With the sudden and devastating loss of Sean Russell, we have had numerous calls and emails from concerned Slingers as to who will now be managing the AMO and who will be able to answer any technical queries they may have. While Sean has left a huge hole in all of our hearts and his shoes are impossible to fill, we would like to welcome back Daniel Nielsen as our new AMO Manager who will be joined by his wife, Jamie-Lee Nielsen, as our AMO Administration Manager.
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?
