How We Came About
Toward the end of 2006, CheLan was asking me (the webmaster of puppet @ fireball the sweeper @ beareye) about MTB activity and was ineterested in getting into the xtvt.  Though he used to cycle roadbikes, he has never really looked at MTB in particular. 
I thought this was a good chance to really put my MTB activity into 2nd gear. You see, my MTB xtvt since I first bought a LeRun Fireball back in February 2002 was limited to occasional ride nearby my home at the undeveloped abandoned palm trees plantation.  And that xtvt stopped altogether when that area was finally developed in late 2005.
I happen to know of at least two other long time friends that whom are into MTB.  So, I contacted one of 'em, PokLeh (whom by the way was also was at a slow pace in the xtvt).  At the same time CheLan roped in Faizi, another friend whom CheLan, PokLeh and I knew from our motorbike fraternity.
The first order of business was for CheLan & Faizi to get themselves a MTB.  Apart from advices from me & PokLeh, these two were also seeking feedbacks from Faizi's colleague.  Thus, within two weeks after CheLan & I spoke about getting a group together for the MTB xtvt, CheLan bought himself a MTB (Rockbike -costed around five hundred bucks), and a plan was made to do our maiden xtvt together.  PokLeh & me of course already had our bikes; while Faizi said his colleague would lend him a bike until he buy one.  And this colleague, CheMat,  will be joining us on the newly formed MTB group - well it was not really a group yet at the time.
After much discussions (via email of course), we were set to do our first MTB ride at FRIM.  PokLeh also roped in his colleague - Nizam @ Seken, whom was his riding gang before.  Thus on the historical date of 6th Jan 2007, the pioneers of LoSkA MTBoKL met and as they say, the rest is history....
 
How We Became LoSkA ...
When the 'geng' first got together, we thought that it would only be appropriate to give ourselves a name...  With no unique ideas amongst the pioneering members; and after many emails of suggested names, we settled with (until a better one came up) The MountainBikers of KL ~ or MTBoKL
However, during our 4th ride, the group (there were more than 10 of us by then) literally got lost in the hills of Kiara.... Led by the ridemaster whom was confident of the route, we went off-trail for a couple of hours.  Some members started shouting in tiredness "lost ka?... we lost ka?.."   So, when got out to civilzation and regained our strengths, we were laughing it off at a restaurant (about how we got lost....)... and the group sort of agreed that from then on we would call ourselves LoSkA Mountain Bikers ...

Geng LoSkA ...

.... are made of a friendly lot.   These are the people that made it all happen... while having FUN....

1.  PokLeh

On why he rides MTB ~   "(1) one of thrilling way of having FUN.. FUN for me means... adrenalin rush.. being adrenalin junkies.. taking chances/calculative risk..overcome fear and obstacle..     (2) Skill.. developing skill and mind..improving reflect..for better FUN factor and usage outside biking world..    (3) Technology freaks.. love technology about bikes.. high tech stuff make me horny..keh keh keh..    (4) Health..before you can go DH, you have to go UH(moderate only)..coz no cable car going uphill in M'sia for FR/DH ride..if in Whistler Park B.C, I definitely will ride the gondola ..so by doing uphill a bit, I gain a bit of stamina/exercise/workout from there..sikit2 ok looooh..    (5) Meet up with friends..making new friend..maintaining relationship with old friends..."

On why he chooses or prefer that MTB category ~  "1. To achieve the above (1) and (2)..    2. ...not enough stamina/too lazy to do XC ride... don't like torturing myself too much..   3. the bike is cool looking..keh keh keh.."

 

2.  CheLan

"Berjinak dgn basikal semenjak dari darjah 1 lagi...  bermula dgn basikal chopper kemudian ke basikal BMX.   Masuk sekolah menengah bermula dgn basikal bergear (roadbike).  Minat pada basikal tersekat selepas tamat tinggkatan 5 apabila kawan kawan dah mula kerja jadi XTVT ni dah terbantut...sehinggalah penghujung 2006 minat pada basikal bukit pulak menjadi idaman... dgn racun dari kawan kawan seperti abg sabri dan berberapa org lagi dpt lee memiliki sebuah basikal...s ehingga hari ni saya cukup puas hati dgn XTVT riadah berkayuh bersama kawan kawan terutama di hujung minggu.   Bagi saya berbasikal ni adalah satu XTVT sihat disamping dpt berjumpa kawan kawan yg selalunya berintraksi dlm phone dan email.
Jadi bila lagi????? apa yg ditunggu??? join lah kami..........sekian " 
- Nukilan CheLan sendirian berhad.

 

3.  CheMat

kawan baru kita-orang nih... satu opis ngan Faizi (boss Faizi katanya... yg approve loan arituh...hikhik)... Banyak pengalaman bab MTB....  a loyal Specialized user....   

But it had to happen...... I guess loyalty is not such a big thing after all... Chemat finally gave in to his dream.. a FS Haro X6.... and the maiden ride for this mean machine was during the RRI trip on 15th April.....

 

4.  Seken

satu opis ngan PokLeh... jugak kawan baru kita orang... baru sekali jumpa masa First Ride arituh maaaa.... terkejut berok saya sambil meleleh air liur bila tengok dier bak kuar Kona Kikapu dari boot Vios dier.... katanya dah lebey setahun tak ride... ishkkk... patut jual ler kat saya half price.... hehehehehe

Selepas 3 trip, Seken  muncul ngan beskal terbaru dipasaran... KHS AM1000... wahlauweiii... org lain yg terkial2 nak tukar beskal, dier dgn patas kilat tukar dulu...caya larr Seken.  Dan Kikapu dier...hmmmm... tak dapat kat saya, tapi dapat kat Sabri yg sorang lagi tuh....ok larr kan?  Sabri jugaks.... hikhikhikhik...

 

5.  Faizi 

Faizi nih seangkatan ngan saya, baru nak berjinak ngan MTB secara seriosa.... beskal pun belum beli lagi... sewa-free dari CheMat tuh... beskal LeRun tahun nampuluhan...hehehehe... hard tail, stiff sepit udang....!!   Masa 2nd ride arituh, si Faizi nih dah upgrade ke suspension front dah...disamping bertukar kaler bike dier tuh...hikhikhik.. Tapi semasa Kiara torturous ride (4th ride),  Faizi officially rode  his built-up Alite2000....  salute bro.. 3 MTB berbeda dlm masa yg begitu singkat.... hehehehehe

 

6.  Sabri  (the webmaster)

beli Le Run Fireball  tahun 2002 ... wat kayuh area rumah jer petang-petang.   Selama tuh dok terkial-kial carik geng nak ride serious... tapi hampesss.... bila ada yg bakar semangat, huhhh.... baru tahu bukit tinggi ke rendah.... hikhikhik....

Hasil dari gatal mulut kata nak upgrade beskal selepas 3 kali ride, maka pada ride ke-4 di Kiara, saya pun kayuh ler beskal baru...KHS AM1000 gaks, sama macam Seken...hehehehe....

On why I ride MTB ~ "mostly enjoy the ride company apart from being concious on my deteriorating wellness... :)   Maybe the other question to answer is why MTB? why not roadbike etc?  hmmm... love nature and the ruggedness plus road nowadays too dangerous with many roadbullies!"

On why I choose or prefer that MTB category ~  "one phrase - Jack of all trade, master of none....  So, not too extreme in any world, but still capable of doing stuff comfortably... thus for now, AM it is for me..."

 

7.  Shah

meskipun merupakan seorang true newbie dalam MTB scene, semangat yang di tunjukkan memang kami respek gilerrrr..... tak beberapa hari kena racun nagan CheLan, Shah terus angkut sebijik LeRun Solaris... itu sebagai permulaan......  dan citernya, dok practice hampir setiap malam di kwsn perumahan beliau di Bndr Tasik Puteri nun... woooo

15 April 07 -  Shah jugak telah meng-upgradekan beskalnyer dari HT ke T-Bolt Full Susp!!!  Fuyoooo....!!!  Bukan tu jer... nampak itu sucker on his shoulder?  haaaa... tu ler camelkbak MULE terlatest 2007 model tu... Fuyoooooo!!!! 

 

On why he rides MTB ~ "Health - aku takder bersenam sangat... Isnin sampai Jumaat kerja kerja kerja....  Dulu ada geng main bola/takraw kat umah tu... Tapi ramai yg dah ke India, Timur Tengah kerja sana... So geng sudah kurang... Bila kurang, maka jarangla aktivitinya...   So berbasikal utk kesihatan aktor pertama utk aku.      Meet up friends -Dulu jarang sangat jumpa kawan2 sebab sibuk hal keluarga....  Dengan berbasikal, dapat release tension kerja plus kenalan baru.      Explore self limits - suka uji diri sendiri..."

On why he chooses or prefer that MTB category ~  "Like XC activities but more towards Am... Not a pure XC... perlukan XC utk uji diri sendiri... Time panjat bukit tu akan menguji kesabaran dan ketabahan aku...  Aku ni kadang2 tu tak sabar... So, bila berbasikal ni uji tahapaku laaa...  Tapi kadang2 tu aku suka aktiviti2 yg mencabar yg boleh ujudkan adrenalin rush...  Not too rush sampai risikokan nyawa, but enough for me jer...    Contoh terbaik, kat LTM tu. UH/DH/UH/DH (XC)/Teres (utk adrenalin tahap aku laaa... amatur jer)...   Aku suka beskal dalam kategori AM... Tapi kalau dapat yg hard XC pun dah cukup dah..."

 

8.  Udin

 ... lebih mesra ngan panggilan Abang Udin, seorang otai dlm dunia beskal dan memang dah lama mengayuh racing bike di seantero Malaya.....  Cumanya, ada sikit challenge larr biler planned ride di sekitar KL kernanya Abg Udin nih tinggal di Sonangwag, Seremban nun....  Dan utk sementara waktu nih, Udin guna beskal otai, sesuai dgn ke-otai-an nya....hehehehe...

Udin join untuk kedua kalinya semasa MTBoKL 3rd Ride dan kali ni dier kayuh beskal lain plak... HT with front telescopic suspension fork...huhuhuhuhuhuhu... ada sedikit pembaharuan larrr.... tapi yg saya dok perhati, Udin nih time kayuh, pendiam owangyer...hikhikhikhikhikhik.... 

On why he rides MTB ~ "Ehmmm... susah gak nak jawab nih.  Tapi den memang suko ride.  MTB ko... lecing ko... motor ko.... memang suko.   Lopeh ni nak cubo ride kudo plak...  kudo idup bukan kudo bosi... mesti syok nih....  kedekuk... kedekuk... kedekuk... heeeee...... "

On why he chooses or prefer that MTB category ~  "Pilih ride MTB sobab syok ride off road.  Tak do sosak-sosak dongan keto dan lori.   Aman, tenteram.  Suko masuk somak... almaklumlah oghang kampung, memang bosa dalam bolukar...  Kayuh MTB ni pun buek an eden ghaso sihat... kengkawan pulak adventurous.... besh botow lah...       Kalau ado modal sok, eden nak ride the sky.... peeerrrggghhhh.....................  the ultimate in riding.... eeeeeeeeeeeeee..... "

10. MatYen

Sorang atlit yg bakal menggangugugat kedudukan Chelan the King dari segi stamina ox....  mungkin nampak macam Mat Sentul, tapi kayuhan bagai peluru ditembak dari pistol !!!  Beskal CBU, pakai frame Hercules yg dibeli dari CheLan tapi group set rata-rata Shimano Deore!

Tapi selepas dua kali ride, frame bertukar jadik M-8.... termasuk gaks beberpa barangan lain seperti fork etc...

Semangat Wak ni, yg berasal dari Utagha dan setitik darah jowo pun takder dlm tubuh dier.  Sepantas kilat pi carik beskal selepas dapat ok dari ma'am dier utk bergiat dlm xtvt ngayuh nih.  Dan kerana pilihan tepatnya, Kona Kikapu janda Seken terus maintain dlm LoSkA.....  Tapi selepas sekali kayuh, terus jual Kikapu dan angkut Merida AM-500.. chargasss...

 

 

16. Faizal

Tanpa di duga atau disangka-sangka, Faizal telah meracunkan dirinya sendiri dan beli sebijik KHS Alite 300.  Dan dgn semangat waja, beliau telah memg-conquer his maiden ride di Kiara dgn LoSkA nih with flying colors!  Wa suspect...ehhh...respek lu lar bro....  Pastuh, angkut sebijik T-Bolt, namun tak tahan lama.. rasanya lepas sekali ride jer, terjual lah T-Bolt tuh..  Next bike?  Masih jadik misteria (sehingga waktu cetak, 27 Jun 07)...
