The most time I definitely ride street and park, but I can although ride dirt a bit

Best spot ever ridden?

There is no ,,one best spot’’ but barcelona has one of the most and best street spots in a very low of density.

Which place is still on your to do list?

Puuuh, I am always excited to ride something new and there is a lot out there . The Ruben Alcantara Bowl in Malaga would be sick!

How did you get into dirt jumping/street riding?

It starts all with 10 years I think. Me and my friends, we all had a BMX . We starts to build one little dirt kicker to jump over it and it feels like “wooow, I am in the air Iam flying”! Time has gone and the kickers grow up bigger and bigger and one day I tried and dirt bike and it feelt so much better, so I decided to buy one. All my friends stayed on BMX,  so I had to ride skatepark with them. At the beginning it was very hard, but I got better and batter. I removed my brakes, which allowed to throw as often as I wanted. In the end riding felt nicer and cleaner without brakes.
