 Hi, I'm Lavi and this is Oli. Over the past four years, we have been on some epic adventures around the world. Now, after converting an old van into our new home on wheels, we are ready to hit the road and explore the wonders of Europe. Click the subscribe button to follow our journey and let the adventure begin! Good morning! Welcome to Odyssey! So, this morning we are in Slovenia! So, something really amazing happened! So, we got in contact with Red Bull about our van life Europe adventure and would you believe it, they got back to us and invited us to come to some of their events around Europe. How crazy is that? Now, for those of you that have seen our previous series, you will know that we embarked upon a 2,000 km cycling adventure from the top to the bottom of Britain. If you haven't seen it already, you can check that out right here. Or somewhere there. Well, today we are heading to the Mountain Bike World Cup. Woo! Now, we did some off-roading during our trip, but that is going to be nothing compared to this. This is going to be crazy. I'm super excited, so I would say let's go! Let's get going! Whee! So, this morning we are in the town of Marivor, where this leg of the UCI World Cup, the Marivor Downhill, is happening. It's happening on a big, big mountain right in front of us just outside of town. So, we're going to leave our van here in the car park and make our way over to the event. Oh, and look what we got. Yes! Media, media! So, the Marivor Downhill is a two-day event and today will be the qualifying rounds for the women's and men's juniors for the women's and men's elite, followed by the finals tomorrow. So, today we thought we would just take you on a tour and show you around all the different areas and have a walk of the track from the top of the mountain to the bottom. So, first we have a gondola to take. Have a look at that. In the 1960s, they trusted their lives to go up the mountain and the gondola like that. That's pretty crazy. Gondola run! So excited. We have a set actually in a gondola, so it will be my first time. Gondola! Gondola! Oh my god, that's nice! So, the riders seem to have already started practicing. You can see them coming down the course. City of Marivor, down below in the valley. Views that we've got. Amazing. I could spend my whole day just going up and down the gondola here. Definitely. Okay, we are at the top of the mountain. Wow, look at the view from the top here. That's epic! So, this track here is the blue track and this is a bit of an easier one and the world cup track is the black track and that's the one we're going to head to now. Well, we are just walking down and I have to show you this view. It's crazy. You can see the whole town of Marivor here. It's just so beautiful. It looks like a picture. It's insane. It's really nice. So, it looks like the start point is just down here. We can hear the music. So, let's go down and check it out. Here behind me, this is the start of the track. This is where all of the qualifying rounds and all the finals are going to take place from this podium right here. You can see people everywhere from US. There's people from Canada, UK, Germany, everywhere. They're all getting ready to start the first round of seeding. As you can see behind us, the qualifying has begun. This is the starting area at the very top and the first jump is just here. So, we're going to have a walk down and see what else is in store for this course. It's so slippery and it's so steep. It's even to walk like literally impossible. Really, it's just mad. These guys are just mad. It's so steep and it's so curly and everything. I can't believe it. Just can't believe it. So, this part here is called the rocks and roll. And this is apparently the most crazy part of the track and there's a massive speaker playing some dance music. So, we're just waiting for the elites qualifying rounds to start. So, in about 10 minutes, they're going to start coming down and then it's going to go crazy down here. You can see behind me, they've set up a giant TV so we can see the riders on their way down and then a big bandstand and there's the action. That's crazy. Crazy. Those guys with the chainsaws are crazy but they make for a good atmosphere. Wow. Wow, just absolutely incredible. Okay, so just after the rocks and roll, you have Sam's Corner and they're coming down here. Crazy fast. Here comes one now. And there's like a tree right here. Okay, so we've made it through the forest, through the crazy forest. And we're at the final bit. You can see the beginning of the gondola down here. So, we're just going to head down to the finishing area and then that's the whole track. Okay, so finally, after a long, long walk down the mountain, we have reached the bottom and we're at the finishing area. Here is the finish line right behind me. They have a band here. They have a lot of food here. There we go. The atmosphere here is great. I can't wait for tomorrow. Exactly. A lot of awesome people. It's an awesome sport. Okay, so we've reached the end of the course and that is it for our tour for today. But we will be back tomorrow for the finals. Yes! We see you guys tomorrow. Good morning. Good morning. It is day two of the Mountain Bike World Cup in Maribor, Slovenia. Yes! And we're just having a morning coffee. I just want to show you quick our campsite here. Everything was fully booked out in Maribor, so we booked the campsite a little bit more in the countryside. We have epic hills around us and a little church. It's super cool and you can see there there's a lot of forest and a lot of trees. It's very beautiful here. It's really nice. The owner of the campsite is as well really amazing and we are now about like 20 minutes away. So we're just finishing up our coffee and get ready. So let's go. We are here. Woo! So we're here at the finishing area where in a little bit the 20 women's elite finalists and 80 men's elite finalists along with the juniors are going to finish right here. So we're just going to take the gondola up to the top now and make our way to the craziest part of the track back to the rocks and roll. Another awesome ride. Awesome! Woo! We've reached the starting area. Just to chill and watch it from for sure. But for us we're heading down to the rocks and roll area. We are at the rocks and roll area where the women's elite finalists are just about to begin. Yeah cool! It has begun. So the women's elite final is over and we are heading down to the finishing area. Okay we're down at the finishing area and the men's elite final has begun. The atmosphere has been amazing. Thank you. Can I get a high five? Yeah it's been amazing. So hot, so sunny. The tracks just blown out and dusty. It's like a proper world cup. Is it from our time here at the Maribor downhill mountain bike world cup? Yeah! We're so into mountain biking now. I think we have to start it. Yes definitely. Yeah that's definitely something we have to take up. That is absolutely awesome. First day seeing all the crazy riders doing a lot of crazy stuff on the mountain. And then today seeing the atmosphere from the crowd seeing the atmosphere from the podium and everything was just phew. Yeah it was a really really really awesome weekend and I loved it a lot. It was absolutely stunning. If you want to see full coverage from the event head to Red Bull TV so that is it from behind the scenes coverage of the mountain bike world cup here in Slovenia.
