Go-Carting Adrenalin
By Jacques Horn
Wheels squealing and blood rushing through your veins, this is the way a Saturday morning should be spent if you are taking a much deserved break from riding your bicycle. There are only a hand full of adrenaline fueled activities that could rival the feeling of racing at 60 km/ph around a racetrack with your body sitting less than 20cm from the tar. Go-Carting has always been a very fun and extremely exhilarating experience and when combined with the company of your friends this is a not to be missed activity. We headed out to the Zwartkop race track in Pretoria to go and test out their specifically designed Go- Cart racetrack. After a quick briefing by the safety marshals we started mounting our GoPro’s and getting our gear ready. What we discovered is the traditional stick-on GoPro mounts are the perfect solution to any mounting scenario and when placed on your helmet gives the perfect “race feeling” angles that makes for some superb footage. Another great mount is the Sportsman Mount available from Action Gear. This mount provided great versatility and helped us capture great footage. A very important tip to remember though is that the Go-Cart with its very lightweight frame tends to vibrate quite badly and thus “rattles” your footage when the Go-Pro is mounted directly on the Go-Cart. I hope you enjoy my vlog and as always, remember to keep the rubber side down.
