There are riders out there that can't be stopped. They're the first to start riding and the last to get off the ramps. Irek Rizaev is one of those riders. For Irek this pandemic is hard to deal with. He can't sit still. He wants to ride. He wants to travel. He wants to have dinner with more than 2 of his friends. A little catch up with the Russian below in the Last Call... Q&A.
Last contest you entered:
Irek Rizaev: It was 27th of June, but it was small local and only for 15 riders. Because of the pandemic. The last big one was Simple Session.
Last contest you won:
Irek Rizaev: It was this contest I won at the opening of a big extreme park at my home city.
Last package you received from a sponsor:
Irek Rizaev: It was around two weeks ago. Package with the frame of my own brand REDBMX.
Last time you went to the gym:

If there's two minutes of combined riding and music that should launch you into Monday morning with vigor then you can't get much better than this. Relic made it official and unleashed Matty Aquizap on some classic big trails and concrete transitions with some guesties thrown in for good measure. HELL. YES.
