Action Cameras Skydiving Xmas Party 2011

Why spend your company Xmas party at a restaurant when you can spend it falling through the sky at terminal velocity!?!?! Well, that's how the Action Cameras Team want to celebrate an awesome year :)

Check out this awesome video of our 2011 Xmas party all shot on the Drift helmet cams and hand cam rigs. A big thanks goes out to the gents from Rustenburg Skydiving Club for getting us to the ground in one piece and for the awesome video edit.

MTB Spring Classic 45k race

Part of the Action Camera Team braved the seasons first mountain bike race, the EQSTRA Spring Classic. For anyone who missed out, this is an awesome race to kick off the season and to explore the surprisingly vast farmlands hidden just beyond Johannesburg. You start in Helderfontein Estate and wend your way around dams, over hills, through paddocks, and all the way through to seemingly unspoiled african bush. Anyone with a keen birdwatching eye would also enjoy the birdlife in the area, we had a few nice sightings including the grey hornbill which isn't normally in the Jo'burg area.

There's a 10k race for kids and beginners, a slightly more difficult 20k route which is a good season-starter for most, and then the big 45k race for us people who didn't really understand how difficult that would be. It was an awesome race through and very worthwhile.

The cloudy weather was awesome to ride in but didn't really leave us with any awe-inspiring footage from our helmet cam. We'll post up some videos of the big downhills soon, but for now here's a pic of us exhausted at the end :)
