Extreme must go on!
Sokolniki saw the closing of EXTREMEX. Independence, Moscow’s biggest extreme park event. The last two days of the event were filled with the wakeboarding push-and-pull winch presentation, Red Bull roller team performance at a giant ramp, skateboard and BMX master-classes, trampoline stunt jumps. Dino MC, a famous rap artist, shook the place with his beat. During the five days of the Fixed Event Period, over one million people have visited the front area of Sokolniki Park. The main onslaught was related to the breath-taking freestyle motocross show that featured the legendary pro-riders Hugo Arriazu and Daniel Bodin. Nonetheless, the best is yet to come! Apart from the abovementioned facilities, two huge skate-parks are going to be launched in August, featuring both old and brand-new constructions. Over three thousand square metres will be turned over for operation near the park’s main entrance. Some of the elements will be located under a special shed that would perpetuate the riders' joy well into the rain. Extreme must go on!
