Travis, is that you?

[ENG]

"Travis, is that you?" she said.

It's been four years.

The story of two people

Deeply in love

Their fall

And one of the most dramatic scenes ever

Is that you, Travis?

Έλλη, να ένα ντουκάτι [ENG]

4:30 A.M.

the fields rattle

with red birds;

it is 4:30 in

the morning,

it is always

4:30 in the morning,

and I listen for

my friends:

the garbagemen

and the thieves,

and cats dreaming

red birds

and red birds dreaming

worms,

and worms dreaming

along the bones of

my love,

and I cannot sleep,

and soon morning will come,

the workers will rise,

and they will look for me

at the docks,

and they will say,

"he is drunk again,"

but I will be asleep,

finally,

among the bottles and

sunlight,

all darkness gone,

my arms spread like

a cross,

the red birds

flying,

roses opening in the smoke,

and

like something stabbed and

healing,

pages through a bad novel,

a smile upon

my idiot's face

Charles Bukowski

[GRE] Ένα και το αυτό. Και δεν μιλώ για τον αναβάτη, άσχετο, ούτε για την προσπάθεια λεσχών και λοιπών, επίσης άσχετο. Δείτε όμως άποψη, χρώματα, πώς μπαίνουν οι χορηγοί... Ο πρώτος αγώνας του Ισπανικού και του Ελληνικού πρωταθλήματος enduro για το 2011.

Check this out

[ENG] See this button on the right? Thought it would be a nice idea to post some piece of my work, by uploading the pdf files of the printed articles. This time it's an interview I got from crazy guy Antoine Meo. It was back in October 2008, Antoine was just in his first full year in the World Enduro Championship, but had already made clear that he was there to win. So he did, becoming World Champion two years later, giving the chance to the Husqvarna people to celebrate a World title seven years after their last title.

[GRE] Βλέπετε το κουμπί στα δεξιά; Σκέφτηκα πως θα 'ταν μια καλή ιδέα να ποστάρω δείγματα της δουλειάς μου, ανεβάζοντας τα αρχεία σε μορφή pdf από τα τυπωμένα στο περιοδικό άρθρα. Αυτή τη φορά είναι μια συνέντευξη που πήρα από τον ημίτρελο Antoine Meo, τον Οκτώβρη του 2008. Αν και μόλις στον πρώτο χρόνο του στο παγκόσμιο πρωτάθλημα Enduro, ο Antoine είχε ήδη ξεκαθαρίσει πως είχε έρθει για να κερδίσει. Όπως κι έκανε, δύο χρόνια μετά, κερδίζοντας τον τίτλο του παγκόσμιου πρωταθλητή και χαρίζοντας τον τίτλο στην Husqvarna μετά από εφτά χρόνια απραξίας.

Upon special request

[ENG] So I'm opening this envelope, and what do I find inside? The official Red Bull Romaniacs 2010 DVD, on my doorstep, posted to me free of charge by the XVenture guys (thanks!). With a few screenshots of each and every rider that made it through the four-day rainy adventure. And in there, somewhere, just a few seconds of me trying to cope with the tons of mud found on the Carpathian mountains. I remember wearing this shitty, 5-euro worth, red and black soaking raincoat all day long, till I started getting real pain in my wrists. Being so tight there, it had started scratching my skin, but I was so anxious not to loose time, that I almost had no time to do something about that. Finally, at a checkpoint, got my swiss-army knife out of the bag and gave it a nice and clean cut on the wrists part. Never bothered me again…

Up and down the hill

[ENG] Boy, that was exhausting! I decided to cycle all the way up Imitos' mountain, through asphalt, then follow a famous but gruelling DH single-track called "10", on the way down. It's almost eleven kilometers on the way up, with a pretty descent uphill incline. It took me about an hour and a half to reach the top and almost twenty minutes to ride down, some schratches on the bicycle's frame from hitting rocks included. Temperatures reaching 3°C, icy-cold wind blowing too.
