OUTLAW DIARIES III || Wild Wild East
"The unknown is what makes people curious. And nowadays it gets harder
and harder to be a pioneer in this world.“
Patrick "Bengel" Rasche
Rasche explains his mission for the third chapter of the OUTLAW DIARIES series.
He left his comfort zone in search for a place where he could be a
pioneer again.
A wild place, where no bike tire has touched the ground
before.
The east is calling. The Wild Wild East. Welcome to the
wilderness of Kamchatka, Russia.
The first part of the series took place in Germany near Patricks
hometown.
The second one brought him to British Columbia, the mecca of
mountainbiking, following the tracks of all those freeride legends that
inspired his way of riding.
For the third part it was time to seek for
something new.
Kamchatka is a peninsula in the Russian far east.
It’s located in the
Pacific Ocean north of Japan and has a wild coastline with 160 volcanoes
rising from sea level up to 4.700 m. Until 1990 Kamchatka was a
restricted military area that was closed to the public.
For mountain
bikers this part of east Siberia is still no mans land.
Together with
Patrick and his longtime friend and photographer Constantin Fiene, El Flamingo Films
visited the Russian wilderness for two weeks in late September 2017.
The
weather on the peninsula is as rough as the landscape and they had to
learn that nature is the boss in Siberia.
Ever dreamed of heli biking on volcanos with an old Russian army
helicopter?
Here we go.
Join Patrick on his adventure in the land of
fire and ice.
