“Na n epiese tog van 8,902 seemyl het die vlieeniers wat vroeer vandeesmaand in Suid-Afrika met drie plaaslik geboude Sling High Wing-vliegtuie na Oshkosh vertrek het, vandeesweek in Wisconsin in die VSA aangekom. Die drie Vlieeniers en hul bemanningslede het op 17 Julie by Lanseria opgestyg en daarna in verskillende bene na Luanda in Angola, daarna na Accra in Ghana en toe na Praia in Kaap Verde gevlieg. Van daar af het n reuseskof van 14 uur oor die Atlantiese Oseaan na Barbados gevolg.”

It’s go‑time! Load up your gear, strap on your gravel shoes, and aim for the wide‑open Karoo horizon. The Tanqua Kuru is calling, and we’re answering with throttles, pedals, and hearts wide open. At least four Sling aircraft and our solid team of riders will make the pilgrimage to Tankwa Tented Camp for what’s become an annual tradition of grit, gravel, and greatness.
There’s still one title former Springbok Bob Skinstad hasn’t claimed… This isn’t a stadium victory. No crowds, no ceremony, no easy applause. This one is fought for. Across endless gravel, through the dust, under the relentless Tankwa sun. And he’s chasing it down on a Sling Cycles Tagati. So, the question is — when he rolls up to the start line… will you be there with him?
