Over the winter, Fluidride/Virtual Descent riders Sven and Anka Martin traveled to their homeland of South Africa. In addition Anka racing the Cape Epic, the two took some time to go out on a mountain bike safari, and to visit with family and friends. While there, Sven got the brothers Neethling (Andrew and Jonty) to take a few runs on the local trails with our camera gear. Check out the trails and listen to some friendly brotherly banter as the two rip some local spots. There are a few videos, so be sure to check them all out. Thanks go out to Sven, Andrew and Jonty. Nice riding guys!

If the Bridal trail is used, bring your 6″ trail bikes as this more Super-D trail than DH. Continue reading ‘Fluidride Cup updates’
