We were very lucky to had an opportunity to ride inside the accumulation pool before it fills with water!
Surface is very smooth hydroisolation coating, so perfect for riding.
That complex is reeeeeally huge.
More links about that power station: che avce, seng, čhe avce photos
There was a fence to restricted area, we had to climb over.
"It was really unexplanably cool. It's a strange feeling to ride, 'cause you are aware that your 'behind bars' (2m fence allround), but at the same time you feel free, 'cause it's so big."
And when you are inside that "velodrome" you feel really small, those walls are huuuge:
There's a little pool inside with its own beach:
rogmaraton wheelieing that beach:
Doing followcam (yes, movie comming soon)
Me clibing up a banking, its scary steep in real life.
...going down!!!
romantic ride =)
There's a nice kicker near the pool:

It is really an insane spot. I have to get there to try the surface a bit..
Wow!!
What's the ground made of? Earth, sand or concrete? That looks amazingly huge!
jawdropper!
That place is unbelievable, the images look surreal, can't wait to see the movie!

From Milano Fixed to rogmaraton:
The post on Milano Fixed is titled "Ciclisti su Marte" (cyclists on Mars) because the location seems Mars surface.
"Fascisti su Marte" (Fascists on Mars) is an italian satiryc/comic movie against fascism and fascists and tell a ridiculous story about a Mars invasion by fascists.
So the joke was about the title of the post (ciclisti su Marte) but nothing related with fascists and you. Due the joke the autor added the tag with the title of the movie. I agree with you, it's not an happy joke.
Your italian is perfect and Fascisti su Marte is a great movie:

I'm not a member of Milano Fixed.
Cheers
Ciao
FIX
I'm sorry for my outburst on Milanofixed, but I didn't know about the moovie and so I didn't understand the joke. My bad.
Thank you for enlightening me about the subject and I really need to see that film 'cause I like italian comic films.
That's plain crazy!! Thanks for a new wallpaper!!
Congrats!
How long till the place is flooded?
"Začetek poskusnega obratovanja elektrarne, katere naložba je vredna 115 milijonov evrov, pričakujejo v juliju. V celoti pa naj bi se HE Avče v elektro distribucijsko omrežje vključila jeseni. Gradbena dela na območju zgornjega bazena so zaključena,..."
According to this it will be tested in July. In the fall it should be fully operational.
So next time I am coming too with this: http://www.tekne.info/en/images/Water-Bikes-Pedal_boats-Pad.jpg
I belive it has fixed gear.
i suppose riding a fixie and doin a fakie in a skatepark is cool too..... place is awesome, but who the fuck cares your on a fixie. 2 feet of air!!! wow i can bunny hop that high on my bmx bike. nothing is stupider then fixie riders glorifying "stunts" riding down a hill real fast! sick man
Such an awesome spot, and you guys go and make it look gay with your stupid fixed gears.
I like the sequence of the ten inch air and the suspense of not knowing if you actually landed.
Velodrome of the Gods!
Haters- different strokes for different folks. If these guys didn't enjoy the moment, who would have?
Is masturbation better than sex? Sometimes; who am I to judge?
Respect all around.
hip hipper hipster alert.
but the big hole look interesting.
@ fbmrider31390 "....but who the fuck cares your on a fixie..." Obviously you do! You can do it on BMX, I can do it on a commuter bike, someone else may be able to do it with a penny farthing, why not? Would you be embraced?
Ok, let's put it this way. You could ride it on a tricycle and have a blast. A unicycle even.
Pictures of you doing it on either of those are going to look completely ridiculous. Unless it's a freewheeling unicycle going fast.
They took pictures, the pictures look retarded, people brought that fact up, end of story.
You are ridiculous! It is a fixed gear blog, so let's put it this way: Retarded is someone who is visiting a gay porn sites and bitch about them being gay...
It would sure be real fun with BMX there, but we had fixed gear bikes with us, because it looked like velodrome from pictures:)
Some people were riding motorbikes there, as you can see from skidmarks.
Ryan, whine to whoever put the link up that got you here. We don't really care for your approval, but maybe that person does.
Cheers.
that would be so awesome if it wasn't a bunch of tools on fixed gears. you are the nascar of the cycling world.
Talk about being a tool.. I think hating on the internet is the definition..
to ryan: That sequence ended very sadly for me. I didn't manage to land my bike, I fell from my ten inch air and I died.
I am now writing this comment from Fixed gear heaven.
he,he
wasn't that place fg heaven already? :D
isn't fixed gear heaven a velodrome, where it originated? not a ramp.
Jeremy. Look at the pictures and ask yourself what it really looks most like, a ramp or a velodrome and if you come to the conclusion that it most of all looks like a ramp, please tell me where I can find those ramps.
Cheers,
this looks SO cool. too bad these dudes are gay as the day is long!
This is so douchey. Get a real bike. Hipster slime shit
Anon, I'm sorry things are rough for you right now, but in the end I'm sure you'll sort out both a good spot and your sexuality.
Vicdemille,
Who the fuck are you and what the fuck do you know about our bikes?
Cheers,
All these haters must really like the photos, since they got the bandwidth exceeded..
losers! ha ha!
now I'm going to go search out other things that I don't like and make fun of those people too!
I win! I'm soooooo cool, and have so much fun doing my cool guy things, that I barely have enough time to read blogs about stuff I don't even like.
http://hkfixed.blogspot.com/2009/06/address-of-this-place.html
I'm all for fixed wheel as long as the riders who run without brakes keep them off the street. These shots are great, this looks like an amazing place to ride fixed, or anything for that matter. I wouldn't mind bringing a few bikes and a couple skateboards along with me for that.
That would be fun on a longboard also. beautiful panoramas. Nice work.
Hey
We'd really like to use some of these shots in the next issue of Fixed Mag, I can't find a contact button - could you please get in touch with me via the www.fixed-mag.com site?
Thanks
Ian

we have it milano too!
Wow, this is a rider's dream. Please, I want to see the video!
We have problems with photo hosting, does anybody knows some good free site for unlimited bandwidth hosting, or is someone willing to donate some server space for hosting our images?
thanks
Hermoso velódromo!
c'mon guys, where's that video??...
awesome ride...
Can't wait for the video !
fixed gear is for wimps and communists. try it on a bmx.
Dear Anonymous, I have ridden BMX when I was infant and lived in Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
Dear anonymous, ILL RIDE MY BMX BIKE ALL OVER YOUR FACE! lol
Where's that video?
I'm so confused, why don't people like fixed gear bikes?
I know nothing about biking really, but I don't see why anyone would hate people just because they ride a bike with fixed gears. It seems childish and unjustified.
How cool is that! Awesome, let me know, when it is empty again...
Mmm BMX, fun. Fixed gear bicycle... just as fun. The two are almost IDENTICAL. You can do any trick on a bmx that you can do on a fixed gear. We pedal backwards, you guys scuff. we bar spin, you bar spin. We manual and endo just like anyone else. We just have to keep pedaling. To us its more fun. Why don't you give it a try? Your knees will thank you! And to you guy, that must have been the coolest ride ever! I will have to find some dried up reservoirs around California this summer and there are plenty thanks to global warming.
cool!
meget interessant, tak
this looks SO cool. too bad these dudes are gay as the day is long!
