This is one seriously amazing video. Done by Andrej Čubra and Boris Štromar, this helmet cam view of the TransDinara MTB Marathon 2014 is packed with beautiful landscapes of Dinara and Kamešnica mountains from a 3-day race through Trilj, Sinj, Vrlika and Knin. This is what the TransDinara marathon website says about the Dinara mountain and the race:

“When we set out to explore the route of TransDinara marathon, we had no idea the nature could fascinate with its minimalism, in the absolute. Two colours in a thousand shades, and not a single sound, except that of tyres milling the harsh mountain trail and the wind that becomes a natural tinnitus. Vastness gains real dimension. Any comment, query and wonder becomes supressed by an occasional sigh; either the one from fighting for a breath on one of hundreds endless climbs, or the one that simply signifies immense awe for the size of everything surrounding you. Stripped of any aesthetics that we as nature-lovers and mountain bikers are used to, which provides us with comfort and motivation in moments of utmost physical strain, pedalling on this route becomes a demanding psychological test: no part of the route is predictable, no area gives a hint whether it is going to get easier or harder. Any guesses about the terrain before us are of no use. Endless curves of mountains in front of us, valleys and hills behind us. And in the far distance, exponentially larger combination of this scenery. Dinara is a mountain of constants. One of those is harshness. Harshness of terrain, harshness of nature and everything it sculpted. And it shapes us, too, as We suspiciously observe a wonderful downhill in front of us, weary of repentance in the form of next climb that will wipe the naïve, childish smirk off our faces, for the thousandth time. The sweetest smile comes at the end. And lasts almost forever.”

We will bring you more information about the prepared TransDinara 2016, which will take place in September 2/3/4, 2016, but right now, enjoy this stunning video:
