Ever been tempted to give up everything you have to start a new life some place new? That’s what Rob J did in 2002 at the start of a journey that would see him become a professional mountain biker. Here he goes back to his roots to rediscover the country that launched his career: South Africa.

Awesome video! This belongs in the Time to Get the Hell Out of Here thread.
Also, can someone tell me where the trails are from 3:54?
First segment is Conters, 3:20 - 3:55 is G Spot, then up to 4:15 is *I think* The Glen (Top of Kloof Nek going down towards C Bay - Illegal trail); 4:15 - 5:15 is Old Jonkers (DH Line, Canaries, never ending etc) and from then I think it's a mix of Meerendal and G, with a bias towards Meerendal (the view from the top as he's winding down the ST is definitely Meerendal)

Pure gold... that has ruined my work ethic for the day! Time for a quick blast to the mountain.
Also slot that into the SA Trail vs the rest of the world thread. Awesome!
