Show 14 was a petrol head vibe with a touch of dirty surfer! Guests were Lance Isaacs, SA Superbike Champion, Anthony Raynard, SA MX Star and Wok, SA's most controversial surf blogger. We chatted about the Cape Town Bike Festival, with Supercross and Masters of Dirt in the Cape Town Stadium. Also headline artists Seether and Haddaway - Wok seemed pretty amped on the "What is Love" Icon! I talked about the crazy Volcom Party with Goldfish over the weekend in Durban - see my previous blog.
This just blows my mind! What the hell are these guys thinking? Just watch the video and you will know what i am talking about. Hells, I got to get to this one day!
The Official Review of the 2011 Isle of Man will be packed with jaw-dropping action from around the legendary 37.73-mile road course, plus all the usual interviews, behind-the-scenes access and bonus features.
The 2011 TT promises to be one of the most competitive ever, with top riders and leading teams lining up to take on the challenge.
The great John McGuinness also returns and will be looking to get back on the top step of the podium after last year's disappointment, adding yet more victories to his 15-win tally.
Former TAS Suzuki teammates Bruce Anstey and Cameron Donald, both TT winners, have new challenges for 2011 -- Anstey is with Padgetts and Donald has moved to with Wilson Craig.
Back in the TAS squad, Guy Martin is the new recruit -- he'll be looking to put the 170mph crash of last year behind him and finally land that elusive first TT win.
Plus, Keith Amor, Michael and William Dunlop, Ryan Farquhar and Michael Rutter will be among the stars hoping to battle for victories in 2011.
There's also a wealth of talented newcomers due to line up for the 2011 TT, including short circuit ace Simon Andrews.
The three-wheel racing will also be scintillating, with Austrian Klaus Klaffenbock back with Dan Sayle and determined to defend the double sidecar TT wins he scored last year.
Stunning trackside and aerial camera work will be skilfully combined with the very best on-board footage to give you the ultimate view of the TT course and let you share every moment of excitement from every race.
The Official Review will also include interviews with the stars, plenty of bonus material and a look at some of the off-track excitement. There'll also be plenty of coverage of the star-studded events organised to mark the 100th anniversary of racing on the Mountain course and Yamaha's 50th anniversary.

I attended the launch of this amazing event and was not let down. This December the Cape Town Stadium is going to rock out for 3 days with Masters of Dirt, Supercross, Miss Biker SA, Lifestyle and tattoo expos, AMD Custom Bike Build and even more impressive, three international bands. Rumours doing the rounds at the launch event were that SA rockers, Seether, are looking good to be the first confirmed band.
I am on the Festival as the social media person and will be keeping you guys up to date with this amazing Festival as news comes in! FYI I am pretty sure I saw Lance, Nick and Brian drinking pink drinks...

In the meantime check out the launch below...
Cape Town Stadium will be getting tons of dirt put in!
To say I am excited about the Cape Town Bike Festival (CTBF) might just be the understatement of the year! Outside of the odd game of football and shows from the likes of U2, the stadium has not had much on, as far as world class events go, since the 2010 World Cup. That all changes this year as the CTBF rolls into the stadium over three days in December. What will we be seeing at the launch this evening in Cape Town? So far we have been told that the Festival will have a Lifestyle Expo for those that love the biking lifestyle, Miss Bike SA (Hot ladies and Bikes, sounds good), Supercross and Junior MX racing (Something not seen in SA stadiums for many years), a Tattoo Expo and art exhibition, AMD Custom Bike Build competition, the incredible Masters of Dirt FMX show every night and to round things off an incredible three international bands - 1 for each night. Shew, I just had to take a breath and calm myself down there...
Masters of Dirt is the world's biggest and best FMX show. I have wanted to see one of these for a very long time and the fact that I can see it every night for the length of the CTBF is bloody exciting. Some of the world's best FMX, Quad and Mini-Bike hell men will be on display, as well as our very own "Sick" Nick de Wit. Let's not forget the fiery and very hot "Fuel Girls" who are a big part of the show. Got to admit to being equally excited to hang with the girls backstage at the show, hehe.
Though the CTBF have not released the names of the Bands yet for the three nights at the Festival, I am told that with my help, CTBF will be asking you the fans for your opinions on this integral part of the entertainment showpiece. So, once I know the options, you will know and you can vote for your choices for the three nights. One band that has already been closely linked to the CTBF are our locally born superstars, Seether. One can only hope it is true!
So, much excitement and I will have more information tomorrow once I have attended the launch event tonight and found out more. This looks to be one of the biggest events Cape Town has ever seen and I will be along with you in tow for the entire ride! In the meantime, why not make some suggestions for bands you would like to see in the comments section! Right, time to get ready for the launch and a couple of cold ones with the crew.
