You still got some epic shots out there. I finished the 30k just before it started to come down at like 13:30. Was an awesome day out.

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 ruclips.net/video/qS4HDZJSDKw/видео.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.

Hi Craig, thanks for the valuable advise! Just a question… are the Idas valley trails relatively safe to ride? I couldn’t see if you were out with mates?

Congratulations I am excited for my first try in 2025

Thanks Craig see you in March 🚴‍♂️

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.

Another great video Craig! What do put in your Uswe?( energy or hydration only or combination?).

I want a tip on how to afford Cape Epic 🤣

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 !!

sitting here in Canada and I still recognize Hoogekraal! great spot :D

Trail looks epic, where are you riding?

Lekker. Thanks Craig

Thank you for the tip 👌🏼

Hi Craig, always great vids.....which bike were you riding and what was the suspension travel of the fork?

dayum dude, you crazy lol

Audio!!!!!!

Beautiful tour and views and nice video, regards from Belgium (EU).

Great race review of r2c - see you next year!

Cool vid Craig!

Do you ever use a hydration bladder in this pack?

Always insightful,great footage Craig 💪🏾

Lekker Craig, was an awesome event. Good to see you there. How was that headwind? Friday and Sunday. Wish the viewers could of experienced it and the clay pass going up and down on Sunday

No two bottle cages in 2024????

Hello!!! No issues with 120mm?? You can put the 110 to 120? Or it’s an other fork?? Sorry for my English 😅

great content. what's the green paper on the table and the storage shelf? do you have a link?

I've done 5 skyrun and this was by far the most difficult terrain I experienced 😮 first time ever my feet were buggered

Well I just used mine for the first time and the plug is flimsy it doesn’t stay strong on the bladder it comes apart any suggestions

Hi Craig, love the tips videos that you are providing. What size bladder are you using?

Nice recap 👌

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.

Howzit Craig, once again it was lekker to follow you and Bozz and that mad Impi & Higgs combo. My question - will there ever be a "qualification criteria" for The Epic? There seem to be a lot of okes that pitch and then kak off and withdraw early as they are not conditioned for this type of race. Cheers, Doc

Lake shoes ?

how about the bike weight?

Thank you for the mention bud, it was a pleasure dealing with you 2 Craigs. Thanks for the vibes and the spoils.

Koeberg ? Ah miss it so much .

Great riding with you Craig. Hope to see you again!

Ok, so who ever breaks a seatpost clamp? My partner. On the first uphill of the Prologue... Her AXS post turned into a swivel chair and led to an OTB on the Toyota Tough section. I shall henceforth carry a spare.

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. 🙂

why shorter stem?

Your Garmin mount what is it as it looks like it is just above your stem and not squeezed on with the standard Garmin Quarter turn mount ?

Good but wish it had subtitles.

How the heck can someone enter the epic and not know how to fix a puncture??!!

Way too far back In the field to enjoy the riding. Too many hikers with bikes

Love this and learned SOOOO BAIE. How is the setup with the gopro and where do you mount for this amazing Pov shot on your epic rides? Would love to save memories with amazing shots as you do.

Hi Craig, Can you please tell us where you got the insulation sleave for the uswe. Thank you

Thanks for your valuable input Craig and congrats on finishing another Epic. Hope to be able to do it one day but might have to sell one of my kids!😂 Also thanks for your informative videos. Great to see how a normal guy tackles these events and not the guys doing it super quickly! I just have a question about your Maxxis Rekon Race tyres. How have you found them on our local terrain. Keen to get a pair but wondering if I should be going for the normal Rekons. I do the same type of riding you do. Thanks again.

Thanks, some interesting ideas you've shared.

Is that a custom paint job on the frame
