Three Things You Don't Know About Me?


1. I hate racing and competitions, don’t take me wrong, I love traveling and skate closed roads with hay, that’s why you might see me at some IDF races, but at the moment I have to start pushing at the start line, I prefer to chill and stay safe, don’t want to hurt myself and hurt the other riders on a attempt of wining something that is definitely out of reach.

2. I´m a Daddy's girl, but to get my own money, I work as a hostess on random congress, and as a skiing instructor. The truth is that my parents are my best sponsor.

3. I can’t fold a Camping tent by myself.

What’s Next? 

I just arrived from a freeride at the north-west of Spain, O inferno (the hill to the hell) and It was such a blast to skate again with the Spanish downhill crew. And I am looking forward this summer to stay in Norway and skate some fiords hills, I am taking it easy this year and I won’t be racing, I don’t have money and I need to do my architecture Internship. But in September I will move to Delft in The Netherlands for the fall term and stay with the Sickboard shop family.
