Формат путешествия-Супер!👍💪
Wow!
best of all time..
Such a short film for such an epic adventure. To me it was a too much impressions in too little time – why such a pace?
So ein abenteuer, so viel schweiss, kalte auf dem bike, da ist jede kurve im schnee doppelt verdient 😅😅Ubrigens das Albona tal, sicher nicht mehr lang ein secret spot nach diesem film. Sehr grosser respekt 👍👍
What's the title of last song???

Geil
INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you for living this incredible journey and sharing it!
You have seen so much, but in fact there is still a lot to see in the Balkans. You should have skied more in Montenegro and Bosnia. There are so many mountains in the Balkans for freeride skiing, and I know that not everything can fit in one video.
Richtig geil Jungs !
That was epic! I'm from Thessaloniki and I live in Munich. I miss the wilderness of home. Seeing footage from Thessaloniki and Olympus, and also listening to the Greek song at end left me with a very nostalgic taste.
The family that moved from Germany to the Albanian mountains (Valbona) (@20:55) really knew what they were doing!
Beautiful adventure and interesting insights to the balkan countries! Thanks!
where do you leave the bikes when you go hiking?
Wow! Meeega Reise. Mega Typen! Alles Gute Euch!
Great adventure, it's a relief to see that we still have some "wild" places here in Europe
Kennt jemand den Musiktitel am Ende?
Really interesting film and well filmed, really curious about 1 behind the scene of the film (was there a camera crew, how do they sleep and follow you, how do you do if you were in autonomy for the batteries etc…) 🙂
Ja, vielleicht gute Zeit. Aber einfach schrecklich anzusehen, dieses "Werbevideo" voll von triefenden Klischees, auweia.
Kaum zu ertragen …😖
Impressive trip. Thanks.
It is amazing that the athletes can skip from a high mountain in such a dangerous slope. This is a stunning video worthy watching.
Hammergeil, und ganz schön verrückt. Mega Leistung, Gratuliere Euch zu dem Projekt🎿🚲😊👌
