Kovacs Robert blogspot: September 2010

          I was always excited about Red Bull Flugtag and on September 19, I finaly got the chance, amazingly I was invited at the third edition of Flugtag in Romania as a member of jury. I arrived at Bucharest on September 19 at 9 in the morning, then I went to see the Flugtag Museum beside Dâmboviţa river. To be honest I was not expecting big deal, but when I arrived and saw those "flying" machines I radicaly changed my opinion, Romanians realy have a lot of imagination xD. I walked among them smiling, making photos and imagining those machines "flying", what was a very exciting feeling.
          After that I met the Jury team and made friends, we talked, laugh and had a lot of funn beside a glass of lemonade, we where all excited and looked forward to start the event. Before the event started at 2 o'clock, I had a short briefing about judging, because I never was in a jury before. Meanwhile I met Duncan Zuur too, Pro Wakeboarder Red Bull athlete from Netherland and we talked a few minutes, he was just warming.
          When the event started, the audience was crazy, and anxious to see the first flying machine in the air, like me too. When I gaved my first note I was a bit nervous, but after I got used to it, actualy I think I have done pretty well. I had a very good time during the show, my favourite team was "Familia Cementini", but they didn't won.

Beside me is Dana Rogoz and Valery Rozov a Russian Red Bull athlete who had a demonstration with the Wingsuit, he is also the coach of the Russian parachute team.

The public was everywhere, even on the roof of buildings:

We delayed a bit, but we did it, after two days of hard work and lot of sweat finaly we managed to organize the eighth edition of the international contest named Trial Jam on Sept 18, what is already a tradition here in Oradea. The number of competitors was very big, and that made the atmosphere very pleasant, competitive and full of adrenaline, there where riders from whole Romania and we had a special guest from Hungary too, Erdelyi Adam who won the Elite category.
I competed in Senior category and I won, the weather was rainy when I raced and the tracks were all wet and slippery, but I think I did pretty well even in those conditions.
