Nah, its been gone a long time. It was at the end of the dual course. That idiot in the orange land rover thought it would be fun to drive over.

Fox doesn't make a shock with a 3.5 inch stroke. But yes, a high quality damping system is needed to run the recommended 40% sag and obtain effective results. Thats the basics of what I understand from talking to Patrick Morewood.

Its a 2006

I've got a few but most of them are out of date, the course has been changed drastically in the last 2 months with the addition of new obstacles and such. As soon as the rain stops I'll take a xc ride up and snap some pics.

From the pietermatirzburg world cup website
"The official national and African host broadcaster for the event is MNET SuperSport. There will be a daily highlights package of each day’s races broadcast on the day following the event. There will also be inserts in the Blitz Bulletin and there will be a 52 minute highlights package on the week of activities broadcast a week after the event draws to a close.

This is over and above the guaranteed television coverage generated through the UCI arrangements.

Flighting times and channels will be published closer to the time."

Or you just use a sequence shot? Its not that complicated.

except its not it uses a different linkage system, very slightly different, but still different. While the Commencal uses a thrust link design, just like the Rocky Mountain RM9, Turner DHR and others, the Morewood uses a pull link, the reasoning is that its stiffer and stronger because aluminium is stronger under tension than it is under compression.

Its pretty dam fine, I prefer it to the ecd but I haven't had much chance to ride it on any technical stuff. Its pretty snappy and flickable, really nice.

that is correct sir. He got the first one in South Africa about a month ago. and incase you are wondering, Travis is on the new Morewood Makulu

that photo was taken a while ago so it might have been, im not too sure anymore.

What do you mean??

you right, he didn't even clear half way.

Which would also include my 1999 Kona Stab Dee-Lux, my 2001 Kona Stab Primo and my brothers 2001 Stab Primo?? Of the four 1999 Kona stab dee-lux's that Greg Minnaar Racing(our local lbs) sold in 1999, I know that 3 are still running, im not sure about the forth though but it may very easily still be going. So much of all of them snapping ey, go find another bike company that can say that 3 out of a random four bikes are still going 10 years later and then come argue your point.

thanks man.

exactly Eric, POD isnt a picture of the biggest gap or most crazy trick. POD is supposed to be a picture that captures the essence of mountain biking or bmxing or what ever. It must make you say: "wow, i wanna go ride now" not "O my f@*kin holy hell that guy is crazy". Before theres been PODs of guys on xc bikes riding alot a hill, everyone can do it but because of the scenery and the mood that the picture evokes in each individual is the reason its POD. I only do xc for fitness for dh and dont ride bmx at all but alot of the xc and bmx pods get me in the mood to ride.

fork was dead straight when i took this photo, its nd old boxxer world cup. but i did end up snapping the arch and bending the stantions casing a double.

no, its a blackbox fork

the red bull can is plusher than any other shock out there!!! ok?!?!?

greg minnaar racing have got him on a "half-sponsorship" like with free services and discounts and all that, i think.

its been out for long already, whats the big deal that he has one??? my mate got his vivid like 3/4 months ago

no... it was the 888's i tell you

agreed, i had a 1999 stab delux and i flat landed from 2+ meter up so many time i lost count and generally hacked like a red headed step child over my 1st year riding(last year) and it never coughed even once, 2 dents in the frame and 8 years of constant racing all the way from world cup races then winning national and provincial championships before its rider was killed in a car crash and i bought the bike..

Ey.. It wasn't me.. The guy decided to do a road gap and cased.. Feet blew off the pedals and pushed the seat post down behind the compressed shock as you can see.. At the moment that bike is in at greg minnaar racing(our bike shop) for warrenty on the frame.. Haha..

i was gonna say exactly what you said, but as far as i know south africa doesnt operate black hawk choppers.. its a yank helicopter.. but the shark is south african, seal island off cape town is the only place in the world where great whites breach like that
