Ray’s MTB – Odd Couple: Nick Bruce & Nicholi Rogatkin
It’s been a little while since we’ve seen Nicholi Rogatkin’s name pop up since he transitioned over to mountain bikes, but him and Nick Bruce teamed up for this years Odd Couple contest at Ray’s MTB in Cleveland. Both of these guys, along with filmer Danny Mizicko, crushed it for their video that took home the 1st place win! Hit play and see just why! Definitely some heavy bangers in this!
“The Ray’s Odd Couple is a video contest that takes place over two and a half days in Cleveland. Each team consist of a mountain biker, BMX rider, and a filmer, who must film, edit, and upload a complete video in the allotted time.
Team Kali was represented by Nicholi Rogatkin on the big wheels, Nick Bruce on the 20s, and Danny Mizicko behind the lens. After two relatively sleepless days, they produced a banger of an edit that won first place unanimously.”
