My name is André and under the name 'MTB Challenge' I create mountain bike content.
In Nederland heb ik mezelf de uitdaging gegeven om alle officiële mountainbikeroutes te rijden en te filmen. Daarnaast ben ik regelmatig in het buitenland te vinden om te ontdekken wat voor mooie plekken er zijn om te mountainbiken en dit deel ik via mijn social media.
That's how I ended up at South Africa MTB Experience. Together with the crew, I captured my entire experience on film in the Dutch autumn of 2024 (South African spring) and it was an unforgettable journey! Check out my YouTube channel here
The main question in the videos is: 'Why would you go all the way to South Africa to go mountain biking?'
And although I recommend you to watch the videos for an impression, I can already tell you that it is more than a mountain bike trip. You are really in another world, where it smells different, where the colors are brighter and the vegetation more diverse. In addition, there is also sufficient attention for culture and culinary highlights.
And the mountain biking… Every day is different and the variety of trails is great, from cross-country to rough enduro trails! The total package is great and you just have to experience it once! That's why I decided to go again with MTB-Challenge! Are you interested and do you want to come along? Send me a message and we'll be in touch.
