ACHTUNGIf you could ride anywhere on a motorcycle now, where would you go?
Nastasya: I would go to the Odessa from before of a carefree peacetime. Driving along the shores of the Black Sea, feeling all the beauty of nature, the immensity of the sea, inhaling the sweet scent of summer, smiling at happy people.
A: Do you have a driver’s license? (Car or motorcycle?)
N: I don’t have a license but I’m planning to do it in the nearest future as speed always makes me so excited. But my dad was teaching me how to drive a car in a village so in some way I can drive.

A: Do you remember where you drove for the first time in a car? 
N: It was in Kyiv near the river Desna during summer. This area was surrounded by amazing nature. And there my father was teaching me how to drive a car. That day I was successful, picking up speed, driving up and down big hills. I was feeling like the boss of the road, especially with rock music in the background.
A: For a long time in our society, a car meant freedom. Do you think this is still true? 
N: For me a car definitely is freedom as this is not only a vehicle to go somewhere, it’s also a place and space which belongs only to you, where you don’t depend on anyone. You can always sit in a car, turn the music on and go where your heart desires.

A: Motocross is a very male-dominated sport. Did you have hobbies in your childhood or even now that your surroundings saw as ”too manly“ or ”not for girls“?
N: My parents and my surroundings have never had such stigmas about male and female hobbies. What’s important is your happiness. So I could play with dolls and then play football without having trouble after.
A: How did it feel wearing the motorcycle garments?
N: Wearing motorcycle garments feels like you are an invincible superhero, extremely strong, and also very sexy. 
A: Bike or motorcycle?
N: Bike for usual life and motorcycle for crazy holidays.
