VIDEO: #throwbackthursday 2005 - Kionia to Profitis Elias trail

Major throwback from my friend Marios - the shredder - Selipas who digitized a video from 2005, riding the majestic Kionia to Profitis Elias trail!!

No GoPros back then so to film his phatass we were using his fully custom creation: a Sanyo handheld camcorder, connected by wires hanging all over the place to a surveillance camera strapped as good as possible to our helmet! 

The video features the following extinct icons of mountainbiking:

  • 26inch full suspension bikes (Cannondale Jeckyl and Giant XTC NRS),
  • bar ends,
  • gripshifts,
  • mountainbikers in lycra
  • saddles to the sky (or in the groin),
  • pornstar looks,
  • 2-inch Michelin green Wildgreeper tyres,
  • the unpaved dirtroad to Kionia
  • and the Kionia to Prifitis Elias trail in immaculate condition (#peftzin)!

Random bike stuff in Cyprus... until they
are not random anymore!
