Crop Dusting with DC Rally Driver, Jon Williams


Dc Shoes phoned me up and asked if I would be keen to go and shoot with their local Rally Driver, Jon Williams. Yes, came out my mouth pretty quickly. So with the RED Camera crew of Heart Media along for the ride, Black Media went and spent a day in the Cape Fields (Canola Fields) with the Sasol Rally team. This is shot on 2 cameras, all the slow motion stuff being on the RED Camera. Couple of GoPros and voila a quick, high speed jaunt with Jon for your viewing pleasure.

PS: Note how close I got to a Rally Car doing over 100km per hour on the one bend. My Sphincter closed for hours!

Jordy Smith - The world's best surfer, with the worst luck?


As South African surf fans, we all slumped our shoulders and sighed with dissapointment when Jordy Smith got knocked out in the second round at the Rip Curl Pro Portugal. We all believe in our wonder kid and we desperately need him to win a World Title. So what is going on with the prodigy? No one denies that Jordy is one of the most talented surfers of all time. He brings more raw power to pro surfing than the rest of the field on tour and commentators, industry pundits and the fans all agree he absolutely rips. So where has this season gone wrong for him? Is he just absolutely unlucky and in need of a Sangoma to rustle up some good fortune magic on his behalf, or are the judges to blame as many online peers would have us believe. My thinking steers me to the former. Sometimes the dice just don't roll for you and in Jordy's case, they aint even leaving his hand. There is only one thing for him to do, keep at it! So don't stop supporting our number 1 just yet South Africa, Lady luck is fickle, but she can change fortune in the blink of an eye. Now watch this video of the main man free surfing in Portugal and have your faith restored! (Good film work Laces!)

John John Florence is the Electric Candyman

John John slaying giant Cloudbreak. (Photo: Transworld)
Big, small or just plain ludicrous, John John Florence has got all the bases covered. He charges massive tubes, throws the biggest and most progressive airs and is one really nice guy to boot. Make sure you watch till the end for the most crazy angle of this giant tube in Fiji. The footage is all from the Vans Movie, Get-in-Classic Vol 2...
