Western Cape Wildogs ride to the EC Bash 2011

Action Cameras has worked closely with the members of the Wild Dogs dual sport riders for the past 18th months and is glad to be associated to them as an official WD Vendor. While we try to get out to as many of the Wild Dog events as possible to show off our awesome helmet cameras, we couldn't make it to the Eastern Cape Bash this year. We do however appreciate that a ton of the rider were sporting their helmet mounted cameras supplied by Action Cameras.

Check out this awesome compilation of head camera shots taken in the Time Lapse mode from the Drift cameras. Special thanks to Wayne H for putting this together!

Dome 2 Dome Road Race

The Action Cameras Team was at it again this past weekend by taking on the first road cycle race of the season, the Dome 2 Dome cycle challenge. Although there was a 98km route, we opted to take on the 48k race just to ease into the season.

Here are some awesome in action shots before the race....

And after the race ....

Shot with the Drift HD camera on the timelapse photo mode. Using your helmet cam in this mode means you can take photos continuously as you ride in intervals of 2, 3, 5, 10 or 30 seconds. At the end you'll end up with a load of rubbish shots but you're guaranteed to have a few pearlers in there!

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 :)
