“I like the feeling of freedom and adrenaline that you can’t get from other sports”

I started doing Downhill five years ago because I like the feeling of freedom and adrenaline that you can’t get from other sports. You get in touch with nature and you step away from the city and routine.

Every day is different and every race is different. You travel looking for the right spots, good atmosphere and friends: This is the best combination, there is no doubt about that!
One of my favorite hobbies is photography, which is something I also do professionally. I do portraits, fashion and sport, but what I love photographing the most is my friends skating. Another one of my hobbies is traveling, getting to know other countries, people and different cultures. Every time I get a chance to, I am planning some trip or escapade. I practice a lot of sports: running, swimming as well as crossfit, which I took on months ago, and it is the most complete form of training I have tried so far. I don’t watch TV but I am a big fan of series!
