KAZAN KREMLIN RIDE
In 2019 he was given permission to build a temporary skate park with ramps and jumps in the Kazan Kremlin, which has been a World Heritage Site since 2000, to shoot a BMX freestyle video as part of the Red Bull project Follow Me. The ramps and jumps were specially designed to suit the geometry and 'flow' of the Kremlin's structures. "I still can't believe that we were allowed to build a park inside the Kremlin. It all worked out in a magical way, it was unforgettable. When I saw the park, it was a pleasant surprise." (idolmagazine.ru, 01 Sep 2019)
