The final stage of the Eagle XC romanian cross country competition was held in Poiana last weekend (organized by George Marinescu). This place is a nice ski resort few kilometers away from Brashov up on the mountains. Just as in the previous years, there was also an acro show to impress the puclic, composed of mostly paraglider pilots. They invited two synchro teams, Against The Grain (Xandi and Bernd) and Soft Landing (Gábor and me)). On saturday we jumped two times from helicopter. The conditions were really bad, the wind was very strong from the south so the event's place was on the lee side of the mountain and the air was extremely turbulent. It was a really hard job for all of us to make a nice show and soft landing.
