About event
Videos, slideshow and conversation with Banská Bystrica traveler Marek Slobodník about the long journey from Banská Bystrica to distant Mongolia on a Honda ATC 200 tricycle with Luaz 967 amphibious vehicles, aka Yellow Frogs.
It started in 2012, when we every river in South America, they said, would like a floating car! We knew about Luaz, and so later during the expedition, the message "ALE LUAZ" was created. As soon as we returned home, we traveled to Ukraine, where we bought one such vehicle and thus began the story of the first amphibious expedition. Marek Slobodník wanted to remain faithful to motorcycles, so he was looking for one that wouldn't sink in the water and heard about the Honda ATC 200. An incredible 11 years of endless preparations and bureaucratic problems passed from the purchase of the first Luaz to the start in 2024. As well as the preparations, the journey was not at all easy...
Come and listen to the story of how we got with amphibious vehicles to distant Mongolia. From Europe across Asia through the craziest country we've ever been to, Turkmenistan. You will learn why we crossed the border to Uzbekistan on a rope. Why the Honda ATC was discontinued and why no one ever rode it anywhere. We will talk about how it looks right now in Russia and what we were asked at the border. You will get to know the incredible beauty of the Altai Mountains. You will see not only how we sailed on our vehicles, but also how we drowned. How we were speechless from the endless beauty of the Mongolian plains. But none of it was as wonderful for Marek as what he experienced at home, immediately after returning...
Seven travelers, 3 months on the road, 14 thousand kilometers and an infinite number of problems during the whole trip "BY TRICYCLE TO MONGOLIA"
