Avila's words - "When I started filming I never thought that this would identify me so much, I am from a relatively small city, where what I do is seen as mocking or strange, that I am "wasting my time" but they were never obstacles to retiring, when I moved to Medellín for a few months in 2022, I was very shy and I felt very small in front of many riders, and high quality Filmers in the city, until once I met Fernapinillos, he was one of those first people who believed in me and it gave me a lot of confidence to continue doing what I love to do so much today, thanks to all those bikers, Filmers and people who are part of the movement for giving me that welcome and not making me feel excluded, especially Fernapinillos, Nicoherrera, Fray Contreras, Teomazo, Juanma, Julián, Charles, Ochoa, Mau, Manguito and many places in the city, all of Medellín who taught me very good things, thank you, I love you!
