WHY DID YOU START RIDING BMX?
I really started riding BMX for a video of Flatland, I loved it, that’s why I bought my first bmx of more than 20 kilos… And after being the first-year riding in Legazpi (Madrid), I discovered “La Traba”(indoor skate park) that’s where I really fell in love with BMX and what it involves.
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST BMX?
My first BMX was a Conor Hook.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN RIDING?
I’ve been riding 7 years.
WHO’S YOUR MAIN REFERENCE?
Since I began watching videos on YouTube, Instagram…, it’s been Kyle Baldock and Alex Hiam.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE TRICK OR COMBO?
Flair Whip 🤩
FAVORITE SPOT FOR RIDING BMX?
I would say Eurocamp, since it was my first trip with my friends to ride BMX. And then the friends I have all over Catalonia (Spain), who also make me love being around so much!
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE TO BMX?
I want to bring to BMX the happiness it gives me when I ride. It has given me all my friends who thanks to it I have, all the trips and experiences, the hits and the falls. I want to continue learning and not only tricks but also new places
and people.
BEST POTITION OBTAINED IN ANY COMPETITION?
Best position, I would say, it was the 5th place in Fise European (Madrid).
WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRAVEL WITH YOUR BMX?
With my BMX I would like to travel all over the world and meeting as many people as possible who share my passion, but Australia is my favourite place to travel.
