4 abril, 2016
Los ciclistas Andi Tillmann, Kyle Jameson y Michi Tillmann, exploraron los territorios vírgenes de este país africano y grabar un espectacular video para Red Bull. Desde un oasis llamado Goanikontes en el Desierto Naukluft, hicieron maniobras increíbles en dunas y zonas en las casi es impracticable el ciclismo. Estos genios del pedal demostraron que para ellos casi nada es imposible.
