    Thanks Craig for sharing your behind-the-scenes moments capturing the 75km runners on Saturday. As you mentioned, braving the cold and rain really takes a passion for what you do! It reminded me of filming the front runners on the Maxi 75k on Perdekop Mont Rochelle in 2021 under similar conditions. Start watching at 1min12s to see what I mean ua-cam.com/video/qS4HDZJSDKw/v-deo.htmlsi=lryrx-EymGDC-rXw&t=72

    I really don’t understand the mentality of those riders who litter. One would think that MTB riders would be extra careful and grateful for the opportunity and privilege to ride these remote trails but it seems that some don’t give a shit.

    I'll never do another Cape Epic but I would suggest shoes that you can hike-a-bike in comfortably for the tougher days. I got passed by several people charging up Fanti's Pass in what I would consider "non-racing" shoes. The A-frame training is spot on. There were way too many riders that walked the switchbacks and then blocked everyone else while they remounted right at the top and in the way.

  • @allantimm2003
    @allantimm2003 Місяць тому

    Good advice - I would add.... use two different brands as the pressure points on your rear end are slightly different and will help avoid visiting the bum clinic; on hydration... it is usually pretty hot, so a USWE or equivalent is vital and makes drinking on steep climbs or descents much easier...I usually wear an USWE and carry an empty bottle, with my choice of hydration powder, on my bike which I fill up at the last water point. Steep technical riding and riding switchbacks during training will go a long way to making your Epic journey a happier one !!

    When shooting 4k 120 FPS video did you get hot card and hit camera warnings? I recently started dipping my toe into videography specifically sports shooting 4k 120FPS and get those warnings regularly. I switched to a Delkin black card and the warnings still happen just not as quick.

    Hi, I’m shooting with Fujifilm gfx100s but it’s not good for all types of photography which I like (Portrait, Landscape, Still-life). It’s heavy and bulky with gf lenses to carry around, and slow for sports and wildlife if sometimes I like to experience it! But it seems Z8 is all in one camera. The only matter important to me is if I switch to Z8, with 14bit and 45mp, could I achieve the high images quality same as 16bit and 102mp on gfx100s? Please advise.

    Thanks for the review. I'm trying to make up my own mind about wall storage for a MTB. Seems like they're all the same price for Steadyrack so will probably just go via Takealot. I know you didn't ask, but you probably just needed an SSD drill to get into that hard part of the wall - unless there was rebar there. Doesn't matter, but just thought I'd mention. 🙂
