What bike are you riding? Wildman Pro
What is the best part of being on the SE team? SE is one of the first BMX companies, and it's awesome to be part of it. They have a good variety of bikes, from old school style to the newest technology, so there's an SE bike for everyone.
Give us a favorite memory from BMX? Riding my first comps like the Core Tour, is a good one. Going to Sheep Hills and riding with all the pro locals was a good experience too.
Which riders have inspired you? I always looked up at Cory Nastazio and Stephen Murray when I was in Argentina. Coming to CA and riding with these guys was really crazy. I also look up to Luke Parslow. It's not only the way they ride, they have a good personality off the bike too. After Stephen's accident, he's my best inspiration now and I'll always look up to him.
Who are your regular riding buddies? Luke Parslow, TJ Ellis, Bo, Nasty, Carter Holland and my friend Chino.
Where is your favorite place to ride? Nasty's trails and dacompound in Riverside.
Are you taller than Todd Lyons? Haha, of course I am.
What are your goals for your riding in 2008? I'm going to Red Bull Elevation and that's the best dirt jumping contest I've ever ridden so I can't wait to be there. I'm also going to Suzuki Masters in Germany and that will be my first time in Europe so I'm stoked on that too. These two contests are more just like having good times and that's why I like them.
What do you do when you aren’t on your bike? I'm into trance and electro music so I go to raves a lot. I just bought a mixer so I'm playing music at home sometimes.
Who would you like to thank for your success in riding? Todd Lyons helps me out a lot, also I want to thank my friends Javier and Chino because they helped me out a lot when I just got here from Argentina. Also, my family because although I moved too far away from them, they keep supporting me in what I do.
What is your training or practice schedule like? I ride the trails in the mornings most of the times, but I don't really have a schedule, I ride like 4 to 5 days a week.
How far can you wheelie? I haven't tried a far wheelie in a long time, but I remember couple years ago I did 5 blocks. I guess I could beat that if I try, but I don't feel like doing that now!
