AM VAN Skate Project In Pretoria:
Pretoria – Session Mag teamed up with Monster Energy recently on a unique project called ‘The Am Van’. The concept is simple: invite a bunch of young rippers, put them in a van together and head out to crush skate spots. Add in a couple of seasoned rippers like Monster team riders Khule Ngubane and Dlamini Dlamini, both from Durban, and you’ve got some serious spice to cook something up for the week.
The third Am Van trip went down just as the Covid-19 madness started to grip South Africa. The crew hoped to spend a few days in Pretoria stacking clips before making their way over to Sun City in North West Province for Ultimate X 2020. Halfway through the week, many events across the country got cancelled, and eventually, the hard decision was made to, unfortunately, cancel Ult X too! So the crew decided to stay in Pretoria for a few extra days, and rather than risk flying back home, everyone opted to take the long drive down the N1 instead.
There was a quick pitstop in Bloemfontein to get a few more clips and then it was back home to Cape Town just in time for several weeks of lockdown. The visiting crew consisted of Alex Williams, Ethan Cairns, Allan Adams, Khule Ngubane and Dlamini Dlamini. We also had the usual media team consisting of Grant McLachlan on photos and Joubert van Staden with the video camera. Finally, rounding out the heavy tour squad were Shaun Burger the local Pretoria ripper and thanks to Reuben Els who stepped in to be the van driver and local guide.

Quick Durban KwaZulu-Natal Fact: Ties with India – Durban has a strong association with India. In fact, it was here that Indian leader Mahatma Ghandi first embarked on his career as a political and social activist. First bought here as indentured labourers in the late 19th century, people of Indian descent now make up 40% of the city’s population. The Indian influence can be seen and felt throughout the city, from some architecture – the many mosques and temples and the Victoria Street Market – to cuisine. The city is famous for Durban Curry and Bunny Chow, a dish which originated in 1940s Durban.
