From Czech Republic, the World Rookie Fest is crossing Europe for the Transilvania Rookie Fest which will take place in Arena Platos-Sibiu-Romania from March 25th to 27th 2011.
The Transilvania Rookie Fest is the first international youth freestyle snowboard competition hold in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania.

The park has a length of 700 meters and includes 4 rails, 6 kickers, and one wall ride.
“The World Rookie Fest Tour is growing year after year and we are super happy to have now 2 stops in East Europe. It’s a great opportunity for riders to grow and make the progression upgrading too. Let’s see who will qualify for the big final in Ischgl!!” stated Meinhard Trojer from World Rookie Tour Committee.
