3:34 pm
the sixteen horsepower engine was one of the easier tasks faithfully reproducing the different parts of the car's body was incredibly time consuming. said because there was no this piece of wood here these air intakes it took three days of work so you know machine can do this so i had to do everything by going to all the time wasn't an issue for me with you on the way that it didn't matter if i needed for five years i just wanted to make a model that was unique. michelle is something of an expert at making wooden cars but one to ten scale model once he exhibits them in a little museum which he opens to visitors. his wooden dish of oh is now the main exhibit and his masterpiece. you might get me can

but there are also lots of speed bumps on the way costs and commitments often put people off but a couple from berlin found an alternative way to make their dream a reality in two thousand and twelve and. include figured out how to travel the world while making money jury in their travels but unlike most people they didn't hit the road but rather took to the skies to get a bird's eye view. on today most smooth and dog rain cribber had always dreamed of soaring through the skies above new york or through monument valley. now for the two berliners that dream has come true they were allowed to fly directly over rio de janeiro. and they were the first to cross the andes on their flying motorbike now they're planning to travel across europe with a quick stop in a small town on germany's baltic coast christiane is waiting to greet them.
3:37 pm
welcome to. the flight coordinator lets the couple stay the night in the airport building for free if you have small bites of the everywhere we go people are really helpful when we take off we don't know where we're going to spend the night we have no set plan we improvise i guess for some people on horrors and are you know in the world i'll be spending the night of it for us it's really exciting and it always turns out really well in monotone that miles. interests moto was twenty seven years old when he emigrated to south america and worked there as a tour guide six years ago during a tour through the amazon rain forest he met talking about six months later they decided to fly around the world. i'm going to fluctuate he opened a bottle of wine and finished it afterward you lived in colombia ecuador the caribbean venezuela and so on i want to go there too so i said ok take
3:38 pm
a year off no problem and i'm going to do i no longer then we opened a second bottle of wine and when we'd finished that one green remembered that she had always wanted to fly over a herd of elephants in africa we had a low altitude remember that. so i said ok quit your job we'll sell all our stuff and the few things we keep we'll just put on the track and then we'll head off on our world tour. since two thousand and twelve the couple have traveled to over forty different countries they've covered a distance of more than fifty thousand kilometers it's a real adventure because the ultralight hang glider waste just four hundred seventy five kilograms and is very susceptible to the weather. i don't have a fear of flying i love flying and this open trike is like a bird this is the real deal it's so much fun. and that's my place to spot.
3:39 pm
the couple finance their globetrotter existence with the help of sponsors by giving talks and writing books and on to a still works as a tour guide but flying around in their trike also has a downside they can only take twelve kilos of luggage with them thats it. they pick if we have put all our luggage in there the blue bags contain our clothes and we have a tank over here so we can walk to a petrol station to get fuel. and our computer and camera chargers are down there in the black bag of food he come. down here into the engine is our parachute can even activated an altitude of one hundred meters that's in a good mood not me fortunately they've never had to use their parachutes but they've certainly encountered some dangerous situations in the do i want to make an emergency landing in ecuador and it was raining really hard i couldn't see a thing you know you flew along the coast and there was a small patch of sand and i had to try to land the trike there she'd be in
3:40 pm
a strip of sand was fifty years sixty metres long. i managed. and the next day when the tide was out really you realised that we now have lots of space and we're going to take off again safely but a lot of these i mean i thought. the two adventurers plan to keep flying across europe until the end of twenty eighteen then in twenty nineteen they plan to head for africa their greatest aim is to one day arrive in sydney after clocking up one hundred sixty thousand kilometers and crossing over one hundred countries that would certainly be one record breaking flight and the journey of a lifetime. well next time you go out and about how to look up to see if you can spot. pedaling above you now moving on to motor sports fans of also movil racing live the high

model this is when the virtual car and the photograph driver become one details like atmospheric lighting or realistic smoke around it it's a demanding process and takes two to three months to produce a single picture the main reason why we're doing what we're doing was because we want to run away from what we did before there was like i'm freaking advertisement so the very first project so the earth started because we really wanted to enjoy what we're doing we we didn't want to have anyone on the other side telling us how to do things better in leon also except commissions british racing team mclaren for example wanted a picture of james hunt racing to win one thousand nine hundred seventy six world championship in japan a simple picture like this costs fifty thousand euros and up the techniques the artist use can also be applied to themes outside of motorsports well i have a list of fifty two scenes that i like to do so i would probably go to some and

wars like crusaders or. something like this. now i think the first landing on the more interesting and we kind of started with the project but we stick to cars so far. for now the two have their work cut out just reconstructing pictures from the history of racing and currently working on projects with ferrari and aston martin but he can run boussac and packer milewski into terms of things outside the world of motorsports series on historic aircraft is already waiting in the waves. now it's a vehicle that isn't powered by a motor but has persevered as a method of transport for around two hundred years in fact there are more bicycles than cars in the world both in total and ranked by the number of individual models

produced there have been all sorts of advancements since the first wooden bike hit the store shelves in the nineteenth century but in bold garia two architects turnpike inventors have created a new version by taking a step back their so-called half bike reduces the bicycle to its basic elements our reporter michael gave it a test run on the streets of south korea. this is not an ordinary bike ride through town this is not an ordinary bike it doesn't have just one back wheel but two and they're both tiny and forget about the saddle this is not about comfort you have to use your whole body to ride a hoss bike and it takes a bit of practice. that's half biogas animism it's a cross between a bike an escape for him but when you ride it it's a completely different feeling it's
3:47 pm
a whole new experience because i'm against. hi michael you went to sofia in bulgaria to meet the inventors of the half bike so far all half bikes are made in this workshop and sent around the world mainly to the us. by costs five hundred euros to easy to fold up which is great for people who live in the. cities. designers originally architects who love to invent things. like simplify things. started to think. bike which is. very thick very very very light. very. like. for. the
3:48 pm
prototypes consisted of half a bike and meet back wheel many times featuring too many wheels followed but the only stability and balance the breakthrough came when they started using two skateboard wheels and a structure made of other medium and would bend the back wheels got bigger and thicker. our reporter first learned the ropes the design is explained that she could only brake using the back wheels and that there were three kids yet they pointed out that the handlebar can't be twisted you have to shift your weight to go around the corner. then it was time to put the theory to the test. the bike will start their all either direction again try to get a straight wife try to boss the bar and try to get three like this was that. it at first she wasn't at all relaxed she thought she wouldn't make it at all it was a bit rough to begin with.
3:49 pm
but she got the hang of it after ten minutes. although she didn't dare try the tougher courses beating those two more experienced half bike riders lisa. bloom. she practiced a little more before venturing out into the wild since there are a few psychopaths in sofia she preferred to hone his skills in the park before confronting the up and jungle she was able to go straight quite fast but it took a while to master the turns. then she decided to see if others were quicker at learning and she was. it seems that hardly anyone can really ride a half bike without
3:50 pm
a bit of practice. but those who master it sometimes ride two at the same time. but in poverty it is the other leg it looks easy but it really is and it takes quite a lot of effort and every muscle is needed you have to be quite fit to ride a half bike but if you are then it's really quite good fun then of course fast. while michael was having fun and beginning to master riding the half bike the team and sophia was already working on new ideas since there are many. ways of reinventing the wheel. well we're not reinventing the wheel with the next lot of rickety cars we now move on to soapbox cars normally motiveless vehicles which are raced on a downhill road but frank ben conan's creations are quite

a lot more glamorous than your standard gravity reisa he models them on iconic old racing cars from bugatti ferrari and bentley it all began as a hobby but today he makes a pretty penny with his custom made old timers. features that hark back to the olden days but this isn't a well preserved classic it's a soap box replica built in twenty seventeen and the proposition of sisters. is. that we as kids are allowed to drive a car even if it's a small cut. out and it's a lot of fun when. i lay should this i think it's great because it's fun and it's always a new experience. it's. this soap box even has a motor the girls to cedar is handmade and one of a kind it's

a remake of the english one nine hundred thirty s. . and it's pretty much their dad's dream car dad christiane is a big fan of classic cars and he's able to pass on his passion to us. from discourse i'm very hopeful and i take my girls to classic car races at the nürburgring. sometimes they take part in rallies along with me and my wife. i'm optimistic that they'll make their father's hobby their own. and this is the man who builds them. from people in southern germany his artistry might not make him rich but he doesn't mind it's all about the look in kids' eyes. when i see that makes me really happy because that's what the cars are actually made for i mean i like driving but when children drive and really have
3:53 pm
a great time that's the greatest joy for me. it all started in twenty twelve there was the soap box race in funky village he'd been tinkering with cars. since he was sixteen so he had no problem building his own race and he didn't have the space to keep it so he sold it there was such an onslaught of buyers that he turned building soap boxes into a regular thing. i love any type of car from before world war two. like all my cars. he works as a foreign sales agent but he's made quite a name for himself with his classic soap box speedsters. certain basic idea in my head and then i start building and it just happens. it develops itself building it there's no fix concept this is a concept i know what the car is supposed to look like when it's done and then i make sure that's how it turns out. each of his soap boxes is one of.
3:54 pm
the base is always a wooden board fixed to a wooden frame then he makes the aluminum body which can take weeks sometimes months depending on the model with all this attention to detail doesn't it hurt to let go of his mobile masterpieces. yes every time. but the problem is. you have to let it go sooner or later. but maybe just one can stay. completely rebuilt his classic car only the chassis and motor of the english one nine hundred thirty standard head remains. for custom husky design something extra special a soapbox to practice racing. the idea was really to get a sense of the experience even indoors the car turned out beautifully from the
