Wake x2 - Meet 2 of SA's finest!

I have spent time with both these guys and they are constantly smiling, happy and stoked to be riding! Meet two of South Africa's premier wakeboarders and wakeskaters, Dylan James Mitchell and Dale Nieuwstad. Filmed around South Africa with their Spanish friend in tow, this gives a good vision of who they are, where they come from and how they ride!

Kilian Martin - Internal Departure

When does an act become art? This question is raised every time I see Kilian Martin skate. The guy has taken skateboarding into the land of the surrealist with incredible feats of trickery blended with both great film work and audio accompaniment. Just sit back and allow the vision to take hold...

Wakeskate Surrealism @ 240fps

I am often asked about Wakeskating and what it is. The answer is simple. Take skateboarding to the water, being towed bu boat, ski or cable and do your best flip and wake tricks. Still confused? Then watch this surreal little video in slow motion and see for yourself!

If you thought the weekend in Cape Town was mental with Ultimate X, Rolling Retro, 40 Degree weather and more hot gals than any town has a right to, then this week's Podcast will blow your mind! First up we had paraplegic surfer, Dries Millard, in to chat about participating in the Rolling Retro surf day and how he is changing the face of paraplegic action sports and inspiring others to challenge themselves.
Then we had Jarret Johnson with all the Bodyboarding news both locally and abroad. He also gave us his predictions for the ongoing Pipeline Challenge, which has no less than 7 Saffa's charging the event.
Greg Illingworth and Markus Museler gave us the lowdown on Ultimate X, as well as some hard discussions about the state of action sports, athletes and sponsors in SA and the real need for a proper park in Cape Town.
Lastly, Tarryn Chudleigh, Ilan Sheer and Zac Wrankmore joined me to chat Rolling Retro and the surf scene at Llanduno Beach.
+Tyrone Bradley gave insight as a sports photographer and of course Chris Cabby Cab was along for the ride and causing mayhem as per usual.

Captain Kai's World Podcast - Wavescape Film Festival & Hot Heels Africa 2012

Busy show this week with December upon us and the storm of events hitting. First up were the Downhill Skaters with Justin and Gabi from SAGRA, to talk about this weekend's, Hot Heels Africa, event. Celebrating 10 years, this is our only World Cup event and will see 4 of the World's best battling for the World Title at the final event of the year. It was great to have international stars, Tamara Prader and Patrick Switzer in studio.

Next up was our man of the surf forecast, Spike, from Wavescape. This week the iconic Wavescape Film Festival begins, with films showing at the Brass Bell, The Labia and of course the viewing on Clifton beach this Saturday evening. Wednesday is the Surfboard Art auction and this is well worth attending.

Next week will be very surf orientated with an ASP Judge, Andy Davis from Mahala and hopefully some skype calls from Cali and Hawaii.

Captain Kai's World on www.2ov.fm Podcast - Surf, Skate and Mountain Bike

The Mo is growing!

After a week off in sympathy to our hangovers from Jordy Smith's "Bending Colors" premier, we came back strong! Warren Talbot from Vans joined me with skater, Wong, to chat about the premier of the awesome new skate doccy, Bones Brigade. After that it was Tyrone Rawlins, Craig Kolesky and Oliver Munnik, pro Mountain Biker and radio virgin, who came to tell us about their fund raising efforts for One Sight, as they prepare for the fright of their lives in the Cape Epic next year. We also chatted Hawaii anf the ASP World Tour as Craig is normally there for the Pipe Masters, but he just got depressed!

Bones Brigade will show in Jozi tomorrow night, Thursday in Durban and in Cape Town on Friday.

Bones Brigade the Autobiography - The start of modern Skateboarding

The most eagerly anticipated doccy since "Dogtown and Z-Boys" is finally here. Made by Stacey Peralta, the same director, the movie spans a decade when a crew of young skaters changed the face of the sport. The movie is available on Itunes and if you are lucky like myself and a few others, you get to watch the SA premier at the Labia this Friday.

When six teenage boys came together as a skateboarding team in the 1980s, they reinvented not only their chosen sport but themselves too - as they evolved from insecure outsiders to the most influential athletes in the field.

The Nitro Circus Crash Montage 2012

We all know the boys from the Nitro Circus play hard. But sometimes they pay the price so high, the rest of us mere mortals just have to cringe. Some of the worst wipes I have ever seen, many by Travis Pastrana, in this short video...

Red Bull Kluge - The Athlete Machine

What happens when the world's best athletes and stunt maniacs are sitting at Red Bull USA Head Office bored? Well, glad you asked, they make the best web video you have seen in months!

Derived from the German adjective Klug (meaning "clever"), Red Bull Kluge combines complex machinery patched together with the energy and prowess of world-class athletes, to see what happens when physics gets physical.

Ryan Decenzo's Skate House - Red Bull Playgrounds

First of all lets be honest, Ryan Decenzo can skate! Second, this is a very cool concept, I mean just imagine having your very own Red Bull Skate House...

Moses Adams slays a Stair Set

We all know that Moses Adams is one of the most talented skaters in South Africa ever. (if you dont, you have been living under a rock possibly.) When Manny Santiago claims the guy, you best believe...

Best Product Video ever... The new GoPro Hero3 Black Edition

I have been patiently waiting to see what the new Gopro was going to be like. The launch video is pretty amazing, as are the functions and stats for the new cameras. You can check those out at GoPro.
In the meantime watch the Hero3 launch video and be amazed... (Oh and I recommend watching in HD and full screen.)

Crazy Hand Stand Downhill Run - Guiness World record Attempt

This guy deserves a medal! Hand standing on flat ground is tricky enough, but on a longboard cruising down an open road, that's balls. He absolutely cleans his knees on the dismount, ouch!

David Gonzalez is Possessed to Skate

This guy is possessed of the power to go large! Some of the rails and launches he tries in this video are simply ridiculous. He also pays the price hard, but always gets up and hits the rail again and again till he nails it. Be inspired today and watch the full movie HERE
