Billy Bolt stranded in the Romaniacs wilderness
By TMX Archives on 14th Jul 16
Last night, at 10pm, an exhausted and worried Billy Bolt was returned to the Romaniacs camp in the city of Sibiu.
At around noon, Bolt had navigated himself into what he thought a 'no way out-situation' near the Malaia Loop.
After sliding off the trail, he kept losing altitude trying to get back on the track and ended up 500m below at a nearby lake.
When Red Bull Romaniacs track manager Eric Themelarrived at the lake at 3pm, he found Bolt stranded by the lake, with a trail and houses in sight nearby and Bolt between his spread out emergency equipment.
After having tried his first taste of the Romanian wilderness, Billy was afraid, and thankful to see a 'friendly face' again. Themel helped Bolt back up and out of the dead-end and handed Billy over to his waiting father and his manager Julian Stevens.
They returned by van to the city, but not before getting stopped by the local police and paying a fine for riding without lights!
Themel continued to rescue a few more people out there and returned to the HQ later that night.
