Together with friends and fellow BMX riders Austin Augie and Anthony Panza, Billy conquered one of Estonia’s most mysterious places: Rummu prison and quarry. Inmates from the nearby prison mined limestone at the site until the 1990s, when the quarry was abandoned and flooded. Billy exchanged his usual BMX bike for a fat bike. Its thick, off-road tyres lent themselves well to exploring the crumbling, graffiti-covered complex. Unlike his signature wheels, Billy discovered the fat bike was, “easy to ride on snow”, but, “not easy to do tricks on”.

On his first day, Billy learned to make the Estonian cheesecake known as ‘kohuke’ at a dairy farm, went to a smoke sauna and plunged into a frozen lake.

One highlight for Billy was the ATV tour through the snowy forest of Jõeküla, which he thought “looked like a scene out of a movie”. The day continued at Rummu prison and quarry with BMX riding the Estonian way — freestyle on fat bikes.
