In Greek, "to karoto" means "the carrot". This came about from a language learning app where the first thing they teach you is how to say "the carrot" So we were repeating it constantly as a joke. It became contagious and the Greeks started saying too, so we thought it would turn out to be a good name for the project

The crew consisted of Hristo, Magic, Boyan and Bobby, the filmer. We started from Sofia, followed by Thessaloniki, Volos, Lamia, and finally Athens.

We were lucky to have wonderful weather throughout the trip which allowed us to also enjoy the beach and have a really good time. We spent most of our time in Athens. An important highlight was sharing the camper as living space among the four of us. Riding and filming from morning to night. It was very exciting and productive because everyone was pushing themselves a lot. I personally have never had so many tricks on serious street spots for such a short time. A big contributor to that was the high level of focus and commitment that we had as a team. Every day was a mission to get the most out of the available time and energy, and it was a great process.

Bobby, our filmer, had a huge role in making the whole thing happen so productively because it’s been a while since we had someone on a trip who was there only to film. His contribution was enormous; he is incredibly dedicated to his craft and possesses a unique vision that is constantly evolving. And he’s only 15 years old! 

In Athens, we were with the locals all the time. They took amazing care of us, every day showing us around a different neighbourhood, always full of spots. Without them we would not have been able to see even a fraction of this street paradise. They are all real gangsters and the underground culture in Athens is blooming. During the night, it's common to witness armed police officers patrolling the streets, explosions echoing here and there, and anarchists throwing Molotov cocktails at the police. A big chunk of the locals have punk mohawks, reflecting belief systems of resistance against authority. It’s a chaotic world that’s impressive to see!
