Avery Stumm on Filming Alexey Vermeulen, YouTube & Creative Burnout
Q: Where are you originally from, and how did you find your way into the camera world?

Cape Epic Stage 6 Recap | Jenna Rinehart & Leah Van der Linden
Q: What were the main challenges of today's stage and how did you cope, both mentally and technically?
The pair describe a rough day with frequent mechanical hurdles, a puncture and crash for Leah, limited access to full gear, and a late recovery that involved swapping to spare parts and relying on the support crew. They also discuss the impact on morale and how they rallied to stay competitive, finishing with a determined outlook for tomorrow.
Cape Epic Stage 6 Recap | Jenna Rinehart & Leah Van der Linden
Q: Did you have a bike ready in time for today's race, given the earlier mechanical concerns?
Leah confirms the bike had two wheels and could shift, but there were last-minute doubts and a spring issue in the shock that required improvisation; she ultimately rode with some functional limitations but managed to start and complete the stage. The host's concern about being ready is acknowledged and addressed with a practical progress report.
Cape Epic Stage 1 Recap | Jenna Rinehart & Leah Van der Linden
Q: What are you looking forward to in Stellenbosch or future stages?
The Stellenbosch stages should be fun and technically demanding, with more single track and established trails, but we expect high fatigue and continued climbing.
Cape Epic Stage 1 Recap | Jenna Rinehart & Leah Van der Linden
Q: What strategic value does following another team's wheel provide in unfamiliar sections?
Having a wheel in front helps with line choice and reduces energy waste on unfamiliar descents, which is crucial when you don't know what's ahead.
