  1. After having to replace my Rock Shox SID lowers under warranty... I had the opportunity to customize the decals with the help of the legendary Tyrone! The outcome looks amazing with the 2016 Rock Shox SID decal design. Many thanks to everyone that helped me to find Tyrone on the hub. I would definitely recommend this guy for any kind of decal design you have in mind!
  2. Hi guys, can anyone send me the contact details of Tyreone? I'm looking for 2015 Rock Shox Sid decals PLZZZZ
  3. Hi guys I know this might sound strange/new to some people but there is something that I do before every ride, that nothing can stand against, and that is prayer. Do that before you go out for a ride, wherever you go. It is the best protection from any harm and full proof! Blood of Jesus over me, legion angels around me and trust me, nothing can stand against that! You are fully covered then!! Just thought I'd share that with you guys. Njoy safe riding!
  4. We are riding there every weekend. The technicality is awesome and there are more smooth sections. Once the trails get too smooth and easy the technical challenge is also fading which will not be cool. Heinrich and his team is already working on everyone's requestes and they will see that the best balance between technicality and ease of riding will be provided. Just remember, we are mountain biking, not doing some kind of glorified road riding. Get on it and train those skills guys If you want any level of skills training, please inbox me, I present them for riders staring out up to advanced levels. #lovetheride!
  5. Glad to hear you like the trails GlockG4! I also think the guys did a fantastic job there! We will ride the trails this weekend again to check for the route markings, but as far as I'm aware all is still all in place. Your skills will improve for sure by riding those trails! Enjoy safe, fun and accident free riding there!!
  6. The new Klapperkop trails are perfect as they are Blitzer! The guys who built them put a lot of hard work and planning in developing the trails! Please DO NOT change anything in the trails! The switchbacks are unique to the newly developed trails which are not found elsewhere! It is one of the ONLY trails where XCO racers can go train switchbacks with that character and have a really good technical challenge! We are training there basically every weekend! Please respect the workmanship of the people who actually worked their butts off to make Klapperkop more accessible! If you can't ride sections on a track you have an option : Practice it till you can ride it! There are more than enough trails that are easier! This is no joke Blitzer! We are a few guys training on those routes so please do not upset the mountain bikers in the area by changing the routes. Respect someone else's initiative and hard work and LEAVE THE TRAILS AS THEY ARE. Those who built it are the only ones allowed to change something to the routes, period! If you have suggestions for the trails you can mention them and the management will discuss changes. We therefore thank everyone reading this for their cooperation.
