Kunye – A story from SSWC 2012

We’ve been eagerly anticipating this one. Shot at the festive Single Speed World Champs its both beautiful and a somber celebration of a great rider who inspired us to get out and ride.

The Sinamatella crew break it down for us:

Was it a dream? Was it a folk-tale? Did these protagonists come here to fight on old battlegrounds or did they come here in celebration? Perhaps they just looking for a journey, a chance to travel back to the start, to rediscover their love for the bike. Inspired by TS Eliot’s Little Gidding, this short film tells the story of the SSWC 2012 held in Africa for the first time.
