it's freezing. cold winters turn your average trip east here my chilly journey is going to spam you three thousand kilometers take me from the racetracks of western russia to the streets of some very strong city with some bumps on clapper's. but when someone they're preparing for ross's fight with my celebrity insults so high until the spring oh but there are a great variety is the i.c.l. . this busy garridge is full of only speedway competitors men who think nothing of racing round frozen tracks at one hundred thirty kilometers an hour with no breaks and i was being

shown around by russia's best three saw and seen world champion genteel even off so this is mega law they're ok so this is this is danielle steve these are the guys who actually won the world championship because they're good at that but. this. is your bike. was never going to. and it's time is something to the holes please spike's so. sick of this. ok. the downside basic things like. the old school hasn't put him off but trying to make sure he doesn't pick up any new ones. and i think currently i'm the only a russian athletes you know where this kind of year some pretty serious protection they need just in case it's like

a full suit of armor plus extra. it was time to make a long article is now time for the truck and for me to take my place in the stands . good. luck it's just the back side of. the race follows the same rules as some of speedway pull ups anticlockwise the looks of things i wouldn't find many against a live. wire wheel. yeah. but it's not just the speedway riders should be want in the wind so. now i want to force them in conditions like these driving in would be tough enough in itself but it seems that there's always a way to make it

a little bits challenging and locked away in a tally actually garrincha to buy cars on a one wheeled monster. that's considered hello. i'm alexy nice to meet you and this is your famous yes it's our uni motto we are preparing for the competitions you want to help we're planning to load it of course we can't. do this alexei is a uniform so right i'm a firm believer that one wheel is better than two i'm the designer of his highly international creation. so i don't think lives arise any fully who knew who ski customs people so this is their custom made russian by the japanese mansion it is a willis from. the indies be. a mighty good. deal. he had light comes from india.

and there is also cork that used to belong to is ingerson machine. since the boy schooled megalopolis which translates as mega slipper but it's a two hundred kilos she's not all that comfortable to teal with. so this is. the legacy. of last. championship ploy to me. going to win. i don't want to hear stories. we're ready to head off some megalopolis loaded up and i get to see what she can do. in the stadium.

i'm fatalities you know multiple championships everyone is looking to build a machine guns like the road has become the wife range of shapes and sizes individuality is the name of the game no two bikes or the like a way need to compete is one wheel propulsion system this is the first ever ice unit motor festival on the sports found a way for us to see. was unique is that this is not twenty one year odyssey to come into this at the sport was originally invented for the people of the world this is not a money man's sport this is for people who are creative who can take an idea from inside their mind build that into a machine and then have the guts to get on it and ride it but everybody can do that

it doesn't matter to young old men women children there's a class for everyone money will not win this war creativity and ingenuity will. most places not so i'm sure along with some serious species and i'll make a lot that's certainly hold sorry. but if you're looking for a broader more genteel way to spend a winter we've come to. think of the. better days out than the trip to the truck and here in russia they've got their own style of racing which takes a bit. of. this stunt foam prepares forces specifically for the troika it's a uniquely russian form of racing the dates back to the time of catherine the great

and uses three horses honest alongside each of it's a polish slate the stable uses all of truckloads a powerful elegant breeds and it was time to get them ready for the big day. boy. raise a good for us. a senior statesman of the stables. experience. they have. you believe horse of asa ledge. everything is prepared as it would have been back in the eighteenth century complete with the bells that told everyone the troika was on its way. you can see why this would be some spectacle these three. in full flow together. three. beautiful triplets presently. and i was about to get

a taste of what they can do now this is what i call riding in style alexandria death and alexander. are ready to go i were off to the races or would sir. certainly i'm a delinquents trouble just make sure you won't. pull mine off of little dump for the horses certainly house and once they go into the race track they really let loose alexandra eaten his trainer i have been winning titles for the best part of twenty years and it was no surprise to see them surged

through to take another trophy back to the stables. after one of russia's more rights and methods of winter transport it was time for me to try one of the nearest under load was invented far away museums it's become a common science a country ski resort. you need certain skills to succeed nimble footwork brute strength. but seemingly in this next one just coming to gravity to trick. it's the gun it's the. good morning hello it's l.a. . it's on my choice all things leaders it's like every thirteen sure is no injures ok let's go miss you when you haven't had a launch breakfast it probably is just in case our instructor was on hand to give me some safety tips. ok so there are two spheres the inside spirit has

a diameter of two metres the outside one measures three point two metres you will be fastened at six points and some of the straps will keep your hands and feet in place others will hold your body in check your job is to spread out your weight of overall six fasteners so if you're ready let's go i'm ready i think so. right he. was very comfy. still safe secure. and ready to roll that hill hey. it seems hopelessly to mean head over heels convergys squats a range of emotions ready as i'll ever be. the

answer. to. that. was. ok i'm going to add one small covets what i said before a strong stomach is definitely an advantage. just make sure the call is close by because you might have trouble walking in a straight line for a while. when it is a little while. six. wealthy british style. time. market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy

with mike's cause or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kaiser report on r.t. . to . use. on. the running downhill of the giant monster i was hoping that my next speech would be

wrong the whole states france on the frozen lakes of the country southwest not slowing down any more. now i'm here to say he'll look at one of the newest and fastest growing winter sports in russia combine skiing snowboarding windsurfing on one of these this is so-called sing along not the type of. tell me ask you brings together some of the best riders from all across the country for us on you will advance a race across the ice the house contest is traveling up to one hundred kilometers. wow. voice that. you were going to give me a very quick basic introduction and she's so close so we have all our next bonus little. there's a little wind and a little luck we should be good books. and even a little cause takes a lot of preparation. for starting. the first

understand where the wind from where now the birth of his half. blood because. we're. with bank of england c.e.o. . take it out for something else. then you just have to let the lines out one or two full stops or one. all of a must be you know like you driving as. good as keeping you in the air is easier said than done live. or let let let let you know that. if he's going to let more i go. i'm happy.

i do that i was great fun i tell you what though i can't imagine that you're doing something which is going to slowly me across the snow with it fortunately this time i don't have to i'm just about maintaining you the moment i think and that's when. most notable attach but. all this will do me i'm going to leave the actual racing to eagle here and see. how far i can get with this very. well i practiced eagle went to get ready for the serious business of the day when i joined him for his final preparations. special of the. discipline. in russia the place for the president here and once the wind really begins to blow conditions start to get very tough. best of luck thank you finish.

and then as his competitors started to move away eagle was ready to go. to take his place in the start. it's very funny because there isn't any whistles all klaxons or anything but i'm reliably informed he's about to head off but see what time he makes that. the run is make two loops of the ice for a thirty kilometer race skiis travel far more quickly than the snowboarders so it looked like we might be in for points in the points. here is for that one. all the way. a number of judges keep track of each race timing the riders as they pass through the checkpoints and after

a very chilly last loop i saw regal heading for the finish line. i couldn't make a winter sports program without a visit to siberia russia small just an coldest region in fact to get some chilly head the coaches have to warm up the pools so players don't get injured they live here in camera but it's no footy the brings the crowds out here it's a whole different ball game. to syria i say hi james already going well yeah we're had. the game good to put you through yet very loud. not that the stadium can hold up to receive thousand files and it's easy to get drawn into the speed and dynamism of the game you learn you look at the analogy of well penalty say they get. back kicking some

but here i was you. know they score. so we're going to ruin it. and it's not just a fan favorite in siberia. i just board has always been popular all across russia but i'm somewhat of skin cream or yale the way t.v. can trees west including our hahnville street and more months on the white sea coast in other words people really enjoy this open air game all over russia i can understand why it was goals flying in from both angles the final score and a seven six to cause chaos and it turns out that you don't have to be a pro to get. to know me on skates generally equals me on the

full fairly quickly but there is a bit more of a fun friendly version of the new you can play easing these are not is what we're all here. have a go at today. i just need to meet up with that gang on a couple of us equip. you with a good anyone can play dandy all you need is stick some felt boots ok. what's most important is that you played with passion for ten cent ok you got your boots and will supply you with a stick. you might as well try to your self. righteous don't teach your opponent with a stick. and it's also forbidden to push your opponent for you so let's go now this is a game that they play outside in song period so it's important to have the expected . friendly unimposing status in the me. the ability to put me on my back. it seems my teammates and sets my natural tone

scoring ability and i was sent off function attack i was just having small problems with my turning so. this is why i stay on your feet. here in ballance. until. the senate gets in. which in hindsight was probably a very small time trick. so. there were a few crunching tackle was going into little who'd rather than. possibly michael's abuse and wasn't the most telling to put off the fifteen minutes that felt like an hour my team ended up on top.

oh no. mystery fish. three. points now east news odyssey was almost as a man's and i have one brother most famous still trapped. below. well i think of gold fake images of some. sun bunkers screens but today i've got some mara snow drifts and whites but they don't let a small thing like winter get in the way of around me. back in tallahassee they've built their own place of course there's a little tour mix of some kind today. so many competition many of them before we

have four holes. to repeat. as many fans as we want ok and see who comes out of some sort for the ice cold championship but always been in the good spoils camp when it trips golf but the meal is a keen plan and he promised to give me a few tips. for knowing all and thank you because with great expertise i think this is obviously the. club for this distance you know what she dimitri and. always what door doors agrees on the different in russian. or the winds but knowing the right thing to showers was not my biggest obstacle had a. nice fluid swing. pinkly. it it's. only going to. look that's one.

writes so yeah i think this is what we call being in the rough. yet is it is it it's it is somewhere it is. deep deep in the snowdrifts it's the neil was having no such problems as he hits one sweet shops. very nice. ok so i can understand some a goal for nice weather maybe a bit of business on the links but when you think is a freezing cold. it's about you know minus ten fifty in the gulf. people seem missing goals you know and. so. long to be whole when we get together to socialize and maybe have a dream cast

a. really serious and yes we're late as. we can and these from the studio when to catch up with the competition are starting to get the hang of things properly so headed in the right direction gently. delicately into the white. seas with. the back to haunt. him it's hard to miss the lawyer was really. when the temperature close to minus fifteen celsius consol was too worried about my signature i was ready to finish my round back to the cops. and the ground floor a magnificent club drew. who gloating. that he can only get better than that.

the winter in russia can certainly be brutal but if you're happy to give the outdoors a trauma there's no shortage of things that will keep you entertained through the frosty months whether you say she posts or just relaxing unless your health is to work at the end of the day and stream is not enough for. us. so.

all.
