FACUNDO FERNANDEZ , SAN LUIS- ARG
Years ago when I was in primary school here in San Luis near my home during recess I used to see riders practicing on their bmx and they were dirt ramps, it amazed me so much and in my head I wanted to try it. Even though money was lacking in my family and the dream of having my bmx was difficult, years later they bought me my first bicycle but it was a typical hobby I began to meet more people with the same taste but going out on the streets without experience led me to they stole that bicycle that they managed to give me with so much effort, I gave up bmx frustrated by that fact. As the years passed, I felt I needed that experience again to practice and know that I had overcome that fear.
I told my mom that they were selling a bmx at a fairly cheap price but it was difficult for them until one day my mom called me to tell me to go get the bike that I deserved; with so much happiness I went for her. One day relatives offered me a job. When I was only approximately 15 years old, I began to save money to buy better parts for my bicycle, but hey, life moved me away from the bicycle due to bad meetings. Years later I came back, I started to meet new guys who did the same sport and they included me so much that it motivated me a lot.
Even though I didn't understand a lot about the sport, it was that time that with my group of friends we went on a trip for the first time to a “street jam ene ene/ paranoid bmx” event in Mendoza, seeing so many riders the walk and the level that I had never seen It made me want to know more, I returned home and understood something that I did not know, it was that I was doing the sport that I really wanted where I really felt.
All this was the beginning of bmx for me but I still understand what it is, but I am very clear from my personal point of view that before pursuing the famous dream of becoming a professional, they should pursue the dream of knowing this sport in the form of a friendship of loving , to learn, to share cultures, respect and everything that travel gives you. No matter where you go, where you decide to go, there will always be bmx and opening up to everyone can create something unique.
Even if they have hard days, hard injuries, don't lose your head that everything can be resumed and in the best way, also not everything can become bmx at times but there are always relatives and feeding on their love helps to come back more and more strong to this sport, no matter how many falls there you always have to stay on your feet. This sport is full of emotions, you just have to discover them. I am grateful to all the bicycle friends that I have come across, with whom I share daily because without them I would never have understood the meaning and now I offer you a little of my knowledge. Thank you!
