RAUL JULA - BCN TIMES - FIEND BMXBy Šimon Čechura | 18.04.2018

Raul is one ambitious guy, who basically follows his instinct and does what he wants to. It’s clear that one of these things is to progress on his bike as much as possible. Because of that he knew he gotta start the season right. And what could be better then spend 2 weeks in sunny Barcelona, when back home is freezing cold? 

We've been chatting with Raul about the winter escape since it started freezing out in our countries. Whether you're in Romania or in Czech you can basically forget about riding outdoors if you ain’t an Eskimo. It didn't take long and our crew (Raul included) lands in Barcelona with 2 weeks left in this “every street rider” paradise. Long story short, it was a BLAST!!

Video filmed&edited by Ludek Sedlar (WDGF) will show you all the skill that Raul got on his bike and pictures captured by Milan Tykal (EM ET) will introduce you bit of feelings behind the scenes & in the action. And what’s better way to take a look in to Raul’s head then give him few “tell me 5” questions. Hyped on how it all turned out. Enjoy!!
