RIDERS

 

Nickname: I don’t have one, but my friends call me FER.

Age: 23

Home: From Buenos Aires, Argentina. But living in HB, CA.

What do you do on your bike: Mmmmmm.......Tricks.

 

Favorite spots: Nasty’s and Rick’s in Riverside. I’ve never been to the East Coast so I have no idea how the jumps are over there. But hopefully I will go ride there this year.

I ride sk8parks as well, like twice a week. But there’s just nothing better for me like jumping good big doubles.

Plan of attack: I don’t have one. I just wanna do the tricks I want and have fun riding.

Free time: I like going to the beach, but I don’t go in the water too much because one day a fish bit my hand. So now I’m afraid of that happening again.

I like watching BMX videos, listening to music, and hanging out with friends.

After dark: Well, if there isn’t a place with lights to ride, I may go to my friend’s or go somewhere else. If I’m not riding the next morning, then I will probably get some beers and then drive back home trying to obey the rules so the police don’t pull me over.

Wake up: I usually wake up early, around 8 am (unless I got drunk the night before. Then I’ll wake up around 12pm). Getting breakfast is the best thing of the morning. After that, I check e-mails and I surf in the internet a little bit.

Down the road: I just wanna ride as much as I can and try to make it to some contest this year and have fun doing what I do. And of course keep learning new tricks...

It all started: I started racing BMX when I was 5 years old. I never trained hard, I just did it for fun. But doing tricks was more fun for me. I quit racing when I was 17 and I became a dirt jumper.

It’ll end: Hard question!!!! I’ve never thought about it so I don’t have the proper answer. I think I will never stop riding. Even if I have to work double time, I would find a moment to go ride.

Were you alive when SE was created? No way dude!!! I was still inside my dad when it was created.

Favorite thing about SE: It’s really good to have Todd Lyons as team manager. Any question about BMX, he’ll know the answer.

When you grow up: My dad owned a BMX track in Argentina when I was 5, so I grew up riding there. I will never forget when I jumped a double over five people and I landed on the stomach of the last person and I fell and got knocked out and I ended up in the hospital with stitches in my head.

Words: Don’t eat fast food. It’s nasty and it makes you fat.

Ride hard and have a good day!
