Ike, what promise this guy has! Living out on a farm in Vuurberg, an hour out of Cape Town, he has a playground any 12 year old shredder could only dream of. Over the last couple of years, local building OG Bennet Nel has been carving lines into their local hill with features that progress with Ike’s riding. 2016 was a successful year for Ike, he travelled to Europe to compete in the U13 World Cup, where he grabbed the top step! Ike’s style reminds me of some of the top World Cup guys and girls, he has incredible bike control but doesn’t mind hanging it out!
This off season Ike has been training with World Cup shredder and all round good guy Johann Potgieter. Ike showing me some of his new skills, ‘smashing berms’.
Ike would like to thank his sponsors Santa Cruz, Leatt, BOS Sport and DVO Suspension for their support in his career thus far. I can’t wait to see what this guy has to show us next season, keep doing your thing dude!
