After a serious leg injury, M\u0101rti\u0146\u0161 is going through rehabilitation and is happy to test Husquarna 701 in enduro conditions. At the old Ape motocross track Ikarus, from which many legendary Latvian riders have started their way to victory, we meet Mat\u012bss Karro, World Junior champion who is competing as a member of Honda team in the royal MX1 class. The season has not been a good one for him because of injuries, but Mat\u012bss is dedicated to get over this hard time and is optimistic about the future. While exploring the old bus, we come across an old helmet with Honda sticker which means that Mat\u012bss has to try it on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of Mat\u012bss\u2019 aims is to win Vaidavas cup, which he doesn\u2019t have yet, but M\u0101rti\u0146\u0161 has two. Alex circles the track and performs several stunts on the trampoline on which J\u0101nis K\u0101rkli\u0146\u0161 achieved Latvian long jump record, he does several cool jumps, proving Husquarna 701 abilities as a sports bike.<\/p>\n

Having warmed up in the track, we take off towards the border where the small Vaastse Roosa village is located. We are greeted by an Estonian man named Meelis Mottus and he has stories to tell about guerrilla groups that hid in underground entrenchments after World War II. In 1999, he founded a tourism attraction named Metsavenna Talu, which offers extreme tourism in the form of spending a night in the entrenchment. In the forties, men spent up to a decade and more hiding in entrenchments like these. Meelis Mottus father Harry Mottus became a guerrilla in 1940. He came out of the forest in 1954, after Stalin\u2019s death, when the first deported people started to return from Siberia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
