Winter Stunts on Studs

Over the New Year holidays we had time to test studded tires and film a video. Alexander Andreev backed the idea! For the shoot we found a Soviet quilted jacket and a soldier's ushanka hat to create the image of a Russian guy on a village pond in a frosty winter. Boryan donated a bike for the experiment. The tires were suitable only for clean ice. The day before the shoot we cleared the track well. We didn't check the weather forecast, but we should have! A month's worth of snow fell overnight. In the morning we had to clear everything again. We couldn't do it properly: we were in a hurry, and it was snowing.

As a result, Sanya had to spend a long time packing down the snow, the tires got clogged, and we couldn't keep up with the falling snow. Nevertheless, a few tricks worked out, and one turned out epic: a jump off a footbridge one and a half meters high! Overall we had a great time: got some fresh air, did some shoveling and filmed a decent video. In terms of wear the tires performed excellently. After a whole day of riding, lots of drifts and burnouts (we made a dozen holes) not a single stud came off or got blunt. Clearly the set isn't single-use! But this kind of studding works only on ice; on snow the studs clog quickly.

Enjoy the video and have a great mood!
