Red Bull X-Fighters tour
I finally got some time to gather few pics from the Red Bull X-Fighters tour that we did recently. We really had a blast.
5 of us took Zion van and Zion mobile jumpbox and did shows along with FMX riders in 4 cities : Belgrade, Zagreb, Sarajevo and Maribor. Nothing but fun for whole
10 days. Laughed so hard that I still don't believe it, hehe. Here are few photos so you can see a little piece of our tour.

New Aki video - Focus test ride
I mentioned before that Aki also joined Sam and Effraim to help in this testing phase of Focus frame. So here is a video of Aki riding his new bike. I really loved it, Aki's
beautiful riding just became even more beautiful.
Enjoy it :

The sexiest bike I ever had
I just assembled my bike with my new Focus frame prototype and the easiest way I can describe the feeling when I finished it is : I'm horny !!!
This is definitely the sexiest bike I ever had. That blue color is amazing and with new polished Worldwide stem and sprocket it just looks fucking amazing. But off course its
raining at the moment so I have to wait for rain to stop so I can ride it.

Aki's new bike
Aki just received a package with his new Focus frame and Zion parts and he built up a beautiful bike. I just love the combination of this
silver Focus prototype frame and black Zion Worldwide stem and P.M.S. sprocket.
It is great to have Aki on Focus frame in this testing phase cause I want to give it a really hard time by various riders to get as much feedback as possible and in the
end produce a perfect frame. At this point we got 3 amazing riders testing it, Sam (off course) with amazing super hard riding, Effraim with his 20 year old bag of tricks and
Aki with his backwards riding that really gives hell to any frame he rides....And all this 3 are tall "can't call them skiny" guys so the rider weight factor is also
covered in this testing phase, hehehe.
Also, the container with all new Zion completes and parts arrived to my office in Croatia yesterday, along with that 4th Focus frame that I will put on my bike. But with
my level of riding and time I can spend on my bike lately I can't even say I'm part of a testing phase. And also you can say that at the moment my weight is close to a
female supermodel, so I can't even get close to abusing it.

Now and then....hehe
You just have to smile when you find something like this. Predrag Vučković, a photographer from Belgrade that made all those Red Bull profile pics for
Jura, also use to be a famous old school bmx rider in Serbia back in the days.
One of photos that he took with Jura was this tree ride and then he
found an 18 year old photo of himself doing the same trick on that same spot, hahaha. So cool to see this.

Roadtrip report
Hey, we got back home for the roadtrip !! It was really great, had perfect weather for almost whole week, drove 1800 km, rode street, park, dirt, flatland....and laughed so hard
that it still hurts, hehehe.
Trip started in Zagreb whrere the crew got together and we speny the whole first day riding street and warming up for the week. At the sunset we climbed to a top of a building
and filmed the cover shot for the DVD, plus intros and interviews with the crew.
Next day it was time for Varazdin, a small city on the north of Croatia. It has a cool little skate plaza and a mini ramp, so we had a half day session there before we left for
Vienna.
In Vienna we went to the indoor park of our friend Senad Grosic and had a late night indoor session in that amazing place. We have been coming to this place many times in past
years, usually during winter for practice, cause it has a foam pit and a resi-box and resi-spine. All you need for learning new tricks for next season. Thanks to AFT crew for
letting us stay there. In the morning Senad showed us this huge cement park in Vienna that was just amazing. Got there early in the morning so it was empty and we had the whole
park to ourselves. Nice sunny day and there were also benches and a table in the shade so just didn't want to leave. Later in the afternoon we also visited local dirt jumps
and had a great session there.
On the fourth day we arrived in Osijek skatepark. 4 out of 9 guys on the trip are from Osijek so they had a chance to show what they can do on home turf. As every other night
we closed the day with few too many beers. Jura fell and hurt his knee during riding that day and I fell and thrashed my back while trying to do a drunk manual on my bike with
Aco standing on my back pegs with his flat-tire bike in his hands. Bad idea, but a lot of fun, hehe.
Last stop of our trip was Belgrade where we spent the whole Friday afternoon in the local skatepark, before rain chased us away. Next morning park was flooded from all the rain
from night before so we just went on a street mission. So many great spot to ride there, but it was the last day and half of the crew was already injured. We still managed
to make some cool footage.
To end this whole trip Sonic and I had a great flatland session with locals on a really cool spot in the bottom of Belgrade castle. Amazing vibe on that spot, can't wait to
come back. Others joined us just before sun went down and we closed this whole trip with few more beers and Aco playin a guitar....
All in all, an amazing 6 days and it will take me at least that more to get some sleep and recover the lost energy, hehe. Now we have to work on the video and it will take some
time, so for now enjoy the photos.
