Personal Achievement

[Shola Schreuder]

You guys must watch KYKNET on Wednesdays at 19:00pm (RSA time)!  I was just recently in the Polaris African Star Challenge and they now until mid August have the whole thing on TV!  It's a personal achievement for me, but nice to share with you!  Check it out!  Maybe - if any of you like quads - you could be in the finals next year!  I am definitely going to enter in 2008 again, it's excellent fun for beginners to pros!

thanks!  It was great!  And fun to watch yourself on TV.  We were in the July issue of Dirt & Quad as well.  Nice to represent our town and country.

This is going back a long way...but talking about personal achievement and bravery...Shola was it not you when we were young down at beauvelon camp site that jumped into a swelling raging orange with a rope to swim to a few ghuys stuck in the reeds...??????????????

Im sure it was debbie or lindie Ray that got trapped, we were all on windsurfer boards and canoes messiing about...you swam the rope to one of the parents and from there about 5 adults formed a chain along the rope that you delivered to drag them all to safety.....NOW THAT IS BRAVERY and PERSONAL sense of satisfaction and achievement......

i may be wrong as it was 100's yrs ago but if this was you it has stuck with me all these years just the selfless bravery and courage.....awesome bru.....

well done on the bike thing....by the way

[Shola Schreuder]

Yes, that was me!  Dumb if you ask me now...  I could've died and almost did.  But ja, is was one of the Ray twins.  She got pulled down river on the board and got stuck in the reeds where no-one could get to her...  That was scary!

I remember that I ended up at the end of the rope - it was too short - I had the very end in my mouth, while trying to stay afloat against the current.  My arms were tired and my legs and because I could only breathe through my nose, I kept getting water up it.  It was horrid!  I have never been that scared in my life!  I could also hear the twin in the reeds calling me to swim to her, but as I tugged at the reeds, they kept coming out the bottom and drifting away so I couldn't get closer.  Then the parents had worked their way along the bank and made a chain to pull us out!

Wow, that was many moons ago!  I think I was seven at the time...

I don't think it was a personal achievement but, I was a bit of a dare devil back in my younger days and so I took a jump out of a flying aeroplane at 3,500ft and now, I am scared of heights.....
