From when I was young I was attracted to see a motorcycle go by, and growing I associated the word “freedom” with it, in the diaries of the middle school, I attached photos of motocross bikes on holidays and promised myself that one day I would have one .
My parents were against it because never been motorcyclists, they saw it as a useless and dangerous expense, so I started saving money to buy it.
When I was 16 I did my first job, mechanic, and with the money I got my motorbike driving license and I got a TM 125cc that I use on street but also used in the backyard.
But I was still not satisfied; I wanted something more, I wanted to feel even more free, so I began to try to take the wheels off the ground and make the first jumps, then I approached the world of freestyle motocross, I start to watching the videos on the internet I tried to understand how to build a ramp and a landing.
So together with my friends, we created the first landing and bought the iron to build a ramp and after the first jumps I realized that I could no longer do without it.
Then I start to do it in a more serious sacrificing the party in the weekends with friends to ride my bike and after adding new figures to my trick list I began to do events all over Italy and then with the acquisition, after months of work, of the Backflip I went out in Russia, Europe and South America.
