Boot Camp in Brazil!
You guys have heard about Humpty Dumpty right? The poor sucker that fell off the wall and needed to be put back together? Well, I’m the doctor that keeps putting the modern day Humpty Dumpty – Dimitri Maramenides, back together again. His stunts and big airs are not for the faint of heart, but when you push your limits at that level, altitude, and duration — you’re bound to get some bumps, bruises, gashes and hospital trips along the way. I mean, how many riders travel with a medical staff? A recent adventure started with a phone call from Dimitri asking me to accompany him to Brazil. The trip was going to take us to several locations, most of which required riding in desolate areas, far away from civilization, and medical support. Now I’ve been treating Dimitri for a long time, and we’ve become fantastic friends, but I kind of akin my responsibility to that of a professional stunt coordinator — always telling him to pull it back a little, to be more safe. Dimitri only knows two speeds — 1000 miles an hour, and sleep. How could I say no? Without me, who knows what trouble he’d get into?
Our last stop ended in Brarre Grande where we were treated really well at BGK Pousada. The intention was only to stay for the one night, but with a flexible schedule and the great time, we extended it to two. Brazil is an amazing place, and if you get the chance, I’d highly encourage you to visit the top riding sports, or book an adventure tour with experienced guides. Note that, kite vacations always need a recovery vacation after you return home. It was truly a blast, but I’m pooped. Thanks Dimitri. Looking forward to the next one.
