BIO
Born in Santiago, ChiIe and now living in Spring, Texas, I started racing motocross when I was 7. After a pretty successful “career” during my childhood and teen years in motocross racing in Chile as well as in Brazil, I moved to FMX when I was 16. I have been active in the FMX industry since 2003 when I moved to U.S.A.
Working with some of the most renowned extreme sports promoters and companies, I have managed to gain comprehensive exposure to the most diverse competitions and demonstration events. I have also participated successfully at the highest levels of FMX competitions obtaining important titles and prizes. My unique style and personalized execution of the most difficult FMX tricks has placed me at the top of the Latin American scene and amongst the best FMX riders worldwide.
