LOST IN ST PETE: THE WEEK OF RUSSIAN ROULLETE

Oct 202016

Those who are a bit familiar with the central European weather during summer would know that August is usually the warmest month of the year. Keeping this in mind, we were all excited to go on another „LOST IN“ adventure, this time heading to the second biggest city of Russia; St Petersburg. Most of us haven`t been to Russia before, so we couldn`t wait to see what we had in store. St.Petersburg is supposed to be the most beautiful city and a symbol of Russian pride, but did we share the same opinion after our one week stay?

The first shock comes right away on the way from the airport, as you enter downtown, the streets are absolutely stacked with cars. Traffic on every single street, so many cars all you can do is just wait. Then came the GREAT news- our guide pointed out that it basically rains all the time in St.Petersburg. We checked the weather forecast and the next week showed straight rain. Perfect. We weren’t sure which was better at that point: the waiting, or the rain.

But the riding completely changes the game... there are some serious highlights in St Pete. I have to mention the huge plaza with the Stalin statue at Moskovskiy prospekt street. This marble kingdom is situated pretty far from downtown, but believe me, it is worth the pedalling, as there are all kinds of spots; including banks, straight ledges, down ledges, a big set of stairs and a load of other stuff to ride.

Despite the bullets we dodged with the weather and the traffic, It was one hell of a week, which the whole crew will remember forever. St.Petersburg is definitely an interesting place full of friendly people and after a couple of glasses at one of the local bars you will easily end up talking til the early morning. Also, there is a strong BMX community that won`t let you down so make sure you hit someone up to show you around before coming over.
