Adventures with Gravity

Looking up at 'Judgement Day'


So many stories, and not enough megabytes on the server to house them all. Well we could discuss the week-end at the Palmiet Gravity Festival.
How about the most amazing campsite on our doorstep, perfectly juxtaposed between a beach and a lagoon?
How about the series final Quantum Adventure race, where Team Lost Yachties finished in the points, rearrangeing 30% of the fynbos in the Kogelberg Biosphere in the process.
There's plenty to share from the grade 3 rapids on the croc section of the Palmiet.
The top 10 finish in the MTB race sounds like a good story too, especially since it went through pristine tracks in the reserve, normally closed to public.
The high speed crash down a rocky road with some unbelievable result like 'not a scratch'?
or how about the podium finish in the K1 lagoon sprint (glory so early in a promising paddle career)?
Being a Lipton Partner site, we'd love to tell you about the intense L26 WP champs too.

Ah weeerh, bruthas

All worthy of their piece in cyberspace, but nothing like our headline feature. Being an adventure festival, Gravity pulled through with some local entertainment for the saturday night - Tribal Echo, a trio of your average Overstrand gangsters. These bruthas have put their perlemoen smokkelaar boeties to shame and picked up mikes instead. Let's not stereotype and say that 2Pac is the hero, maybe its Eminem or even the Doggfather, Brasse Vanne Kaap clearly in the cd colleksin. Throw them in a tent full of drunk kayakers, rafting guides et al and you need the beat to do it's work to keep it all tidy. How they hook up with some hip-hop non god from Sweden is a very loaded question, what the hell he was doing there in the firstplace an even deeper interrogation. We couldn't really get round the overberg taal, so had no chance with the Swedish diatribes, but hey it's the beat and the bounce that really count. The crazy mzungus just wouldn't let them leave, calling for encore after encore. The only question remains:
Voel djay die gravvity?Aha Aha!

Has anyone lost their computer nerd?
