Despite the challenges of a late start with low snowfall this season, the uncertainty of a very small window of time to transport jib features to Muntele Mic, and even less time to shape a snowpark, our Alliance partners at weSKI Muntele Mic and The SSPOT rolled up their sleeves with us and got to work for the first Jibassic Ark rail jam, to make it all come together for the riders who turned out […]

In exactly ONE WEEK, we will all be gathering for a much needed snowy celebration. Let’s face it, this winter has been absolutely terrible so far, with summer-like temperatures and very little snow. With this in mind, our Alliance partners at weSKI Muntele Mic decided to take a risk and determined that no matter what, even without any new snow, they would hold an event in February to celebrate their 4 year anniversary and invited […]

Many of the cities within Romania are concrete playgrounds for skateboarding and bmx. With the drastic differences between new infrastructure and old, there are unlimited possibilities for personal expression within these action sports.

Învață din Mers is working non-stop to change that and ensure that the skateboarding community grows and has the proper […]

One of the most important aspects of the action sports is physical training apart from the sport itself. While it’s true that the best way to progress in surfing is to literally surf as much as possible, without taking care to work on joint and ligament health, flexibility, balance, and core strength, an athlete can find himself quickly getting injured when the swell starts pumping and waves get heavy. Cristina Munteanu is a fitness coach […]

Believe it or not, the Black Sea has a surf school, and even more unfathomable is the fact that it’s a great place to learn how to surf! How can that be so? Even though the ocean has much more powerful waves, which are honestly more desirable once a surfer moves out of the “beginner” level, it also has much stronger tides, rip currents, angry fish that want to stab you with poison or eat […]

Muntele Mic is a unique place within the Carpathian Mountains. The terrain is almost all above treeline which leaves endless possibilities for choice of fall line down the mountain. While there are easy groomed slopes down the mountain from a number of ski lift operators, there are also the ungroomed spaces between those trails. The guys at the weSKI Muntele Mic resort have taken serious advantage of this opportunity to help push the ski mountain […]
