I feel mastering my skates and my balance, it's really good satisfaction to feel mastering always harder tricks.

How did you create the team ?
It's really hard to make a team, you always have to choose between very good skaters. After, they have to try the skates and if they like them, we go on for the team. If there was enough money, I would like to support more skaters. You see, all is about money...
