The thing is the PIPE

No so long ago, maybe two weeks ago, surfing the net after work, I got a message from my friend (bmx rider), he told me that his mate-photographer had found a tube in the city and offered me to ride there. I've asked myself "What? Inside the tube? It's like in a pro-videos where guys are riding with their heads down inside a loop..."

But one question made me umbussed - Me, riding more than 10 years and suposing that I've learned all the location where a bmx rider can ride, couldn't supose that in Togliatti, somewhere is located a tube, where a rider can ride.

And now, sitting behind the wheel, two days later and drove behind the guys, until the last I did not believe that it still exists and it would be possible to ride there. Even approaching her and seeing this colossus in my eyes, I could not imagine that a bicycle and the person managing it could fit in it - either everything is bad with my imagination, or I just need to ride more often in pipes.

In general, it was fun, we rode and did what we could, there is an idea to return there and try to make something even more spectacular, but this is only later, but for now the result is lower: in the form of a small story in photos, thank you for your attention Wink
