The last couple of days I've spent in Moscow, Russia and they've been nothing short of amazing. Alexander Furaev sent me an invitation to check out the BMX scene and experience the Russian BMX Awards firsthand. Also on the program of invited guests were Nigel Sylvester, Brian Kachinsky, Ralphy Ramos and Ryan Fudger so the crew was rather deep. After arriving on Wednesday
Alexander Sokolay showed us the red square. We got there in his Camaro which was an experience in itself. The locals, including
Nikita, were awesome from the start and during the stay we met more an more people.
The only riding that we saw was on Thursday night when we arrived at the Adrenalin Park. A jam was held with the riders that had shown up for the annual Russian BMX Awards evening on Friday. The park normally doesn't allow BMX, which is strange, but the jam happened and was on the relaxed side. The vibe was chill and on 4 different parts of the park, a 10 minute session was held.
