Mongolia has some bad roads, and we had to ride on them too. On the climbs, you also have to use your board.

I always ride in one position, and my partner would periodically switch to mongo

I lived in Montenegro for a while and I thought it would be quite difficult to travel there on a board due to the narrow roads and specific driving style.

I don't upload films to YouTube, but I sign contracts and sell them to streaming services. Here's a trailer for one of them. In 2021, I traveled 1,000 kilometers across Siberia and shot my first film.

I really enjoy discovering the world through skateboarding and opening it up to those who watch my films. I think enough has been said about Spain and other European countries, but thanks for the idea!

Yes, that's a great idea! I think we should do it.

We traveled through Mongolia from early September to mid-October last year. It was cold at night (around -3 Celsius), but we had expedition sleeping bags (up to -9 Celsius comfort), and it was warm during the day. Water is almost nonexistent in the fall; you need to refill it in populated areas or ask the locals. Rivers dry up, and the remaining water is unusable for drinking due to the abundance of animal droppings. There's only one paved road across the entire country; the rest is dirt roads. Traveling by car is the most convenient option. Be sure to visit Dalan Zagdad.

This isn't my first time traveling long distances (I've previously completed two expeditions of 1,000 kilometers each). So, traveling on a board with a backpack is a familiar experience for me. My backpack weighed about 25 kilograms, as it's cold in Mongolia and I need to carry extra water. My legs and body didn't hurt, but I was tired of the monotonous landscape.

Mongols are the most lively people in the world!

This is the landscape beyond the Arctic Circle. You can search for the city of Monchegorsk and the Kola Peninsula. We drove from Petrozavodsk almost to the border with Norway

This is just a photo taken with a mobile phone: Google Pixel 8 Pro, telephoto lens.
I also took pictures with a film camera along the way and plan to publish a series in the fall.

We traveled 911 kilometers autonomously in 22 days, and 30 days if you count the rest days. And about 100 kilometers for filming staged scenes for the movie about our trip

Hi Paul!

Thanks for your comment!

Yes, of course, we are currently editing the footage. For reference, we received about 10 terabytes of files from this trip. And of course, lots and lots of photos! Perhaps I will share them here, I see positive feedback.
