This is a massive project - to get 2hrs of edited footage of this quality is remarkable

The algorithm found this video for me and so glad it did. Awesome film showcasing an event I knew nothing about. Fantastic stuff. Liked and subscribed.

[@WoutervandenHeever]

You captured the heart of this race so well Wouter. 👌🏻

[@WoutervandenHeever]

Thank you DuToit. I absolutely loved filming it. My passion lies in crafting memories for others.

[@deonpetersenportfolio8701]

This is great! good to see the actually trails that they don't show on TV. They should televise the amateur riders as well

[@senditmtb22557]

Thank you for an epic video on an Epic race! Your focus on ordinary riders and the behind the scenes footage was so good. This video needs more exposure for sure.

[@WoutervandenHeever]

Thank you for your feedback LDWR. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the focus on the amateur riders. If you know others who’d be interested, feel free to share-I’d love for more people to experience these moments from the race

[@greghudct]

Thank you very much for a fantastic presentation. I no longer need to ride the Epic you have shown it all.

[@WoutervandenHeever]

Thank you so much, Greg! I feel honored. The Cape Epic is truly something special, and I'm glad I could bring the experience to life for you

[@contactdavidfair]

Great vid, so much more interesting to see the amateur side of the race experience

[@scottwick7720]

Best stories are at the back! 🙌🏼

[@srussellwhite]

Fantastic Wouter. Proud of your work old friend!!

[@MP48]

great movie Wouter, harks back to the product the Epic released after the first 5 Cape Epics. Thank you for these insights

[@davidmaco1]

Amazing !! thank you so much for making and sharing this truly awesome content !!

[@richardmcmartin7817]

So many emotions and memories! Well done for capturing this, Wouter. Good of you to share these stories from the riders at the back. Rich...one of the Hyenas.

[@WoutervandenHeever]

Thank you Richard. Appreciate your feedback. It was inspiring to witness you and Matthew in action at the back of the pack. Stage 4 stands out as a prime example, particularly at the foot of the Cliff Hanger, where the challenge seemed too much in the heat of the day. Your encouragement made all the difference, motivating them to push through. The value that you and Matthew, as the 'Hyenas,' bring to the backmarkers is undeniable.

[@FrancoisCLoedolff]

Absolutely fantastic. Well edited video and so nice that the story of the non-elite are also told. Hope this happens more often with other sport as well. Well done Wouter. Wouter.

[@WoutervandenHeever]

Thank you Francois for your appreciation for the film. The pro riders give this event the prestige it deserves. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to share the stories of some of the amateur riders who are equally integral to the event's spirit

[@nigellaver1]

Thanks for the chat Wouter!

[@jeremymcbride8729]

Thank you for this very inspirational work Wouter. I watched every stage of the Epic here in Australia from the comfort of my lounge chair. The heart and soul of an event like the Cape Epic is the amateur riders, volunteers and everyone behind the scenes. I could only dream of entering this event. I love mountain biking and ride my bike as often as I can. Thank you for this fantastic work. You should be proud of this mate.

[@WoutervandenHeever]

Thank you Jeremy for your kind words, especially as a fellow mountain biking enthusiast. Would love to see and meet more Australian amateur riders at the Cape Epic in future years. This year there were 9 riders from Australia

[@louisstemmet7780]

Lekker Wouter!
