a great way to explore the park is to do it on wheels. and they could be fit it's also fun to makes it easy to see the large area. and all the necessary protective gear is also provided by the park. bicycles. the average price is around three hundred roubles. around ten dollars not bad pensioners law students get discounts too great when it comes to segues unfortunately just allowed for administration officials to be present at the moment although they do plan to bring them here soon the best way to get around. a segway experience is unlike anything else zipping around one is a truly revolutionary way to travel it really does feel like you're hovering above the ground now i've done this before so i'm pretty confident it's

a great way to see an attraction. just watch out for people. it's a beautiful book and it's the paul observed quite good quality it was like going on . twenty two kilometers today and it's been a great pleasure. makes up a great activity for want to be tolson's james this aerial assault on the park as it's called is the ultimate adrenaline rush a truly thrilling experience forty feet above the ground ok it's time for me to be a big hit i've got my helmet on my brief tutorial how to walk this stuff. right. as i take my first steps here it's obvious i need courage to take on this challenge not for the faint hearted here we

go. the aerial assault can take ten people every hoff an hour and it can take up to around twenty minutes to complete the course if he to get stuck. oh well talk about a good way how does the calories i'm a grown strong guy but i have to admit it's a little scary. as for this i now have to go on a bike on the right have a lot of clay but it's a great example of an activity you can enjoy here in the cold the case went from a fight. with three levels of difficulty this is create fun if not slightly terrifying at the same time a degree of fitness and strength is required to complete the rope bridges tunnels and swings slides. i'm happy to say i'm now at the final

stage here. what's. i live to tell you. i must be up. the colicky has always been famous for its abundance of flowers and gardens the number of flowers in the large and small rose gardens has now reached thousands displaying one hundred different varieties. new pavements terraces shrubs flower beds seating areas just like many areas of the capital the whole plant is undergoing a major facelift and to discuss the past present and future of the park let's meet this week's guest. so tell me your involvement with the park i'm a director with this book and it's about eight months i mean you directed. this way for me this is new and very interesting i want you to the pockets of popular with muscovites today i think it's became history we have to understand

a cave full of terrifying creatures and it was like i could almost touch them. in. the park provides entertainment not only for children kate is for it all to visit his house while there are several areas where people can enjoy dancing in the open after the disco at the rotunda stage as it's called is open in the around on wednesdays weekends and bank holidays no matter what the weather. was going to come here every weekend this is the only place in moscow where pensioners can have a lot of fun and dance many of us can still dance very well sometimes we do some real rock'n'roll division to church and watch you know doing tours in japan and even there they paradoxically. mentioned in the past ten minutes for older people. finally it's not fun and it's not bad there's

a small amazing park located to the west of the park. ok you can't compare it to disneyland but a fifty to one hundred rouble stage ride. it's pretty cheap and good fun for the family comparison to the relaxation of the rest of the. i think. there's no doubt that in the coming design decoration and the quality of that. will rise with competing against the best parks in the world from falcons to thank. is an invigorating and refreshing space to visit and when you choose a brisk. roller blading on the alleyways spinning around in a swing at me here at the park in shorts is a super place to visit. whatever the season. i'll see you again at the same time next week hopefully. on the rest.

that's more than three titles a year and we're proud of how we achieve that goal i'd like to think the whole organization from top to bottom because we've had so much help from all levels i have a feeling things will be great at the school even though my the origin of. michael schumacher has shown he still got the focus on this skill which earned in seven formula one championships others pick the forty three role quickest and qualification for the monaco grand prix but an earlier in this crash pushed him back into a sixth place grid start for sunday hollywood royalty on hand to witness salaries action packed qualification on the fresh prince would have seen schumacher incur a five spot penalty for colliding with williams driver bruno center at the previous race in spain second place more than a history of that punishment the red bull driver now in the best spot possible to claim a second monocle event since twenty ten markers mercedes teammate nicole rosberg was just bumped up to second place with lewis hamilton third club versus vitale

a few answers for the world over fourteen in the second set either with all my group closing out the match six games to two it's the twenty sixth rule second clinic or title of the season perfect timing ahead of tomorrow's french open start . finally we've skydiving jumping on to that list of extreme sports we cannot rupe jumping the concept is simple leap off a bridge and finish by swinging underneath it constitute the top off has more now on the adrenaline filled activity taking russia by storm. it's not the most common site in moscow to witness hundreds of young people flocking to cinema to what you feel other than a hollywood blockbuster but that's what happened when an extreme sports film about guys who turned their hobby into a profession was screened last week came across the board and it's over me rope jumping is not only about the jumps themselves but the more challenging a jump and

a location the more rewards you are and that's my motivation for the film was a very ambitious project it took us two years to shoot it and there was a lot of effort from everyone who took part. in. all that's needed just a rope and a breech high enough to jump from sounds simple and pretty straightforward but the more simple means the more dangerous no wonder the sport is so popular in the country that founded the russian roulette that stunned. the last. road jumping was invented by american man today dan i was a man who tried to beat his fear of falling down so he started to jump with the rope to face his fear unfortunately the founding father died in an accident during

one of his jumps but the sport had invented lives on. despite being invented in the u.s. russia the translators in the sport those in the know here say you just have to trust the bridge the rope and the knot and then take a step into then the trick is to jump so as to swing underneath the bridge. to push . up during the first jumps people just don't realize what happens during the jump they remember taking their first step and then hanging on the rope the more experience you get the more pleasure you get from it. but the fear stays with you it just transforms a little. at first the feelings were extremely sharp the adrenaline was blowing my mind now i'm not getting as much adrenaline as i used to but i can truly admire new locations and value the moment russia is simply not big enough for these dead devils who travel to poland in the french alps to improve their highlight reel the

fast growing sport is also attracting more and more people involved with snowboarding and mountaineering in particular the message clear those needing an adrenaline here will always find a new way to get it from something but are two. things people to do for fun a lot is all your sport whether it's next. well for the. division is the name of the game when you're saving lives we're designing tomorrow's architectural masterpieces laser precision is what matters
