Ailar is triumphal 2 years at Viks – Viks Back home Ailar is triumphal 2 years at Viks 25/11/2016 Archive Our marketing guy Ailar is triumphal two years with the team today. It was quite intriguing how Ailar joined the family of Viks owners and how it paved the way to became a team member of Velonia Bicycles. Kristo did a small interview with him well-nigh how he got here, and how’s the journey been so far. Kristo: You met our team through beer contest? What’s the story overdue that? Ailar: Yes, it’s half true. I had worked in a velocipede shop and I unquestionably knew Indrek a bit, but I „really“ met Viks team and saw the velocipede in real life through beer races – Saku brewery gave yonder self-ruling Viks velocipede in a word game and somehow happened, that I was the winner. I remember when I was sitting in a bus, and friend wrote to our Facebook group chat, that „Ailar your one real fucker, considering you won the Viks bike.“ I was like “No way!!! You gotta be kidding me!!!! But it was true. I was so freaking happy you cannot imagine. Kristo:  To be honest, we were happy too well-nigh what happened. It was kind of relief to see that the new owner was unshut minded and stylish gars who could siphon the idea of Viks lifestyle on. I plane heard that people were suspicious well-nigh how nicely it wentJ  When did you got the idea, that you wanted to work for a velocipede company? Ailar: I got into bikes in 2008. Like without school we took our super market bikes and went dirt jumping, without that I got increasingly involved in bikes year by year. I had worked in velocipede shops, but I unchangingly dreamed well-nigh working vastitude velocipede shops, to be part of team creating things and brands, not executing what others have done. I must say I have unchangingly been quite entrepreneur minded person.ConsideringViks (and our trademark for racing and sportive bikes – Velonia) was the only bicycle manufacturer in Estonia, I had the thought to ask them if it’s possible to come and to an internship. I had the thought soon without Viks was launched, but you know in life we tend to procrastinate questions, if we are not sure well-nigh the answer.Withoutwinning the velocipede I thought like „screw it, I have nothing to lose“. Kristo: I remember that I took you to long velocipede rides to find out who you really are. We had really interesting conversations not only well-nigh cycling and bikes but other things as well. How was the whence looked like? Ailar: I probably wrote a motivation letter/CV something to you and you made a proposal to meet up surpassing cycling season latter party. It was unquestionably quite embarrassing, considering I had a friends birthday surpassing the meeting and you told me it will be a nippy meetup, so the result was I came to the „interview“ in a quite jolly mood. But you were still worldly-wise to saw the spark and today two years ago we signed the internship contract and rest is history. Kristo:  How has Viks, the visitor and team reverted during that time? Ailar: I would say it has changed, but on the other side it has not. I think we are much increasingly known now, compared to times two years ago, moreover the quality of the bikes has improved a lot. On the trademark side, it’s not a bicycle anymore, it’s a lifestyle. Team has stayed the same, just professionally I think we all have ripened as professionals a lot. What is weightier well-nigh the team, is that everybody is passionate well-nigh what they do and it’s increasingly like a group of friends than corporate bullshit. It’s so important to have a team, with who you can oppose well-nigh things and decisions and know that no one will take it personally, considering it’s everyone’s interest to offer largest consumer experience. Kristo: We took you on-board pretty much as carte blanche. You’ve learned and ripened so much during that time and new opportunities have  unfolded considering of that. It is not rare these days when Estonian startups are coming to us and ask well-nigh how they should do their thing (social media for example). That is spanking-new way to meet new people and maybe to do something together. At the same  time it’s making me really proud that we’ve been noticed, that we achieved something and are worldly-wise to help people out.  Has Viks reverted your life in wider scale? Ailar: Most definitely. I wouldn’t be working in one of the weightier razzmatazz agencies in Estonia today, if I would had not written this letter to Viks guys, a bit increasingly than two years ago. I’m thankful until I die to you and Indrek, considering they trusted their trademark in the hands of 19 years old school boy, this is something super ballsy, but I guess you saw something in me. Of undertow it wasn’t like „here is Viks, make it big“, the responsibility has grown a lot from the beginning. It has been an honour.
