a man in summing. up the petrol let's festival everything is about women and men making machines. around $400.00 men just like a levels from around the wills have come to take commenting in europe's biggest female motorcycle festival. it is. the best festival in all of the world and i go to a lot of festivals right out here for. it's ok to meet so many. and i am of. those fields all of them being at. the festival is being held on the sides of a former open cost coal mine close for more open this the city of the lion. located roughly a 2 hour motorcycle ride away from berlin the site boasts everything a bike a could want the race track and every nut and even a living. but for these by his there is no time to

relax. now give it your all. and it's moto yoga the festival participants can work on their flexibility balance and mindfulness all of which are important when riding a motorcycle yoga instructor not a message no one is what matters most. most most if you fail to do motocross or ride off road like i do you need to have gone back and stomach muscles because you're constantly going up out of your seat and down again so you need to strengthen your back as well as your stomach on your entire core has to be firm about them with your guy and that is what it's all about in off road training please enjoy your bikes on slim. street models and the toys have to transfer and basically you need to ride standing up on usual even for bikers with plenty of experience. but canadian yvonne ducks worth his while to venture into this new

terrain the bikes are completely different than what i'm used to so they're much higher but it's all a lot of balance and the way you move your hips and throw your weight so i mean that's a great practice to which is headed by tina maya one of the very few female bankers to take part in the dot com rally the famous off road in joran. petra nets she passes on her experience of tackling daunting to rein. what slides of rounds the ground is a bit like a dance partner you don't know you get impulses and you pick them up on the bike and use them on the road you do everything to keep the times from sliding out but here it's let it slide it's funds. among the festival highlights on the sprint races here the cost us riders compete against one another in various things according to the powers the engine.

needs 200 metres from start to finish one of the competitors it's a check she finished 2nd in this race but to her having fun comes 1st. so you're kind of outside time and space sort of like you're in a tunnel it gives me the jitters and i feel like i'm floating that. you get in a cockpit launch the picture let's festival in 2016. she hopes it will continue to strengthen the female community. for me there's a certain thing i really like the exchange with other women and we see things i saw i. so in my personal. perience you don't have to prove yourself or have shop. here in the history lets people perceive you differently and accept you so. if you

don't know something we can do something they'll help you right away. even away from women you don't yet have a motorcycle license to join in on the fun. we've all been faced with the dilemma of what to do with boxes when they are empty well the french visual artist olivier goals ted has an idea he create structures like this one here and he makes it a collective project he. has created huge cardboard buildings in cities all over the world bringing people of all walks of life together in the name of art while we went to northern france so we'll leave this contemporary installation. the cardboard boxes and lots of helping hands are all the only techniques for his monumental art this

is urban art of another kind 14 cardboard buildings up to 27 meters tall and weighing one and a half tons each he's having a city built within a city on the waterfront into half the friends his largest cardboard creation to date does that make him nervous. we could build a lot more here without. the conditions actually make me more nervous than the construction itself. removal. of that was almost completely destroyed in the 2nd world war later french architect. designed housing for around 60000 people a masterpiece of urban planning. ology cause ted drew inspiration from the world heritage site for his cardboard installation.

and some pretty. you need to do that again it's fascinating work and a bit like being an architect. i have kids and as a boy i myself used to play with cardboard boxes to which you're asking did you get your way you can be anything you want a little come with a ship an airplane or whatever he said you know the truth of. these monumental cardboard concepts would hardly be feasible without plenty of help from the people of new. buildings are made of some 3000 rolls of tape and 23000 boxes far fewer than bricks in the originals they take just one week of construction not much to build an entire city but it did require months of planning and precision drawings much like an architect would make. the 46 year old artist's favorite piece is the tower. room

this is a replica inspired by st joseph's church and they all have the fear that regime change now history test the limits of the limits we're going to build it's about 26 meters 26 and a hot almost 27 meters high can win votes that. participatory art gets people involved. fabulous here in the open and nice weather it's extraordinary that you know there she was the can you get outside it's creation. everybody works together to set the record it's a chance for everyone to pitch in and help out. the artist sees working and building together and the energy that is set for. as an essential part of this art happenings now the buildings are almost done. with only a few meters to go a strong wind starts blowing with gusts of 60 kilometers an hour some of the

buildings start to sway. equal council vote. it's attacking to do much better service too bad we can't get as far as jobs but at the moment it's just too dangerous to have people working low that you can wreak havoc with. nature puts a premature end to the construction and in the morning down the tower collapses. others fall victim to the wind. only 4 of the buildings came through the night intact the ruins of the others inspire the public to make a few spontaneous creations of their own. but oh yeah we've collected pieces from all over the place and now we've built this piece here it's. the cardboard city stands for just 2 days. but then the big demolition operation begins the only piece not to be torn apart is this tower

it's carefully hoisted up and carried away as requested by the people of laughter the demolition is also a part of only vehicles ted's concept the cardboard city is meant to be a femoral. well that's it now it's over this is really the end of the project. it only take a little while before the place is empty. but it's fun to watch the people laughing shouting. and enjoying themselves. even with the inclement weather the happening was a complete success and. is already planning his next cardboard city.

today if you want to tell something to your friend or neighbor who lives across the alps well you probably reach for your cell phone but back in the day i'll porn was used to all different sound sequences had different messages the out form was also used by shepherds to collect their cattle in the mountains while today it is considered a national symbol of switzerland at that country's biggest alpine festival we find out why. switzerland prides itself on stunning mountain panorama breathtaking scenery and the national symbol that's music to the ears of many the alpine home. and the thousands of al born fans flocked to dance in the canton of valis to pay homage to this instrument that's a whopping $3.00 and a half meters long. from belgium for all the flemish part i come from holland for

my just a very good english. i come from germany from china haven and we really like alcohol music that's why we're here you know. there are around 4000 active alcohol in place in switzerland here and 150 musicians from around the globe have gathered for the country's largest alcohol and festival most of them over 50 but there are also young instrumentalists with a passion for the alpine home. for. the trend seems to be moving towards younger people. perhaps they're trying to get out of the. plane. chromatic pitches in order. as much as possible. so in this middle his.

depending on the horn players can produce 12 to 16 different notes enough to perform contemporary pieces. the international group the alpine sisters specializes in this kind of music. it's not possible to play everything of course but the style. is like if you imagine a trumpet without the. limits of possibilities for a while it was like really as i said before it was going to relay the folklore but now it's like making really a comeback. and i guess that no it's really cool again it's really trendy. we. originally shepherds use the point as a way to communicate with one another over long distances and not just in europe shepherds in asia also played similar instruments but there were both close to 500

years of history the alpine hoon is being heard less and less these days and the data is considered to be switzerland scalp on capitol hill almost everyone plays one including patty c.m. one of my mother is an icon player also she plays with me in the group. i guess is just. i just started because she was playing its and i thought it was a cool instrument and. now here i am. l. paul and play is also of course instruments to play in switzerland some 40 instrument make his specialize in crafting alpine homes once one of his so is one of them it takes him 2 weeks to make an album but the wood from the red spruce must strive for 5 to 8 years before he starts working on it. which is a tree that grows in poor soil. one that grows very slowly due to the rocky ground

. as its brains are very constricted the tree grows quite slowly but that's the kind of what we look for we call it. is the same kind of wood used to make violins guitars and up a musical instruments. like the men from the dark proudly uphold others swiss traditions to what's known as gas the flip. and the form with huge cowbells. a nice of the festival comes when the $150.00 alpine one players perform together that's bound to be the case again next year too when al gore and fans flocked to southern switzerland for the 19th edition of the. to learn more about european lifestyle and culture. when you come to like. your romance.
