Tumbleweed Posted August 15, 2013 Share http://mpora.com/videos/lU9VQTu9e When we arrived in Somerset west to film "Needles" section it was clear it wasn't going to be a normal weeks filming for a number of reasons. First, we had to put up with a full week of Sven Martin in full panic mode every time a potential photographic moment was missed. Which resulted in us getting out of bed at 5.30am everyday for the epic morning light. Second, Andrew has the best trails and jumps literally in his own own back yard. The area overlooks both the Indian and Atlantic Ocean and is one of the most amazing places I have ever filmed. Getting a chance to hang out with Andrew in his hometown for the filming of his section was one the most memorable experiences of my life. Check out the the behind-the-scenes video of Andrew Neethling's section. Edited August 15, 2013 by Tumbleweed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted August 15, 2013 Share Could be around (@2:18 and 2:30 mark it looks to be) the Signal hill and then the lower section just above the Bo-Kaap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted August 15, 2013 Share It looks like an area in Somerset West, where they built ramps and have been riding for years. Some of it looks like the ramp section on the corner of R44 and Irene Rd Somerset west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
