent comming through the ranks!!Watch the next few years for new SA world champs in all the disciplines...
wesley_r Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 You always feel it the next day, ugh, feel like I've been put through a tumble dryer!
