Cool. I will find out today or tomorrow when the best time will be to get the bobcat - but i may be able to get it on the long weekend (Easter) then I have it for a good couple of days at Giba to use it rather than just 2 days on a weekend. Keen to finish off the Gravity route first and then move onto the DH.

I want to actually make the DH more rider friendly too so that most of you trail riders can also ride it.

Hey Nige,

I am sure that you have been told this numerous time already, but cracking job on the WC course :thumbup: It is nice to know that there is somebody dedicated to doing such a fantastic job!

Any idea when there will be one of those "Introduction to DH" days where the trail/XC guys can have a go with the DH boys to see what it is like? If I am available, I would be keen to haul my ass up the mountain to help out on the build day even if it is just for a few hours.

Does anybody know what happened to the Gravity Dice series?
Don't surrender your life to the momentum of mediocrity. Keep following your dreams and one day you will tick them off.

Gravity Dice died a very quick death due to lack of riders. HOWEVER ..... KZNMTB is starting (so I have heard from the Chairman himself) an ENDURO series similar to that of the overseas Enduro Races. I will give more details as I hear about them, but its a Gravity-fed timetrial down XC trails (with a bit of climbing here and there).

As for the "Introduction DH days" ... I will organise 1 or 2 this year including the DH memorial Event which is our annual fun "newbie-friendly" event which will be in like July/August.

Let me chat to one of the other guys and see when and how we can organise an "Introduction Day" ... we have a really nice short course near Cascades that I could use that has a very quick shuttle. So if i organise something like this would you guys be keen to come and try it out?

And if we have a spare bike or 2 to try would you like that too??
