BIO
My name is George Kikos and I live in Athens, Greece. I spend my days practicing on BMX Flatland category which is basically ground tricks. I started at a very young age and got stuck with it as I was watching older riders practicing in various open squares around the city.
Having about 18 years of being a professional BMX Flatland rider, I have managed to reach the goals I always wanted. I now ride every day for 4 to 5 hours. For me, this is my life style and so much more. I have also participated in many contests around Europe! This is my one and true passion and while I ride around with my BMX, I feel alive – FLAΤLΑΝD for life!!
INTERVIEW
What are you looking for to accomplish?
I want to keep improving myself and skills all the time
What would be your greatest achievement?
A good position in a big contest
What kind of difficulties does your sport’s performance involve?
That there are no closed parks or spots where I can practice. Other than that, injuries are part of the game
What makes you feel satisfied when performing your sport?
BMX powers me up with great vibes and positive energy
Where do you practice your techniques when being alone?
I practice my skills 25km away from home. I go there every day as it is the only place I can do it right!
What do you do during your training which is key to your success?
I try to only focus on the trick I’m about to try. Good psychology is the key to success
What are you most nervous about when competing?
I’m not nervous at all cause this won’t help me concentrate. I try to keep my head clear.
Who would you say is your biggest fan and why?
My family and friends as well as many other people I think cause what they see is very different than what they’re used to see on a BMX.
What is the best piece of advice you have been ever given?
Keep up doing what you’re doing and don’t let others discourage you
What are your future plans?
Contests and a lot of good videos.
What are your tips for those who begin now?
BMX-Flatland is a tough sport and there aren’t many who choose it. However if you really like it enough, nothing can stop you. With a lot of patience and hard work, you can make it!

Canyoning Neda Canyon, Messinia
/
Greece, Messinia, Peloponnese Region
According to Greek Mythology when Rhea gave birth to Zeus, she gave him to nymph Neda, who was a goddess of the waters, to protect him from the husband, Saturn. Neda nursed the infant along with nymphs Theisoa and Agno and she bathed and washed him at Lykeo river, who later got her name, Neda river! Neda is one of the most underestimated rivers in Greece and still a hidden gem! It’s a perfect choice for canyoning or river trekking.
Neda is relatively close to Kyparissia and Zacharo, a nice summer resort with an impressive castle. From there you follow the route to mountain village of Platanias and there a narrow road leads visitors to the canyon of Neda. It’s charming and unpredictable with beautiful waterfalls, which appear suddenly in front of your eyes and small ponds with crystal clear turquoise waters are formed.
The old stone arch bridge marks the start of the hike. And what a hike! The path marked by informative signs and it goes to the edge of the canyon, where you come across the small waterfall with blue-white waters (it’s because of rocks!). In the depth of the canyon appears another bigger waterfall, which throw the water from a height of about 20 meters!
The overall time for the crossing the gorge from the beginning to the end is estimated between 7 and 8 hours. In some places walking inside the Neda river is unavoidable, while in other points swimming is absolutely necessary!
The fauna of the region is rich in variety and you can often see hares, birds, beautiful fish and crabs. Sometimes you can also see blue dragonflies and as they fly over the water which this makes the whole scenery dreamed!
