Video: George Panagopoulos Shredding the Streets of Athens Brakeless

So, who is George Panagopoulos and why am I writing this? A couple of months ago, I found out that my steerer was bent and that I was going to need a new fork. I didn't have any money at the time so I was in a tough spot. Then I remembered that my boy George, who is a rough shredder to say the least, had cracked his crown and no longer had any need of the parts I so desperately needed. I contacted him straight away and he was more than happy to send me his fork refusing to even discuss money. "Ζήτω το χώσιμο!" we said to each other, which translates into something like "Long live shredding!". It's something that I often say but it applies better to no other than George.

Since I have known him, George has been progressing the street MTB scene here in Greece. He is one of those guys that watching him ride makes you question your commitment to the sport. George has a unique style and he is fearless on the bike, but grounded nonetheless and quite humble off it.

Yesterday, when George announced that he was going to drop an edit I got nervous to be honest. I was really worried about how awful I would feel about my riding. But who cares right? It's been ages since he dropped a video part and I was excited. I mean sure the dude drops insta clips everyday, but an edit is different.

Today, after watching his video I was blown away. "I got to post this shit!" I thought, after all I owe him. It has been long since I have been trying to think of ways to promote my boy, but who am I to do so? I don't even have enough time to figure out my own shit. Anyway, George's riding speaks for itself and posting this right now is the least I could do. I believe his riding skills ought to be internationally recognised, so please check him out! He deserves your attention! Trust me you won't be dissapointed!
