Moscow Stunt Session 2021

The only stunt event in Russia in 2021 took place in Moscow at the end of August. Nikita (Pakus) Pokusay (@pakus4212) decided to organize a get-together with contests and freestyle at the Mytishchi site. Local riders and our team joined in, and the result was a cool event with prizes and a positive atmosphere. We didn't expect to see such a big number of participants and spectators, so there were no metal fences and we were later criticized on YouTube for not having them.

We decided not to publish the contests (Drift Limbo, Wheelie Race and Sick Trick) in separate videos, because they are almost the same as in previous years, and the winners are also the same. Dmitry Petrov (@dima_stunt) won the wheelie race the second year in a row. He is probably the fastest wheelie rider in Russia among those who don't use power circles to go around the barrel. Nikolay Domrachev (@nikolay.domrachev), who rides on the most beautiful CBR600F4i, crashed spectacularly, sending his bike flying in pursuit of Zitkhov. In drift limbo, it was pure luck: Pakus made a flimsy bar that kept breaking. We tried to fix it with duct tape and hanging bottles at the edges. As a result, we witnessed several picturesque falls, and the most experienced Mityai won.

The most interesting part was the three-minute competition runs. Two girls were competing: Daria Kharchenko (@stuntgirl.dasha) and Tatyana Titova (@t_stuntlove), but neither of them could show their best. This was probably due to their lack of competition experience. But in general the freestyles were good. Dasha was in the process of recovering her arm after a fracture and surgery, so she made mistakes. Anyway, we decided to upload her run to support her. We hope she fully recovers over the winter and is 100% ready for the 2022 season. Dasha is one of the few girls who trains regularly and does semi-professional and professional stunts.

The first and second places were taken by riders from Oryol: Alexander Chistov (@alexanderchistov) and Vladimir Kutikov. The guys showed quite exciting programs with a couple of great stunts. Alexander showed real competitive stunt riding. His performance was very smooth and was appreciated by both the audience and the judges. Pavel Choporov (@zithov_hhf) had the most stylish freestyle and the most packed flow, but it took him three attempts to do a power eight, so there wasn't enough time for the whole program.

Grigory Taldykin's (@unicorn_hhf) freestyle is fully uploaded to our YouTube channel. He performed dynamically and was the only one who showed several professional stunts in one ride: a coaster with a jump, a unicycle, a bunny 180 with a fake, wide power circles, no-hands. But he forgot to include drifting and acrobatics, so he didn't make the podium.
