a biker whom Clark called Stepanych (one of the leaders

bad, but the general content is something like this: "...After
events of this kind held locally, BlackSmith
decided to make a big party in order to support the South, to support

our history...", etc.                                         


     But here is the first competition!  According to tradition, the review began
the best bike and chopper. Here I will pause in more detail, taking into account
a hasty hand, eager to describe everything.  Indeed,
there was something to see!  By the way, if anyone thinks that bikers
are only in the city, he is deeply mistaken! Surprisingly
fact!  There were a lot of people from the surrounding villages and judging by
appearance, serious bikers. As for geography: there were people
from almost anywhere in the south of Russia: there were people from
Rostov-on-Don, from Tamahu, even from the Stavropol region. Clark
as always in his repertoire, he made the following joke: “There is
Is anyone here from the village of Starominskaya?  No?  So, there is

work, because The boundaries of the motorcycle and part of the car are absolutely invisible
- everything seems to be one whole! This miracle is decorated with huge headlights,
wheels from the car and our Russian flag, proudly waving on
wind!   This is cool!!!   By the way, the owner's name was "Baby"
(a huge fellow), and the name of this miracle of motorcycle technology:
"Brick Monster" - simple and modest... First place went to
of course, "Baby".                                           

 Next competition.  The most traditional of the traditional,
held all over the world, called "sausage".  Its essence
is as follows:a structure represented from
itself a kind of gate: a long stick horizontally,
resting on two left and right vertically; to horizontal
a boiled sausage, peeled, is tied to a stick with a string
half and dipped in mustard. Let's not say what
This sausage looks like... Couple's task (biker and his girlfriend)
is that the girl rider at the time of passage
motorcycle past this building skillfully bit off a piece of sausage,
which is very difficult to do, believe me!  A lot of times
the contestants failed: often the rider was to blame,
trying to make a “throw” too late or not too late
reaching for the sausage, and sometimes the biker was to blame for not being on time
braked his motorcycle. Faces were stained with mustard, desired
victory was close, it seemed just a little bit later and victory was in your pocket,
but that was not the case! Quite a long time passed until finally
they didn’t lower the sausage lower and one of the bikers finally
I took a bite of the unfortunate sausage!                                   

     So the second competition, the purpose of which
was the following: the biker’s girlfriend is given a condom,
filled with water;  the task is to ensure that before
how to get through the above "gate", the girl must
throw through these gatescondom, a biker going on
at full speed on his “iron horse” he must catch with his hand
thrown over the "gondon" and not spilling the water, moreover, holding on
in the saddle.  A very difficult competition!  I would even say one of
the most difficult!  Here everything became clear much faster. Very
The playful couple coped with the task quite deftly under the general
public pleasure.  They have rightfully received the title of the best in
this nomination!                                                 

     After some time, while the crowd was calming down, Clark
pushed a funny joke, although it had lost its relevance,
because  was told by him at the last Bike Show, but nevertheless,
quite funny.                                                 

   * An old biker joke from Clark's dad (rmx by me) *   

     "A fagot is riding a moped. And then the engine suddenly stalls.
The fagot is naturally a layman in hardware and fusses around the moped: “Oh,
The moped won’t start!”, then he’ll push it with his hand, then with his foot... :)
Here, passing decorously and measuredly, sitting proudly and steadily in his
A biker passes by on a Harley. He drove past and thought: “Well, how is that possible?
No, you can’t do that - after all, the brotherhood of the road - the dude got it

     - Hey, bro, okay, come onwill push your shit? (bass)  
     - Should we leave the moped on the road?! (in a small voice)      


     After the joke, a competition was announced in which participants must

There was nothing special about this boring competition.  But
Next came the much more interesting part of the program:
stumps were placed at a distance of one meter from each other,
about ten pieces, the same one was exhibited in parallel
"path".  Then opened cans of beer were placed on them
"Abolon".   The task is as follows: two opponents
while driving a bike, they must collect as many cans of beer as possible without
without losing it and not falling off the motorcycle. Very, very difficult
competition!  The first couple didn't make it.  The second one too. Their "catch"
amounted to no more than three cans - where is this good?  But
next was a rather frisky biker, who had collected absolutely
all the cans, and since there was nowhere to put them, I had to
quickly place them on your legs, pushing them between your knees.
Naturally, there was no time to put the jar vertically, and

getting wet in my pants and etc... In general, this competition was really

misleading you, we should make a small clarification: prizes
were issued NOT after the competition, but somewhere in the middle of the show,
during breaks between concerts and other nominations.

a young guy about seventeen or nineteen came out. I want
notice that presenters always try to laugh at young people,

showed a good result, although not breaking the record, but still!
His mistake was that the wheel did not fly forward, but upward.
As they say, the young and daring powerhouse has run wild! Well nothing:
They say the first damn thing is lumpy.  Some big guy won
a man who threw a wheel to about six meters (definitely not

following the example of several comrades (sorry, - gentlemen) I just took it and sat down

     The results were summed up, everyone congratulated each other, and so what?
next?   Again, again, the strongmen were given a wonderful

downhole competitions: raising the ENGINE!!! Two people carried

really difficult and not every “man” has enough health to
take part in it. There are just "muzzlers" here (I mean, guys

and a funny moment: a man came out and started lifting everything

exposing the family to the public!  I can’t tell you how everyone laughed! A
the poor man continues to press with his ass almost open
