After a few solid days skating around the beautiful beaches and cliffs of Cape Town, we needed to head inland and upward to our next destination in Maseru, Lesotho. Lesotho is a landlocked country completely surrounded by South Africa on all sides.
Sebo Walker, Thaynan Costa, Walker Ryan, Jamie Tancowny, filmer Patrik Wallner and myself soon found ourselves sat in a hotel lobby in Maseru contemplating our next move, when the guy at the front desk asked if we were with the skate group that gets together every Sunday, called SKATECYC. Sensing our total confusion, he pointed us to a corner where the locals had set up a series of ramps and rails and we joined the crew for a session.
Lesotho has one of the smallest road networks in the world so we chose Maseru in hopes that it would bring the most infrastructure for skating.
The capital of Lesotho, Maseru is a bustling city full of energy and, surprisingly, some spots as well. Sadly we were only there for a few days as we had to get down from one mountain and up another one, this time in Namibia.
Swing by next Monday for part three of Under the African Capricorn as we head deep into the heart of Namibia to skate an incredible monument and manage to find a random half pipe in the middle of a desert!
In case you missed the opener from Cape Town, watch it right here:
