General activity - in Winter!Another general winter activity!My everyday abused commuterMy new 28" cross bike for fast XCSome gossip and newsNews, news, news and updates. Some of them are serious ones, and we've got some !CHANGES!: - I am having four XC races this season, check my events/results board!
- I had a very serious knee injury with my BMX, and had a surgery. Currently I am recovering, I have quitted BMX sport (I'm so sorry and sad, that I had to sell my bike), but I am reverting to MTB All mountain - Freeride style. My other styles, like XC and skiing in moguls remains :) This decision was made, that I am really overweight, and this rigid/no suspension style does no good for my joints. I'm looking for some softer style. Also I am reverting from regular 28" city commuting to 28" single speed hardcore, messenger style, commuting :D Thats a cool style, that brings some interesting stuff in your daily commuting routine.
- Following the previous news point, I would like to announce, that I have acquired a brand new FREERIDE MTB! That's a bike from my beloved manufacturer - Kona. It is KONA COILER 2007! See down there.
- I have returned from Erasmus studies in Valencia, Spain, and now I am again at my home, with lots of snow around :) The best place for me is my home. I am currently continueing my studies, and doing winter sports - skiing and even snow cycling (DH, XC)!
- The season just began, but I must spend much time on my studies because term's deadline is approaching...
- Currently adding more content to make my site enjoyable.

Q&A - 5 things about me!
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
Yes! I train some 5 days a week. All those five sessions are not constant and are changing. One day I do one activity, next day - another. My training consists of: a) Riding MTB bike in XC fashion; b) Riding MTB bike in freeride - urban fashion; c) Riding Road (fitness) bike; d) Commuting every day with one or another bike; e) Going to gym and lifting weights; f) Running in even terrain or track.
What has been your most embarrassing moment?
A parting with my best friend, because of our changing lifestyles, girls and so on.
Why do you like this sport?
Because it is fun and is good for my health (except traumas)! It makes me busy and this keeps me away from hanging in the streets for no reason, making crimes, smoking, using drugs and so on.
Describe your style...
I will give some definitions for this question: busy, extreme, original, eager for knowledge, artistic.
Employment / Experience Summary
Currently I am a student of architecture, and work periodically at local bike shop. Hahaha.. like in C.V.
My experience is:
1) Architectural work. Designing, drawing by hand or computer (Autocad, Archicad, 3DsMax, Revit Architecture, Sketchup). Building models.
2) Graphic design. Also by hand (drawing, painting, other techniques) and by computer (Adobe Photoshop, CorelDraw, CorelPainter).
3) Basic computer knowledge (MS Windows, MS Office, basic programming).
4) Perfect knowledge on english language. Some knowledge in Russian, Polish and Spanish languages.
5) Experience in working in agriculture.
6) High experience in selling and repairing bikes. I can repair probably everything on the bike, I can true wheels, assemble them from separate parts and adjust everything. I can do this on most bike types. Also I am knowledgeable in bikes' industry, novelties among parts and accessories.
I also have a driving license for light vehicles and I own a car.
Q&A - Self Interview
What are your stats dude?
Height - 185 (6'2"). Weight - 108kg (238lb). Folks, I lost 26kg (57lb) because of bikes! I was afraid to break them, so I had to work.. So you see, that they're not only fun, but give benefits! Shoe size - 46 European or 12 US. I have some 110cm over chest, 100cm over belly, 105cm over hips, 40cm over biceps and 70cm over tights.. Also I possess grey eyes, long brownish-grey hair and ginger beard.
Music? Everyone listen to music!
70's and 80's mostly. I am a sworn fan of New Wave (Depeche Mode, Talk Talk...), and Progressive Rock (Yes, Genesis, !!Pink Floyd!!...) and some common Rock (Fleetwood Mac, Queen...). Moreover I listen to some pop, some disco from that period, but these are minorities.
Man, you have so many hobbies and interests. How do you manage to cope with them all?
Well, I sometimes don't manage... but I try. I try to give all of my hobbies and interests at least some minutes :)
Oi lad, I know you love video games? And what would they be?
Mmm... MANY! Mostly flight and warfare simulators. Some racing, RPG and strategy. My favourite games are Microsoft Flight Simulator series, Operation Flashpoint, Battlefield series, GTA series, World of Warcraft and offcourse Matt Hoffmann's Pro BMX :D!
What are you expecting to be in the future?
Ohh.. I wanted to be a pilot. Most probably a test pilot, but I couldn't get in to the Aviation University because of overweight and some heart problems. The health must be perfect there. So now I am an artist - an architect. I am currently studying this speciality at university and I am expecting to be one sooner or later :D
How you managed to loose that weight?
Just determination for constant training and proper nutrition, outrageous wish to own a BMX and good physical trainer (see his photo in my gallery) :)
What animals do you like, and why?
I love big and small cats, because they are soft, warm and sweet. And I love all kinds of birds! Because they can sing charmingly and lay eggs, which have many proteins for building my muscle. I also like bears because of their size and power. Bears are ideals for me. And.. I am not a very big fan of dogs.
So what pets do you own?
Two little budgerigars. A couple. And partially a ginger and awesome cat. Partially, because he's living not with me, but with my grandmother. I always play with that cat, when visiting grandma.
Whats your favourite holiday in year?
Yarr laddies, I call it talk-like-a-pirate day! Yarrrgh-ho-ho-ho.
Whit's the name of yer lass?
No lass currently lads. I love black, long and straight haired girls. But overall, it depends!
What's your favourite beverage?
Distilled water
What's your favourite food?
Cooked chicken
