Namakwaland and Richtersveld Wildride

[Noneking]

No-one in the group has ridden the track to Steinkopf before and as it turns out, it is one of my favourites of the trip. It is a good mix of flowing riding, gnarly rocky climbs and descents, spectacular scenery and even some flowers in spots.

Is dit natuurlik of het iemand lank gelede die klippe so op mekaar gestapel?

Deel bietjie jou track asb? Hierdie lyk vir my na 'n MOET doen trip.

Dankie vir die deel. Awesome soos altyd  :thumleft:

That section was one of the stages on the Amageza but run in reverse.

It’s achingly beautiful and seriously remote.

I love taking pics in general, but especially on bike trips. I like having the visual reminder of what transpired on a trip and often look back on trips gone by and relive them through the images and video footage captured. I also enjoy sharing trips with like minded people, friends and family. I quickly learned that looking of pics of your own bike or POW footage of the road ahead is of very little value or interest to others or myself. 
I try to  ride behind other riders as much as possible to get more captivating video footage and then I often race off into the distance, scan the surroundings for a nice backdrop and then photograph my riding mates coming past. Then a few pics of my own bike. Ride hard to catch up with the rest, take some POW videos riding behind them and repeat the whole cycle again. This doesn't always sit well with other riders and there have been trips where I have been lambasted for not riding with the group or causing too much dust or not "knowing my place  :dousing:" on the ride. Not everyone enjoys having someone ride just off their back wheel as well, it takes a certain amount of trust to know that a rider hotdogging with you knows how to react, will give you space to move across the track and will not ride into the back of you in under braking or acceleration.

This group, on the rides we have done together have been very accommodating and even like to pose for pics  [member=8876]2StrokeDan[/member] specifically has perfected the staring into the distance or pointing at nothing specific pose.... :lol8:

Fantastic Noneking! As already mentioned, these pictures and ride reports have many yearning... :drif:

I've tried capturing a trip like this, but soon found out that it's extremely hard work and quite tiring to stop every now and then to take proper pictures and as you mentioned, the photographer needs to be everywhere at the same time.

Luckily I have a riding buddy, named [member=4774]Nimmo[/member]. He's also mastered the art of capturing a trip, in detail, and it's always a huge privilege to be able to relive a nice trip through his pictures, afterwards.
