Sigge and his Swedish friends are old friends now, we’ve been riding together the trails around Braşov for two summers now, as you can see in these older stories (here, here and here). For the summer of 2013 we designed an all-mountain six-days tour with some enduro flavorings. The basic frame of the program was… Read more »

Braşov XCM recky rides
We started last year’s mtb season on the trails of Postavaru mountain, testing options for the XCM Brasov competition. The fresh green grass and the mild weather inspired Andrei and Mihai to play around, as you can see in the photo gallery below. A video edit done on the same occasion can be viewed here…. Read more »
Yellow Triangle – Poiana Braşov to Braşov
One less popular trail descending form Poiana Braşov to Braşov city is the Yellow Triangle. Ideal for advanced cross-country and all-mountain enthusiasts, as there are a few quite demanding uphill sections, this trail is most of the times avoided by the local downhillers. They prefer more straight forward descents, and ”Valea cu Apa” is much… Read more »
Mountain biking photo session
We rode this weekend the trails of Postăvaru and Piatra Craiului, and it was great fun. We were also able to dodge some of the terrible heat of this Mediterranean summer by staying under the trees for as much as possible. And as an extra-bonus, an unexpected but quite thrilling photo shooting with a Swedish… Read more »
Braşov XCM preview
Ten minutes video with footage filmed this spring on the trails of Postăvaru, home of the Braşov XCM marathon.
Testing the Go Pro HD Hero2
A sunny and frozen ski touring day in Postăvaru Mountain. The ideal opportunity to study future mountain biking trails, and also to test the recently awarded Go Pro HD Hero 2 video camera (more here). The results were equally encouraging. On one hand a very promising route from Postăvaru down to Poiana Braşov seems to… Read more »
Ski good or eat wood
So what do we do when the snow keeps us from cycling up to Poiana Braşov? We go on skis – and then descend through the deep forest. I recently saw ”All.I.Can” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1zc2Mwz_bg). Amazing footage: helicopter shots, super slow-motions, time-lapse sequences, incredible scenery and outstanding skiing. It’s like watching a 90 minutes video commercial. Still,… Read more »
2011 Xmas video postcard
It was a good year for mountain biking in Romania, we enjoyed every minute of it. We also filmed some of them – grab your headphones, pump up the volume and hit play. It’s not going to feel like you’ve been there (even if… you where), but it will be close. This film won the… Read more »
Photos from Cetatea Braşovului Duathlon
Today I was a photo-witness at the Cetatea Braşovului Duathlon. All the photos where taken on a descent section, just after Poiana Stechil – therefore only the participants to the pro race are featuring. The mountainbiking part of the duathlon is really tough, some say it is the most difficult racing trail in Romania. It… Read more »
