Last year I went to a very important event here in Spain called “O’marisquino”. There were skate competitions, BMX, motocross… At that time I was a skater but BMX just caught my attention. The hotel where we were staying, was just opposite where flatland riders do tricks. Every morning I looked out the hotel window and watched them doing flatland. I was really surprised, I thought that they did amazing tricks, full of elegance and complexity. I had the opportunity to meet great riders, most of them from Madrid. After the event I was really interested in this sport. I spent many hours watching videos online and even went to the square to see my new friends riding. After that, I decided to get a bike. Not exactly of flatland. It was much larger and heavier. But with help of my new mates I got some lighter parts and a real flatland bike. At first I learned some basic tricks of street thanks to a neighbour, but now I spend every evening in Madrid learning and having fun with my flat mates.
