well life is really amazing man
so freestyle this is what I do
it’s called BMX freestyle flatland but
what is really freestyle can anybody say
what is freestyle always like freedom of
it stands no but freestyle is more than
this is is a philosophy is an attitude
and it’s magic let’s start from the
this is what you need to do BMX
freestyle flatland is your imagination
the bike and a flat ground that’s all
you need how I started for me in the 90s
I went to a cinema i watch a movie is
called the BMX bandits Nicole Kidman is
in this movie so I fell in love with the
sport and Nicole I do like her and what
I like about this part is the
individuality like there are no right
tricks or wrong tricks you can do
whatever you want there are no rules I
don’t like rules and there there is no
boss you know this is this is beautiful
and I saw a lot of guys in Madrid you
know in Retiro Park practicing and I
just wanted to be part of that crew you
know I was like wow the scene I I saw in
the movie is real and I can actually you
know start so this is how I I fell in
love with this amazing sport with I
rather call it art because as you saw is
very artistic
so this bike has infinity possibilities
like you can do whatever you want you
know there is no limit what you can do
with a BMX bike I don’t know how many
things in the world you up nowadays that
you can say the same about you know but
this is fully infinity the ingredients
to be a good freestyle rider or a good
freestyler is to have a true passion I
believe like a true passion is something
that comes from your heart
I didn’t start writing thinking I’m
gonna be good I’m gonna become world
champion I’m gonna earn money and fame
this is not these are not the right
reasons so I think when you have a real
true passion the universe is going to
help you to to achieve dreams that you
don’t even know that you can do do you
learn a lot of balance I think in life
we need balance you know this is all
about balance if you are too much on the
left
you’re unbalanced same if you are too
much on the right so you need to be in
the middle point is the same as in the
in life to be in the middle point means
always be in motion to don’t have fears
to always go on there is nothing wrong
to be go to the left side or the right
side you know you learn when you follow
what I like about BMX flatland is that
you can have self-expression like I can
express myself with this if I’m angry I
think I write faster if I’m relaxed I’m
smoother you know you can put all your
energy into this for this for the
self-expression you need to learn the
universe to come through you to express
yourself because this is very important
in this sport you have to be honest with
yourself how you want to express
yourself I I saw that you guys clap a
lot when I spin because this is the most
impressive but spin is the easiest thing
you know
we say in our sport spin2win because you
get the crowd and sometimes the judges
are like ah he should win you know
because the crowd but you know I you
have to do the tricks that really are
yours original and and this is this is
the beautiful part of this this bike and
you have to be present you need to be in
the moment if I’m riding and I’m
thinking about something else I will
crush you know is I learned that from
riding BMX there are three rules to be a
good freestyler and this is applies to
life the first rule is not to have fixed
plans the second rule is to open your
mind and empty your mind because when
you empty your mind new ideas can come
and the third rule is to remember remind
to yourself the last two rows which is
very difficult so I will put you three
examples of how I apply this freestyle
mindset into my life and how the
opportunities came so I’m gonna show you
this is a trick called elephant elephant
Glide probably a guy in America invented
it so this is like the year of the
elephant and this is the trumpet right
so we glide like this and this is the
elephant Glide
so I was doing this trick and by mistake
me my bike fell into the floor and it
was a mistake but I thought what if I
can grab the bike and you know make
something out of it so this is the
result that happen sorry press the wrong
okay this is the trick sorry
so this is the elephant light thank you
[Applause]
so you know from this mistake the life
gave me the opportunity to be like oh no
it’s not a mistake this opportunity so
if I managed to make this three
consistent it’s gonna be good for me for
competitions it’s gonna bring podiums
and for me the most beautiful is like
I’m bringing something to BMX freestyle
contribution contributing to the
evolution of the sport so you know in
new generations will use this new
concept idea to bring new tricks and
the second example I call it the epic
victory this is a really true feeling
and this is very funny what happened
this is in Kyoto in Japan we have
competitions in Japan always been going
for maybe thirty five times in the last
eighteen years and I won there with
fixed plans I forgot about the rules I
went with tricks that I I wanted to do
in the contest but the floor was not for
me and I couldn’t do anything so the
night before the finals the opportunity
to have fun came to me and then I I met
the Japanese riders and was like yeah
let’s go to the car okay let’s have fun
you know I was like yeah you know you
only live once so why not so I went to
the karaoke until 6:00 in the morning
slept three hours like I was destroyed
but I was happy you know because I was
very depressed that I couldn’t do my
trick
and I went to the competition with
nothing to lose because I already lost
my tricks I lost my shape so I was like
you know I’m gonna go and try new tricks
things that I didn’t plan and the funny
part is that they work and I ended up
doing the best tricks I ever did in a
competition just because I took the
opportunity to take that train called
fun you know so it was amazing and yeah
and the last opportunity which is the
ultimate for me is this photo that came
before so I was in Denmark I’m sponsored
by Red Bull so it was the launch of Red
Bull in Denmark so it was a huge
activation it was a big event and it was
a lounge party that you know there are
big parties but by then I was like no
you know I’m just gonna go for one drink
and you know I don’t like this attitude
of you know flirting with girls because
you’re an athlete and so no just going
for one drink and and is amazing so I
was I was present in the moment I was
not doing stupid things like getting
drunk and doing stupid things and then I
discovered love at first sight and with
hair it was the same
she went to Denmark to work but she
didn’t even bring party clothes and she
was not gonna go to the party because he
wanted to look pretty so we both were
you know in a situation that we took it
but it was it was not in our plan and we
found each other
you know we found love at first sight
that this is something that you only can
believe what happens to you I I thought
it was you know
so now thank you so now she is my wife
and we have a company she is a sport
lawyer and she is my manager and we do
what you saw in the video a lot of
events and amazing things around the
world now she’s pregnant expecting a
baby any any of those days coming thank
you so my conclusion is like this was a
bike this was a hobby this was a passion
but it taught me a lot and I really
recommend you to put some freestyle in
your life like don’t have fixed plans
you know let the spontaneous plans come
because you never know can be a car okay
you can be the woman of your life can be
a new trick it can be the opportunity
for you
