FMX Show at Vasilyevsky Descent 2012

An FMX show supporting an energy drink took place at Vasilyevsky Descent in Moscow. We were primarily interested in the jumps by world-class riders and the stunt show by the PRT team, which performed in full. The show lasted all day and was split into three identical sessions specifically to keep the audience turning over and avoid big crowds. Overall the event had an extreme character: besides the motorcyclists, parkour artists and cheerleaders performed. The jumps were very cool. The confidence with which the athletes did the tricks was striking. Several times it seemed the rider was about to crash, but everything was under control. Backflips look especially spectacular. Of course, things like that should be filmed from a tower to be level with the flying motorcycle. Shots from below don't convey the full beauty of the moment, but it's better than nothing. We filmed as best we could, and a few shots turned out well.

The PRT team show was also good. Marat was injured, but Yurets and Valera made up for it with their dedication. Judging by the audience's reaction, people like drifts and burning rubber on the rev limiter the most. Yura's very difficult circle wheelies drew less interest, although they are harder elements. In short, the louder and smokier, the cooler from the point of view of someone far from motorcycles. The cheerleader show amused everyone because the girls were cute, although I can't even say what exactly they were doing. The parkour artists were also enjoyable, although it was much more interesting to watch their tricks «backstage», where they did cooler stuff.

That's about it. An interesting show, especially considering the good organization and free entry!
