Great vids there Lucas, what is the law in Poland regarding riding the trails?

 

[MTBiker]

You cannot ride legally within:
1. forests that are administered by government agency (80%) - except those tarmac , and non-tarmac roads that have local traffic allowed
2. national parks

It means e.g that most mountain trails are not accessible for enduro riders.
That is the reason that we was twice at Ukraine last year and we are going there this year again. There you can ride in Carpathian mountains legally. Similar situation is in Romania, but after they joined EU some restrictions were implemented.

Great videos and great places!!

 

[konfucius]

By the way, noticed in the latest video that there was two KTMs (690?) and only one XC, one of you got rid of your XC?

 

[konfucius]

And what kind of videocameras are you using? GoPro HD?

 

[MTBiker]

And what kind of videocameras are you using? GoPro HD?

Thanks for comments it always nice to get an one or two good words

For helmet cams we have 2x GoPro HD, and for stand shots and panoramas some regular Sony HD cammera.

For me and my ridding buddies
- I'm riding brown XCh (hyperpro suspension, some Stephan's protection parts, leovince pipe, etc)
- one of my buddies is riding also XChallange - white one - he is a author of last video compilation,
- next one which one I ride almost all my rides is riding 690 Enduro R
- third one was with us at last Ukrainian trip and he is riding 690 Enduro

So # of XChallanges in a team is constant and XCh it's not so popular bike in Poland - I think that whole number of XChallenge bikes are <10pcs. Few XCountry and few Xmoto ... comparing to BMW local best sellerers R1200GS/GSA or F800GS its not suprising that corporation accounts decided to cancel almost whole G line.

Great videos

Looks like a really good laugh and what a beach!
How many kms did you cover in all ?

 

[MTBiker]

3 riders 4 days 1200km - mostly offroad...

 

[powroll]

I am impressed .
I did a tour this year mainly road based and it certainly took it out of me, you must have felt pretty battered at the end but looks like your country allows a bit more freedom for getting on the dirt.
Some of the tracks remind me of parts of Wiltshire over here.
Keep it up and if you ever visit give us a shout have a great day!

 

[konfucius]

Would you mind to share your route/triplog from your Ukrainian trip?

Would be nice to view it in MapSource or Google maps.
