many people dream of quitting their job and traveling the world perhaps you do too 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 during that travels but unlike most people they didn't hit the road but rather took to the skies to get a bird's eye view. smooth rain clear but 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 endings on their flying motorbike

12:40 am
was raining really hard i couldn't see a thing 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 the strip of sand was fifty years sixty metres long. i managed. and the next day when the tide was out really realised we now have lots of space and we can take off again safely but they found in all this i mean i thought. the two adventurers plan to keep flying across europe until the end of twenty eighteen then in two thousand and nineteen they claim 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're out and about have a look up to see if you can spot. the pedaling above you now moving on to motor

through an average of two thousand a regional sources before finally deciding on a motif for to start by creating a three d. model of the car and it centering on the computer and go on to make sure every detail is right this precise template is crucial for the next step of the photo shoot physically this is the picture that we rendered before we went to the photo shoot and then when we were on the search using the people so you you know you can . person and place it into the picture so you know that angle is right that the lighting is right and you know that you get the picture you need. when paired there and yon take their photos it looks like a film sat at times with up to one hundred extras in historical clothing makeup artists and artificial rain. the photos are later mounted on campuses up to eight square metres in science so even the smallest details can be
12:44 am
scrutinized. with. the last step is again digital the image processing then the shots from the center combined with the three d. 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 wanted to run away from what we did before and that was like working in advertisement so the very first project so the earth started because we really wanted to enjoy what we are doing we we didn't want to have anyone on the other side telling us how to do things better in iran 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

artists use can also be applied to teams outside of motorsports well i have a list of fifty scenes that i like to do so i would probably go to some. wars like crusaders or. something like this. now i think the first. interesting and we kind of started with the project but we stick to the cars so far. for now the two have their work cut out just reconstructing pictures from the history of racing they're currently working on projects with ferrari and aston martin but you can run boussac and patter milewski into terms of things outside the world of motorsports series on historic aircraft is already waiting in the wings. now to 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 vogue area two architects turnpike inventors have created a new version by taking a step back their so-called hof bike reduces the bicycle to its basic elements our reporter michael gave it a test run on the streets of software. this is not an ordinary bike ride through town this is not an ordinary bike it doesn't have just one pack 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
12:47 am
i guess animism it's a cross between a bike in a skateboard but when you ride it it's a completely different feeling and it's 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 off by costs five hundred euros to easy to fold up which is great for people who live in the. cities. designers are originally architects who love to invent things. like simplify things. started to think. bike which is. very thick very very very light. very. vital. so
12:48 am
i was. like. for. the prototypes consisted of half a bike and a mini pack 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 an a mini and would then 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 they were through the gears 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. about the start of their own. direction again try to get a straight wife and try to abolish the bar and try to be as real like this last

that. they are 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. but she got the hang of it after ten minutes. although she didn't dare try the tougher courses beating those two more experienced tough bike riders elite. 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 jungle she was able to go straight quite fast but it took a while to master turns. then she decided to see if others were quicker at learning fun she was. looking.
12:50 am
for. it. it seems that hardly anyone can really ride a hoss bike without a bit of practice. but those who master it and sometimes ride two at the same time . but in poverty if you have the law 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 a raced on a downhill road but frank baum 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 and. the example that we as kids are allowed to drive a car even if it's a small car. out and it's a lot of fun when. i lay should this i think it's great to you because it's fun and
12:52 am
it's always a new experience. it's. this soap box even has a motor girls two seater is handmade and one of a kind it's a remake of the english nine hundred thirty s. . and it's pretty much their dad's dream car dad close down is a big fan of classic cars and he's aiming to pounce on his passion to use. mine all from his course i'm very hopeful and i take my girls to classic car races at the nürburgring. for sometimes they take part in rallies along with me and my wife. i'm optimistic that they'll make their fathers hobbies their own. and this is the man who builds them. from people like in southern germany his artistry might not make him rich but he doesn't mind it's all about the look in
12:53 am
kids' eyes. when i see that makes me really happy because that's what the cars are actually made for i mean i drive but when children drive and really have a great time that's the greatest joy for me. it all started in twenty twelve there was a soapbox race in funk village he'd been tinkering with cars. since he was sixteen so he had no problem building his own race or. he didn't have the space to keep it so he sold it there was such an onslaught of buyers that each one building soap boxes into a regular thing. i love any type of car before world war two they're all beautiful i have no favorites i like all my cars the same. he works as a foreign sales agent but he's made quite a name for himself with his classic soap box speedsters. have a certain basic idea in my head and then i start building and it just happens. it
12:54 am
develops itself building it there's no fixed 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 this is you know. each of his soap boxes is one of. 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 can't keep everything. 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 had remains of. four cars husky design something extra special a soapbox to practice racing. to dubai the idea was really to get
12:55 am
a sense of the experience even endorse the car turned out beautifully from the right doesn't have any wheels of course it runs on roller self but it really helps me practice for circuit races. his daughters are still only ten and eleven years old and it'll be a while before they're racing for real. if the two still have a soft spot for cars like their dad when they grow up remains to be seen right now it's looking highly likely. that's all from us for today tomorrow will be back with another special edition of your marks so make sure to join us again about an hour. and our next euro back special cuttin fine dining fifty meters above the ground.
