Sport Specific Information |
Why this sport? |
"In the mid 1990s I was doing BMX, but the discipline was gradually being abandoned in favour of mountain biking, so I looked for a sport that could give me the same sensations as BMX. Glide, speed, trajectories and jumps. As I resided in a mountainous region, snowboarding came to me and I immediately loved it." |
