in the midst of a crazy contest season where the pressure is always our wanted
to have a vacation with some chill riding and chose to come here
we got to get in just hit me it was like do you want to go to Russia and I was
like I'm not sure what's happening
oh sure super cool for me to come back to you know the motherland basically and
ride some bikes here
man I was pretty blown away when i first got here because it seems like in the
middle of nowhere but all the building they did for the Sochi Olympics it's
just that mind-blowing just like they're just like home
I don't speak one word Russian so like without Nikoli I would be completely
lost discuss the cydia the order was it them cross country or the 70s and
accommodation
you took any subtitles family helps to better my first language was Russian
so even though i was born in the states I'm hundred percent rushing about Martin
along because you know epic rider and good friend of mine for ages
yes
good
yeah
Wow
even though the scene is very new here section and incredible
what they've built you know we've having loads of fun riding the trails
Nikolai definitely have a bit of a different background into the sport and
he actually even riding BMX his whole life
Martin is a vital guy to my korean are he was the guy that helped me get my
first mountain biking on land he hit me out but like do you have a mountain bike
that i can try and help them out a little bit with specialized so we could
get a jump i so i would say that's pretty much always been doing just like
doing jumps and slopes of horses so it's really really fun now
the steam coming here now this is just a whole new experience for him with the
whole trail riding this writing is way out of my comfort zone different from
anything I've done but any journey on two wheels is one that I'm still to take
yeah
there's a bunch of different fun trails here in the bike park so even more
decided to have a race down then
yeah right in the middle i found a firm gap that seems epic
at your local just a little secret lock it was cool hydrant
yeah I don't really know what happened there I just see a cannonball a Russian
cannibal is coming in flying from the side it was a pretty hard impact so
hopefully we decided to go and hit up this owner for a bit
really hard to breathe and so hot i love their efficient
this is your packed up to four wheel drive cars and bombed all the way to the
top of the mountain and there you could really find the like Russian culture but
yeah we got to experience the best possible way just sitting and eating it
like with the most beautiful background you would ever see in the air on the
edge of a cliff
yeah
overall this trip to sochi was definitely a good get away from active
conscious season you know if we experience this whole different sochi
world and it's definitely a destination were coming too
they got it all the have massive mountains like super seen a place
overall and I just hope they will keep on building and I want to come back here
in a couple of years and see how hard they give it
down
yeah
