Heli Mountain Biking in the Drakensberg, South Africa.
Why should skiers be the only ones to benefit from the tremendous advantage that a helicopter brings to downhill sports? The towering Central Drakensberg in Kwa-Zulu Natal, a UNESCO world heritage site, is now home to heli mountain biking.
The buzz starts building the minute you take off. Up, up you go into the world of clouds, cliffs, and eagles, knowing all the time that you are going to have to descend all this unfolding terrain. Anticipation builds. At around 2000-meters, in thinning air, you wave the helicopter goodbye, and standing alone with your guide and buddies in the middle of this vast rugged landscape, there’s only one way to go down! And it's 4 to 5- hours of fast flowing single track, rock gardens, ridge paths- every drop and turn revealing more first-class mountain biking.
