Thought I'll start this thread for the South African Slopers especially the local PE okes

Anything goes in here that's not tooo relevant for the other threads.

So if you wanna talk Golden City catering or specials it goes here...

If you wanna talk about Sean's new hobby of scrap-booking it goes here..

If you are thinking of locking Sean in the porta-loo like at Hermanus 2006 it goes here....

If you wanna talk about Darren's new pink plane it goes in the Zally thread!

anyway.... here are some of my favorite video's:

Bangarang was shot in Hermanus South Africa. It was the first time we mounted a GoPro on the nose of a Mig7 (Thanks Sean) and this is the result.

Bangaram Hermanus 2012 (4 min 0 sec)

I think Bangarang was the "fire starter" and changed the way I made video's.

Here is a short video where I tried to capture everything that happened in 2012 on the slope and I can tell you one thing, if it wasn't for my sloping friends especially Sean... there would be no cool video's. I make the video's to make the special moments last longer.

My 2012 Sloping highlights! (3 min 27 sec)

Maitlands, Port Elizabeth is my home slope and I think this video best describes what it's like to fly at Maitlands and the emotion and gees on the slope.

The Maitland's Feeling (3 min 45 sec)

Here is a video of a recent (Feb 2013) roadtrip to Cape Town, Hermanus with my buddy Jim.

Rules:
1. When traveling to the Hermanus sloping event all Slope-Rebels will slope on the way up and down.
2. You have to contribute to the "Close Shaves" thread at least twice a year!

OK batteries are on charge and I'm playing some flight sim to sharpen-up for tomorrow flying... whooo hooo

Just watched the Hermanus 2006, 2007 and 2008 DVD so I'm ready!!!

All I need to do now is fall asleep so that time can pass quick quick!

Golden City? Have you been re-branded? When I lived in SA it was the Windy City....

Golden City is our Slope hang-out in the windy city of PE aka Nelson Mandela Bay.

On any given day you will find Sean there building something or passing time exploring the endless limits of scrap-booking.

Johan is the product developer / architect and is constantly supply Sean with cutting edge slopers which Sean then does something with.

I'm just there... call it PR and marketing.

There are many other characters but they will introduce themself during the next week or so depending which wind is blowing.

Some of these guys just don't get it!!!
Why on earth would we want to be known as the "Golden City Fliers" ????

We have already lost all credibility....

Weather for tomorrow:

Pasty, this country is not for sissies!!

I know that from experience! in the few days I've spent in SA I had close shaves with hippos, rhino's and bledy monkeys! The monkeys being the worst, little beggers would go for anything... cute my ass, get the gun dear!

Had an awesome time flying today... Got some serious suntan on the slope!! The wife recons I look like a racoon with my sunglasses tan.... But I know I look like kung-fu panda!!!
