Bruno Hoffmann, Kilian Roth and Mo Nussbaumer teamed up with Rich Forne and Merlin Czarnulla for a trip to Athens, Greece in February. For this video they wanted to make something different than the usual BMX street video and tried to ride the abandoned canoe track from the 2004 Olympic Games. After lying deserted for many years they have breathed some new life into the venue.

Mo: "Filming this video turned out to be quite challenging and resulted in a week long game of cat and mouse with the local security guards. Getting busted within the first hour of our first day we had to get creative to pursue our goal of riding and filming at the Olympic venue. We ended up having one of us sitting outside the fenced venue and up the road to look out for security to warn the others on the inside.

As the Security cars just drove alongside the canoe track we were able to warn the ones riding and filming with a quick phone call so they could hide until the security car had left again.

Looking back at it now we are super happy and proud with the outcome of the project as it was super challenging for every single one of us.

Also a huge shout out to Red Bull Germany for trusting us with this one and the help to make things like this happen in the first place."
