UKRAINE BMX DAY - 'RIDE TO GLORY'

Kyiv, Ukraine

2 Oct 2024

Filmed by @mike_lyadetskiy , @tomikbmx , and @escalens.films / Edited by @alvaro_chavarria_

Sometimes amidst the chaos and misery of war come moments of hope, and the Ride To Glory jam that the Kyiv, Ukraine locals threw for BMX Day was just that. So much respect to the scene out there for supporting each other and making this day happen despite their circumstances. 

"Despite the fact that 11 days before Kyiv was attacked, we were able to celebrate the best BMX day in all of Eastern Europe, because despite the few resources, the jam managed to attract riders who were displaced by the war or guys from Kharkiv and Donetsk. 

This jam was created by evgeny @bgnnko.e in collaboration with @tomikbmx , we had as narrators Arthur @ex_arttt and Ivan @1cheeezzz who were in charge of getting sponsorships and all the equipment of speakers and microphones for the narration of the event, as host of the game of bike and coordinator we had bogdan @karozix, in the direction and production of the video we had Misha @mike_lyadetskiy as main filmmaker and director, in secondary camera Sergei @tomikbmx and Marko @escalens.films and the one in charge of the editing was me @alvaro_chavarria_.
