SHARE THE STOKE THIS XMAS
This December the Journey Through South Africa Tour will be going through Cape Town, Durban and Joburg distributing new and used skate stuff to kids who can’t afford their own. The tour features German skateboarders Louis Taubert and Niklas Speer von Cappein as well as local ripper Justus Kotze.
“Louis Taubert is undoubtedly one of the best skaters in Germany this year and could win almost every contest in which he participated. And he has carved out on the thick banger bus tour and was generally represented with the best footage ever. In the next time it could be somewhat quiet at Louis, as he sets out to explore South Africa for six months. But of course he does not disappear without saying goodbye to yet befitting. Here is his farewell clip from Cologne Cape is 686 plus a few words to his adopted country.” The google-translated version of Louis’ farewell the blurb from skateboard magazine. In January we will be running a full Tour Diary right here on www.revolution-daily.com where you can see who got what and how the goodness was shared across South Africa. They’ll be hitting up skateparks in each town and need your help to share the stoke and get a ton of kids skating. Revolution has setup drop-off depots at all the stores around the country and are taking in boards, trucks, wheels, shoes… whatever you’ve got to give. Revolution Long Street, Cape Town

OVERBERG ADVENTURE WRAP-UP
We are wrapping up the Overberg Adventure today with round up of the 4 days spent on the road.
Day 1 saw the dudes hitting Caledon…
…finding some rad spots and making some interesting friends at the bar.
After a bit of hairy start to Day 2 in the Botanical gardens…
…it was on to Bredasdorp, where some hammers where thrown, lines filmed and spots discovered
Day 3 saw things heating up…
…especially in this very nice looking ditch that presented itself to the crew.
On the fourth and final day, the boys headed back to Cape Town, stopping off in Caledon again…
There is so much more to find out there than what we have seen in the Magazines and Videos over the past years.
…to finish off some business before getting back to the City.
A big shout out again to KFD Skateboards and Red Bull for making this trip happen.
Look out for the footage from the trip in the upcoming Session and AV DVD’s.
OVERBERG ADVENTURE DAY 4
With the help of Red Bull and KFD Skateboards, Justus Kotze, Moses Adams, Jamie O’Brien and myself (Sam Clark) decided to head out in search of new spots in undocumented towns with the purpose of getting footage for Justus’ Close Up article in AV13 and Mosey’s section in the upcoming Session dvd.
Day Four saw us packing up camp and heading home to Cape Town
but not without another few hours in Caledon to take care of some un-finished business and some more spot searching.
We would like to thank Redbull and KFD again for supporting us on this mission
and urge companies in South Africa to get behind their riders and help them do similar missions to smaller towns around South Africa.
There is so much more to find out there than what we have seen in the Magazines and Videos over the past years.
Keep Rolling!
OVERBERG ADVENTURE DAY 3
With the help of Red Bull and KFD Skateboards, Justus Kotze, Moses Adams, Jamie O’Brien and myself (Sam Clark) decided to head out in search of new spots in undocumented towns with the purpose of getting footage for Justus’ Close Up article in AV13 and Mosey’s section in the upcoming Session dvd.
Day two’s burnt knees got the better of Jamie and Justus.
They decided to cream themselves before heading out for Swellendam.
Enroute we found a pretty gnarly ditch where we spent a couple of hours battling the heat and getting a few clips.
Once we reached Swellendam the rest of the day was spent cooling off by a dam waiting for the temperature to drop.
We decided it would be a much better idea to hit the spots at night when it would be far cooler.
Check back tomorrow for Day 4 of the Overberg Adventure.
If you missed day one you can check it out here and day two over here.
OVERBERG ADVENTURE: DAY 2
With the help of Red Bull and KFD Skateboards, Justus Kotze, Moses Adams, Jamie O’Brien and myself (Sam Clark) decided to head out in search of new spots in undocumented towns with the purpose of getting footage for Justus’ Close Up article in AV13 and Mosey’s section in the upcoming Session dvd.
After waking up a little dazed and confused we quickly packed our tent to escape before the botanical gardens opened at 9.
The next town on the map was Napier.
The big rails at the church had little to offer with a pretty crusty landing which seemed to be a bit much for the first spot of the day.
So we proceeded onto Bredasdorp were it was 40 degrees, perfect skating temperature.
Again we found some really good spots and were taken to the towns skatepark by the local rad mom and her stoked kid.
After a good line filming session back in town it was time to head off to the beaches of Arniston where we did some whale watching and found the local shabeen in the fishing village and settled in for the night.
Next stop Swellendam!
If you missed part one you can check it out over here. Part three coming in the morning!
OVERBERG ADVENTURE: DAY 1
With the help of Red Bull and KFD Skateboards, Justus Kotze, Moses Adams, Jamie O’Brien and myself (Sam Clark) decided to head out in search of new spots in undocumented towns with the purpose of getting footage for Justus’ Close Up article in AV13 and Mosey’s section in the upcoming Session dvd.
We left Cape Town for our first over night destination, Caledon.
To our surprise the spots were really good and we were off to a productive start to the mission.
Having no place lined up to sleep we jumped the wall of the Botanical gardens and set up camp.
After battling with the wind to set up we head out for a night session to hit spots that we thought would be a bust during the day.
One of them being a church handrail which was across the road from JJ’s Pub.
The locals loved what they saw and rewarded us with large quantities of vodka and Jägermeister.
We left the bar in a civilized manner only to find the shots kicking in once we reached the tent and everyone went full retard.
Memory seems to fail me for the rest of the evening.
Thanks to Jamie having a camera near by we were able to put the pieces of the puzzle back together in the morning.
Be sure to check back in tomorrow for part two of the Overberg Adventure.
