recently, my friend and bmx flatlander julia preuss from berlin, germany, came to visit vienna. here's what she has to say about her stay in the austrian capital.

When the daily routine is getting bored and riding starts to annoy you, a trip will mostly help against those frustrating moments. So without wasting my thoughts, I booked a trip to Vienna immediatly. The 23rd October was the day to get ready.
Taking my bike apart and puting it into a huge bag was such a good feeling that i nearly forgot my pedals on the microwave.
After a stressful RER trip and a horibble flight, I arrived at the Vienna airport, where Stephi, founder of „mizzi.“, picked me up. On the next day she took me to „Wien Messe“ where we met Irina for a little session. Too bad that the ground was messed up with stones and leaves, so the session didnt last that long, so we went for a coffee and a poker night.
With a lil hangover, Irina and me went back to the same spot the other day and needed to clean it first. But with a lil hand broom it was kinda impossible. Happily there was this guy driving around with his cleaning car and borrowed me a big broom. After 10 minutes the ground was free from annoying things and we started with a lil jam.
2 hours later, Stephi joined and we started to take some footage of my riding. Setting me under pressure is such a good thing for learning new tricks. So after 20 minutes a new little combo was dialed and I was totally stoked but somehow I realised that after 5 hours.
With more videos and photos, we wanted to take some more footage at a totally awesome spot. Even a barrier wouldnt stop me from the ultimate picture. After taking off that sucker, a security guy came, yelled around and without saying anything we left as fast as we could. Being a little tired, the day ended with some hardcore sightseeing, that continued the next day. Around 5 p.m. I was back at the airport where I had to say goodbye to Stephi who took me back there. Back in Paris the daily routine started again, but one thing is clear: Travelling with the bike is just one of so many great things about that sport.
A BIG thanks to Stephi and Irina, who showed me around, letting me stay with them and haveing a real good time there! This was definitely not my last trip to Vienna!
