With the 2020 Olympic Games officially postponed up until further notice we present to you HELLINIKON.
Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth and Mo Nussbaumer teamed up with Rich Forne and Merlin Czarnulla for a trip to Athens, Greece in February. For this video they wanted to make something different than the usual BMX street video and tried to ride the abandoned canoe track from the 2004 Olympic Games. After lying deserted for many years they have breathed some new life into the venue.
Mo: "Filming this video turned out to be quite challenging and resulted in a week long game of cat and mouse with the local security guards. Getting busted within the first hour of our first day we had to get creative to pursue our goal of riding and filming at the Olympic venue. We ended up having one of us sitting outside the fenced venue and up the road to look out for security to warn the others on the inside.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
