Redbull Kenya will be hosting a South African Athlete called Brian Capper from 10th Nov – 13th Nov 2014.
Brain Capper started riding MX at the age of 9, started trial biking at 11, and won his first National title at 18. He then spent a year in America competing in their National Championships, finishing 7th overall. In 2002, he competed in the National Offroad Championship, and finally achieved his dream of winning the Roof of Africa.
In 2011, Brian Capper decided that he had tried all the obstacles he could do on the ground, so he decided to take up a challenge in the air. The Moses Mabhida stadium in Durban has an arch over the field that is 350m wide and 105m high (that’s a long way down). Brian’s goal: To bike up the 550 steps to the top and back down the 500 steps on the other side. Keeping momentum and balance on the way up and being careful not to cause the brakes to overheat on the way down, Brian accomplished this insane feat in style – being the first one in history to do so.
A ten times Champion in the disciplines of Supermoto and Trials, Brian competes in selected Enduro and EnduroX races both locally and internationally, and spends his “down-time” entertaining crowds with his gravity defying Xtreme Riding Xhibitions. “I have the best job in the world” says Brian.
