National Champs Round 1!
The 1st round of the SA National DH series has gone down and what an awesome weekends racing it was. The track was fairly testing and a number of riders were caught out in its rough technical sections. Watching guys going through the rougher bits it was also clear that very few guys set up their bikes for this track. And pogo stick rebound was causing a lot of guys to crash. Greg Minnaar, Tim Bentley, and Pottie were in a league of their own, and put a huge margin into the rest of their competitors.
Here are some pics and results at the bottom.
