…good grief, she literally has brought everything! LINDA Sollars is relocating from the East Coast to Los Angeles for some months – to spend time spanner’ing her aircraft in the Sling environment, developing some social media ideas, contributing to the development of the new MOSAIC aircraft certification standards and hanging out with her west coast mates.
I’m joining her from Oshkosh to LA, in her High Wing Sling, to assist her to document her journey on film, to see as much as I can of the USA for myself and to visit the Sling distributorship in Torrance, California. The route is undecided, but I want to see as many of the great en-route geographic and historical sites as possible. What could possibly go wrong?”

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?
