Yesterday Sokolniki saw the most fascinating and breath-taking event in the park’s history. The Festival Square proved to be insufficient to accommodate all freestyle motocross fans who came to savour an unforgettable performance from Europe’s best riders, flooding all surroundings three hours prior to the event. Russia’s coolest pro-riders from FMX13 team (Aleksei Kolesnikov, Kirill Gavrilov, Aleksei Aisin, and Anton Smirnov) together with Hugo Ariazu (Spain) and Daniel Bodin (Sweden) rocked and shocked the place with their most insane motorbike, quad bike, and snowmobile stunts. One of the gems of the show was a simultaneous jump and back flip of a motorcycle and a snowmobile that provoked thunderous applause from the awe-stricken audience. While the riders were taking a break, the fans were entertained by famous hip-hop artists, such as: Slim, Ptakha (Birdie), Byanka. Detsl (Le Truk) headlined the show, singing some of his old hits in unison with the crowds. DJ DaVlad concluded the concert with a mash-up set. On Wednesday, a record number of TV crews were accredited to film EXTREMEX: nineteen cameras from city and federal channels. 
 

All day long Sokolniki was thrilled with various extreme activities: football freestyle, the Moscow Break Dance Battle, the All-Russian Rock-Climbing Cup. The 15^th of June will hit you with rollers' performance on a giant ramp in the Festival Square and with a concert from DJ Dino MC47. The Main Alley features an exposition of extreme photographs of Russia“ top pro-riders from the Red Bull team.
