Motul Stunt Championship in Sochi

The final stage of the Russian Stunt Riding Championship took place in late autumn in Sochi. By this time, the season is coming to an end, tourists are leaving, and the weather is excellent for some stunt riding. The champion of Russia was chosen based on the results of three stages, so the first and second places were already known: Foma Kalinin and Denis Rybalko. The main battle was for third place, between Nikita Pokusay and Andrei Rakshin. In addition, the Infamous Team arrived in Sochi from Poland, which increased the competition level.

Nothing surprising happened. Foma rode qualifying perfectly and had a good final, which allowed him to take first place. Denka rode consistently throughout the tournament and confidently took second place. Of all the contenders, the most successful was Danila Zhelanov, who did not make any serious mistakes in the final, and took third place. In the duel for third place in the season standings, Andrei Rakshin won with a great final run.

We asked the riders to tell us about their stuntbikes and favourite stunts during the breaks:

Late autumn in Sochi is the perfect time to see high-level stunt riding. Many experienced riders come here not only to participate in the championship but also to get together and have some fun. By the end of the season, everyone is in good shape: they practice street kills, train on palm trees and have a good time.
