Anyone know what kind of spider this is? Cue Incy Wincy - the mini movie. 🍿 Shot on: Nikon Z9 Nikkor 50 1.8 S & 105 2.8 macro/ftz

With another goat retiring this week I thought it With another goat retiring this week I thought it would be cool to put together some of my favorite shots with the DH Goat @gregminnaar on his home track at the start of the ‘24 season. Fresh on his @norcoracedivision rig to roll into his last season as a WC rider, now you will find him managing an A-class race team with a bit of cheeky modeling on the side for @foxmtb ~ These shots were part of the Swapping Lines series created by @stefangarlicki - where he travels around the world riding different home tracks with some incredible riders. Super stoked to of been part of this one. Check out his YT to see all the episodes in the series. ~ Shoutout to the crew for always “carrying on” @thomassandell_ @rob_hobson_ @waldoridesbikes
TO LET A video postcard • It’s not just a bik TO LET A video postcard • It’s not just a bike shop, it’s an institution, a place where friends gather and bicycles get given a second chance at life. The ethos of repair vs replace is one that is embedded in the framework of the shop. Future projects, parts and everything in-between has its place and what might look like organized chaos to some was in-fact, organized chaos. But Nils knew exactly where everything was and the value that these bits and pieces have, its what made the essence of the place an exciting experience, with every visit there is always something new that you hadn’t seen before. It was like this building grew bicycles. When Nils mentioned to me that @woodstockcycleworks will be moving to a new home and he wanted to remember the Searle st shop as it was in all its glory I was super keen to tell that story. So here it is, my ode to a wonderful bike shop, a visual postcard of the journey to where it is before they move to their new home. Enjoy.

A week in Amsterdam documenting a conference on di A week in Amsterdam documenting a conference on distributed systems. Bicycles and slow shutter speeds had me in my comfortable space. The last image in the carousel is a detector (think crazy camera with multiple processors) that detects the debris from the collision between subatomic particles within the Large Hadron Collider in Cern, Switzerland. The takeaway from this talk was the amount of data that is generated there makes Google, Meta and all the steaming services combined look like a drop in the ocean. I thought video production had me up to my ears in hardrives, these guys are on another level. ~ Look at that, I learned something new on a shoot. ~ Great trip, great city, great people.
In a world where more and more things are being cr In a world where more and more things are being created in a digital space, sometimes by humans, sometimes not, it was really refreshing to document this project for @harlen_design - where things were being made by hand, and not just made, exquisitely crafted by @rawoodcraft . I had a fantastic time learning about the process and seeing the techniques that go into creating world class woodwork. So keep your eyes peeled down under as there are some “lekker “ things coming soon. 🇿🇦🛠️🇦🇺

The moment @mattbeers55 couldn’t believe his eye The moment @mattbeers55 couldn’t believe his eyes! When a flying bearded unicorn in a Tshirt and baggies rolling on titanium closed the gap and crushed his dreams, just like the gravel under its 50c Tyres and 100kg of pure athleticism. “ I cant believe! “ - Matt Beers Jokes aside - best 100m of my career. What an event, the @the_stanford100 made gravel fun again ( for us 50 milers 😜 ) Awesome route, plenty of fast smooth grit and a few spicy sections to make sure we were awake. I loved it Once again wrangling the @sling_cycles Tagati, perfect steed for the job and chugging down some @enduren on the way. I think it’s time to hang up the camera and turn pro 😎 ~ Shoutout to @supermantri & @tessa_kirsten_crowder for the vibes. @maxsulliphoto for the 📸
Enduro Drop ⬇️ What a cool season we had with Enduro Drop ⬇️ What a cool season we had with @wc_enduro , unfortunately Mother Nature decided that @mtotrails_jonkershoek will have to wait till next year. All good things come to those who wait, so here are some highlights from the @contermanskloofmtb race where it was all about Rocks, dust and Beer. Cant wait for 2025 👊🏼
Join me on a trip deep into the spectacular Karoo Join me on a trip deep into the spectacular Karoo & take a look behind the scenes as we test ride and document a few of the stages for the upcoming @gravel_burn 🔥 ~ It’s a privilege to explore parts of the country I haven’t been too , traversing incredible passes, remote valleys and wide open spaces that will take your breath away. An opportunity you wouldn’t want to miss, especially riding on a gravel bike. ~ Pure simplicity at its finest.
