Russian BMX Daredevil Bombs Walls and Roofs of Ancient Kazan Kremlin

Youtube / Red Bull Bike

Russian star BMX rider Irek Rezaev raced on Tuesday, August 20, over the roofs and walls of ancient Kazan Kremlin.

To make it possible Rizaev built a skate park which blended in with the historical towers and churches.

Red Bull team said in a statement that the preparation video had taken over a year, which included obtaining necessary restrictions and figuring out the riding line Rizaev took.

In 2000 Kazan Kremlin was included in World Heritage Site list by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
