Crazy. They need to sign this guy up for the next James Bond flick.

It is amazing what people will do in their free time.

The setting had a Tarkovsky-like feel to it, but I suppose those are a dime a dozen in Ukraine (or Russia?)

Anyway, I wouldn't want to insure that guy.

The dog was a nice touch.

If those guys are the course setters, time to start training. Beats the British video of orienteers jumping off cliffs to train.

I had similar thoughts to j-man's insurance comment - this guy's gotta have a very short life expectancy. Very impressive though...

And yeah, there are a large number of abandoned building construction projects in the former Soviet Union.

Can anybody (like you husbands of Russian speakers) give us a translation of the dialogue at the end?

I can give you a translation, but I wouldn't trust it.

This really isn't too different from what I see on many outtakes of movies. This guy could be the next Jackie Chan
Did you notice he escapes the dog by going through the back seat of a Volvo?

they were talking about another evening training, but his friend already had plans.

if you want exact translation, let me know.
