Kidd of Speed

Every once in a while I come across an article that is too cool to pass up even if it doesn’t really have much to do with anything.

KiddOfSpeed.com isn’t exactly the most visually appealing website and the english is sometimes a tad haphazard, but the story is amazing.

A motocycle ride through Chernobyl. That’s a story right there. If there’s any place on earth that could be called a cursed wasteland that’s it. Filled with abandoned towns, old communist propoganda, and irradiated forest, Chernobyl’s got it all.

This is my favorite page. A town, not found on any maps. For a hundred and fifty years everyone in the town had the same name. Creepy…

In one of the greatest ironies, the area around Chernobyl, abandoned for so many years now, has a blooming natural habitat. Nature is reclaiming its own from the irradiated wasteland. Some of the pictures are truly gorgeous, and these are the places that are somewhat safe to go. What lies deeper within?

Here’s the easy navigation page. Enjoy!
