Tricycle to Mongolia with Marek Slobodník

Description

Videos, slideshow, and storytelling with traveler Marek Slobodník about the great journey from Banská Bystrica to distant Mongolia on a Honda ATC 200 tricycle with amphibious vehicles Luaz 967, also known as Yellow Frogs.
It all started in 2012 when we said at every river in South America, we need a floating car! We knew about Luaz, and so during the expedition, the phrase "BUT LUAZ" was born. 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 stay true to motorcycles, so he searched for one that wouldn't sink in 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. Just like the preparations, the journey was not easy at all...
Come listen to the story of how we reached distant Mongolia with amphibious vehicles. From Europe across Asia through the craziest country we have ever been to, Turkmenistan. You will learn why we crossed the borders into Uzbekistan on a rope. Why the Honda ATC stopped being produced and why no one has ever been anywhere on it. We will talk about what it looks like right now in Russia and what they asked us at the borders. You will discover the incredible beauty of the Altai Mountains. You will see not only how we sailed on our vehicles but also how we sank. How we were left speechless by the endless beauty of the Mongolian plains. But nothing was as beautiful for Marek as what he experienced at home right after returning...
Seven travelers, 3 months on the road, 14,000 kilometers, and countless problems throughout the journey "TRICYCLE TO MONGOLIA".
