Kamchatka Riding Video

"The helicopter hovers above the volcano crater just low enough for you to jump out with your bike. The pilot is yelling at you in Russian that it’s your turn to go. Suddenly you feel your breakfast rising up in your throat. Three, two, one- jump!"

"Somehow I found myself in this very situation not long ago in Kamchatka, Russia. As with every trip I take with Alban Aubert, it is guaranteed to be extreme. Staring down the gnarly descent from the summit of Avachinsky Volcano, I knew that this trip would be no different. To tackle Russia’s Volcano Kingdom, Alban enlisted the help of Rene “Mega-Man” Wildhaber and a local guide to point us in the right direction."

 Especially knowing that pilot is drunk just like the bears. Ok, just kidding. I bet, it's cheaper to fly across the Pacific from Canada, than above the Siberia from Central Russia.

 Not the best filming, but that trip is totally sick! 150% sick! I hope I'll visit Russia this year - there are a lot of sick places there.

 Putting the go pro on top of your helmet would make this much more watchable.

 I'm talking to my friends in Russia, I hope they will have some free time for such journey. Maybe not Kamchatka, but something like that - you have a lot of nice places.
