Stefan Ene, Valentin Moise and me ( Mihai Militaru) left Bucharest baneasa airport (better say baneasa gara de nord – that’s  how fucked up it really is)  in a trip to Never Winter Jam contest, in Poland.

We found our cheapest way to Poland by plane trough Rome, where we chilled for like 10-12 hours.  We met Alina and Maria there, our friends witch moved there from Constanta and they made us a really enjoyable tour trough one of the best cities in Europe.

1st stop: Colosseum

Alina taking care of us the whole day

All day long sun was shining, green was burning and munchies emptied our pockets with 50 euros each just in the first day of our low budget trip. But everything started in a more enjoyable way than we expected.

Early taste of summer

At night we arrived in Katowice, Mirek and Madej hooked us up from the airport.  For like 3 days we chilled in the Hedonskate headquarter, at Madej / Basja’s place, and in the small BAR indoor skate park.  ( more footage soon)

Good morning Madej

On like Thursday together with Madej’s Mithubishi colt we headed to Wroclaw, where the contest was going to take place 2 days later.
we arrived only like 20 minutes before the park was closed… so we had a super fast  check the park session.   ( i have to mention i was there on year ago after Chaz Sands Invitational so for me it was more of a checking my new xsjados section)
Later that day we met up with Anna, Bartek’s girlfriend, where w stayed at during our 3 nights stay in Wroclaw (bartek is famous rapper from katowice – supporting hedonskate as well)

At the contest Baloo qualified in the final, placed 7th and qualified for WRS amateurs finals in California in October.  (only top 5 from each WRS contest qualify for the finale, but winner ( Dominik Wagner – REMZ PRO) and 6th place polish rider Adam Zurawiecki- USD PRO) are pros so they don’t count!

Sunday morning i left to Kosice together with Martin – ONE TO ROLL skate shop.  I was supposed to just chill at his place for one night and next day to continue my trip to Budapest where i wanted to go to finish my section in Osszhang2 aka the sickest movie ever released in east Europe. But it ended up having too much of a good time there so next day we just skated whole day, chilled and i stayed one more night at his place.  Thanks for the ONE2ROLL t-shirts Martin!

So Tuesday  i was checking the sunshine in Budapest ( after snowing everywhere in Poland).  Booba took care of me the whole trip in Budapest, as always! – thanks a lot Booba – respect man!
So in Budapest everything went as scheduled:  we spited wisely in 2 parts the full two days of filming – so we had time to shoot everything we wanted – except for finishing to film a line because of fucking rain!

welcome to Budapest 1st time in 2009
