Extreme skateboarding, car spinning and hair raising balancing acts
Do you remember the time when a Cape Town skateboarder set off a speeding camera on Kloof Nek road? Or, the dare-devil base-jumper who miss-judged his flight down Table Mountain? We do, and it was awesome.
Just because we’re in lockdown, doesn't mean we can't bask in the zaniest Cape Town memories.
TOO FAST FOR CAPE TOWN’S TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT
On 20 January 2013 South African skateboarder Decio Lourenco flew down Kloof Nek Road. Not only did he dodge the oncoming traffic but he managed to set off a 60km/h speeding camera on his way down.
PREPARE TO FEEL CAR SICK
Kaylin 'Kayla' Oliphant is one of South Africa's top female car spinners. Her top stunt of tightly weaving in and around barrels and hanging upside-down out the driver's window is an epic sight that makes the crowds go wild.
WHO’S FASTER, A CYCLIST OR AN OSTRICH?
When cycling through the Cape of Good Hope a group of cyclists never would have thought their biggest competition would be a giant male ostrich.
A BALANCING ACT 1000M ABOVE CAPE TOWN
A lot of Capetonians will go to great lengths to get a good view of the sunrise. However, professional slackliner, Lukas Irmler, has put us all to shame. In June 2011 Lukas walked across a 23m slackline in Table Mountain, at the perfect time to catch the sunrise.
EXTREME ATHLETE JEB CORLISS’S HIT AND MISS MOMENT
Extreme athlete Jeb Corliss made headlines around the world when he missed coordinated his jump from the top of Table Mountain in 2012. Luckily for Jeb, he had a full recovery and took on Table Mountain again in 2019.
CHASING THE SUN
Watch as a longboarder and a rollerblader glide down a public road in Cape Town just at the right time to catch the sunrise.
