BRAZILIAN DREAM
Questions: 1 - How was your life before bmx?
My life before bmx I would say was a bit lazy and boring, after I started biking I definitely found myself, it was love at first sight lol.
2- what were your dreams as a child?
My dream as a child is still the same today because I started walking at the age of 8 and each time the love for the sport only grew, I think at 14 when my mother passed away and she helped me a lot with my chores in bmx, that's when I saw that bmx was my life and I would never let this dream die.
3-in the darkest moments of your life than bmx, what role did you play and why did you cling to bmx?
he bmx has always played a very important role in my life, in the most difficult moments it was like my refuge where my problems disappeared and I was able to have fun on the bike.
4- how is your life when you are not riding a bike?
I'm definitely a Bmx addict, when I'm not riding I'm thinking about it or watching something related to Hshsh.
5-many know your life as a rider but few know what it cost you to get there, so what were your biggest challenges to become a person who focuses his life on this beautiful lifestyle?
It was really very difficult to generate income with bmx, I had to make several sacrifices and dedicate myself a lot to bmx, because where I live the scene is not strong and I had to try to reinvent myself on the bike. in a number of ways, keeping moving and some outdoor work is also important, the important thing is to stay focused and never give up .
6- to this day, what challenges have you experienced and how has bmx helped you overcome them ?
There were several challenges that bmx always helped me solve in some way, from knowledge over time on the streets and trips to simply having something to lean on and stand firm.
7- if you could talk with your past self, with the 5-year-old boy, with the 7-year-old boy, what would you say to him?
I told myself as a child that it would be for me to really focus on bmx what difficulties I have seen but it is to keep dreaming and not give up.
8- There are many boys out there who suffer from depression, strong addictions to drugs and live very badly, many boys who have not tried BMX out of fear, what message would
you give to the world so that it never gives up and never stops dreaming?
I would say that we pay attention to the bmx and try to be adventurous, leaving behind the things that do not carry us forward and enjoying the good things in life such as true friendships and adventures, giving more meaning to life itself, I think that the bmx life changer for anyone involved is a unique lifestyle!
