Riding the Spruit in Jo'burg

The Spruit is an amazingly unknown stretch of pure awesomeness running like a vain through Johannesburg. It's a city slicker and weekend warrior paradise for mountainbiking. Running from Emmerentia, through Greenside, Delta Park and Bryanston and heading even further out, its been said you can ride for more then 60kms along this epic trail - right in the heart of jozi. Awesome.

We had to try this out for ourselves and obviously took our helmet cameras along for the ride. Below are a few stills shot on the Drift HD, videos are coming soon. Some of the team are trying to bribe us to not upload the videos online as they had somewhat of a tricky time in the technical sections around Emmerentia :) Watch this space....

Cape Epic Crash from a GoPro

Last years Cape Epic race saw loads more helmet cameras then the years before - which is excellent for the rest of us as we get to relive some of the action afterwards without having to slog the entire race! Here's an excellent GoPro HD video captured on a massive downhill - lookout for the wipeout!!

Mountainbiking with the Drift HD at the MTN Bike Park in Bryanston

The Drift HD had some great testing at the MTN Bike Park in Bryanston this weekend as we hit the track first thing on Sunday morning. As the MTB trail had more and more riders into the day we had more and more bikers asking us about the Drift HD helmet camera as they were all super keen to check out the video quality and to see the trails we had been riding. 

Even though we don't ride as hard as some of the guys hitting single track at speed, we still managed to get some awesome shots from the Drift HD mounted on our helmets.
