Last week we were sent an edit of a Russian rider named Andrey Moskvin. So far we have mostly seen action from the streets in Russia and not much from the backlands, so we were blown away by this cosmonaut launching himself into space with the finesse of Nijinsky without getting noticed by our radars. We decided to find out more about this well-rounded Russian booster and asked him: Who Are Ya?! Who Are Ya?!Hi, my name is Andrey Moskvin, I'm 28-years old and I live in Korolev.
