NBA Halftime Performer - Backstage - Vlog #1 | Violalovescycling

Hey guys and welcome back to my channel. In today's video I will give you backstage insights into my various NBA games I will perform in. So I arrived here today from a long flight from Germany in Las Vegas. Obviously it's such a beautiful city and tomorrow will be my first game at the Mountain West and my first NBA game will be on Wednesday in Dallas. So see you tomorrow. That was the moment when I entered the arena where I had my premiere in like the premiere of this whole US tour of in total nine games I performed in and here I'm checking how my bike behaves on the court and with the next move I'll do you can see how I check if there are bumps in the court because when I don't have the feet on the pedals I can feel the bumps more easily and with the next move that's how I check how much grip I have even if my bike goes to the side. Hey I'm here in Las Vegas and today is my first game I will perform in my trip and I just now had the chance to have a little practice time on the court which is really important for me because when it's too slippery or too hard the floor or too dusty or whatever it always makes a difference for my tires so therefore it was really really I'm really really thankful that I had a chance to go on the court real quick and do some tricks and check out how the like how the tires and how the bike behaves so yeah I'm really I'm here backstage and the funny thing is that they asked me if I want to do another game today which is two hours later than the first game so I will do two games today instead of only one and I'm getting so excited and it's so so cool it's like I really can't believe that it's finally going to happen like this whole project was planned for two years now and it was always postponed because of COVID and now it's finally going to happen and I'm finally in the US now and I'm finally in Las Vegas today and will perform today it's just crazy so I will warm up now then go out again breathe some fresh air calm down and then it's time for the game. Time difference from Germany to Las Vegas is nine hours so I took a little power nap backstage also to calm down because I was really really nervous that day it was the premiere of my US tour performing in so many games and I was really really nervous and also really really excited. So guys the first show for today is over now it was so much fun it was just incredible and I smiled so much it's crazy and I'm really looking forward to the second game today so now we will relax a little bit go outside breathe some fresh air and then second show for today and tomorrow we're heading to Dallas. After the second game of the night we went out to grab some food and our friend Raphael who's the person who brought me to the US and to the halftime shows in general he went with us to the Fremont street which is a street with an LED tunnel above which I've never seen before and was really really incredible he also showed us this huge screen. The next day we then flew to Dallas to perform for the Dallas Mavericks. So this is the backstage room I have for my game here in Dallas yeah a lot of space to warm up and to get ready for the game. It's huge look at this as it's only some more minutes until the game starts I don't have the chance today to go on the main court for practice before my performance so therefore wish me luck that everything will go well and that it will not to be too slippery or anything like that. Really often I'm struggling with cold feet so therefore I have some woolen socks with me to keep my feet warm and then it was time to warm up and this is a clock which was in almost every locker room which says how much time is left until the game starts and yes stretching is really important for me and yeah then when the first halftime started I was allowed to go to the practice court and it's not only important for me to see if it's slippery or not it's also important to practice for me because I disassemble and assemble my bike for the flights and when I have some time to ride on the bike it's important for me to check if I assembled everything correctly after the flight and then it was finally time to perform in my first NBA halftime show. There were so incredibly many people. The person standing next to me is my brother David who accompanied me in this US tour and I think in this moment he was as excited as I was. I have never performed in front of so incredibly many people and I feel so honored and grateful that I had the chance to perform there. The move I'm doing right now is to remove some dust from my shoes that I have more grip with my feet and then it finally was time to perform. You can watch a full video of this performance in a separate youtube video I linked above and in the description of this video and the next moment is the one I get goosebumps every time I watch. Okay this was an experience wow did you see how the crowd reacted like they were like cheering and like it's it was it was so cool oh my god Early in the morning we then flew back from Dallas to Las Vegas again in order to perform for the Pac-12 tournament in the evening and yes in Las Vegas they also have slot machines at the airport. So hi from Las Vegas again I was here on Tuesday and then for Wednesday I went to Dallas and now it's Thursday and I'm here in Las Vegas again but I'm here in a different arena and it's a different tournament. Today is the Pac-12 men's tournament and I will do the halftime show of the game which is at which starts at 8 30. To be honest I'm really really tired because the past two nights I only slept around two hours per night because I was in Las Vegas and then we needed to go to Dallas for the games for the game yesterday so I only slept two hours because the flight was departing really early in the morning and also today we slept in Dallas but today in the morning at six o'clock we went with the plane back to Las Vegas so therefore the two nights I only slept around two hours and that's what I'm feeling right now so but the cool thing was that I met two other really cool artists on the one hand Grace and on the other hand Jonathan and they made a really good job in the other games and now it's for me the game now. The next stop of my tour was in San Francisco performing for the Golden State Warriors. What happened there you can see in my second vlog.
