Every skater looks for the best gaps to land. Red Bull athlete Jean-Marc Johannes took it to a whole ‘nother level when he landed a gap suspended 10 meters in the air, with Cape Town’s famed Table Mountain as the backdrop.

Although he conjured up the idea two years ago, the actual shoot took months of planning.

Leander Lacey, well-known stuntman and stunt coordinator for the shoot, explained the intricacies of arranging the shoot: "The most difficult thing about the shoot was making sure that the containers maintained a consistent position and were stable so not to rock while he was in action."

Two 12-metre containers were suspended above the yard in Culemborg on Cape Town’s Foreshore, three metres apart. Though most skaters land gaps like that daily, they don’t it suspended 10 metres in the air.

"I’m still pumped on adrenaline! It’s by far the craziest thing I’ve ever done," Jean-Marc said after the gap jump. "To be honest, I really thought it would be easier but once you’re up there it’s pretty scary. I’m so stoked it happened."

Situated at the south-western tip of Africa, the Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) encompasses the incredibly scenic Table Mountain Chain stretching from Signal Hill in the north to Cape Point in the south and the seas and coastline of the peninsula.

The narrow finger of land with its beautiful valleys, bays and beaches is surrounded by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean in the west and the warmer waters of False Bay and has within its boundaries two world-renowned landmarks – majestic Table Mountain and the legendary Cape of Good Hope.

The Park is recognised globally for its extraordinarily rich, diverse and unique fauna and flora – with rugged cliffs, steep slopes and sandy flats – is a truly remarkable natural, scenic, historical, cultural and recreational asset both locally and internationally. Nowhere else in the world does an area of such spectacular beauty and such rich bio-diversity exist almost entirely within a metropolitan area – the thriving and cosmopolitan city of Cape Town.

A unique feature of the TMNP is that it is primarily an open access Park with only three points where conservation fees are payable, Cape of Good Hope, Boulders and Silvermine, the rest of the Park is open access and free for all to enjoy.
