BMX PUNTA ARENAS

PUNTA ARENAS is a small city in Magallanes, at south of Chile (South America, if you're still lost haha)
... Really at the south!  :)

The weather its pretty cold all year although in summer is not that bad :)

Anyway,  I'm still impress of how many riders there are! There are more than 10 girls riders and you all know that's a LOT, so imagine how many boys bmxers are!

I remember when I went in January of 2010, there were tons of riders but not really much where to ride at. This was the jumpbox they had, besides a couple other ghetto ramps.

They use to ride a lot of street as well, including one of the most important plaza in the city. As usual, people (not riders) didn't like that and they keep saying that those young kids where not doing anything but destroying a national building. We all know that nobody rides street to DESTOY something... If it happens its just cause its not build properly hahah. Anyway, they got all together and went to talk to the government that if people wanted them out there, they needed somewhere else to go and ride, meaning, they needed a bikepark... long story short, GEOPARK, an oil and gas company...yup, nothing to do with BMX, but they wanted to help the community, and that's what they did. They built some ramps and for the inauguration they did a BMX contest with riders from all over South America.  

That's when the sport started to get bigger there, the people would know about the activity the kids where doing and they would support it, as well as the government building more parks. 

After that, GEOPARK did two more contest, another one in Punta Arenas, and a third one in Puerto Natales (another city in Magallanes). Not only riders from South America participated but also Dennis Enarson , Nina Buitrago and Colin Mccay were part of it!!!

The union and hard work from all the Punta Arenas' riders has made all this possible, I really admire they're participation. This is what we need everywhere to keep make BMX alive!

Anyway, BMX keeps getting bigger as well as the contest. This next one is in October 29-30 in the new concrete park Punta Arenas has! Be part of it!!

Here are some pictures of this beautiful city!!

See? its not THAT cold always!! (that's my mom!)

I promise those are the best raspberries in the world!!!

Austin TX

Hey!

Made it to Austin, Texas! I'm here with Becci at Nina Buitrago's House trying to get used to the heat :) . The best time for riding is in the morning like at 8am.. but its not that easy to wake up at that time haha we still did it tho :D. Later we usually go swimming somewhere and then at night we ride again.

There are tons of places to ride here. We've been riding the house park, that has a street part and a sweet bowl, and the T-1 ramps!! I cant believe I got to ride there, its amazing! :D

We have stil one more week here so we're gonna try to go to Dallas and/or Tyler as well :)

So thats pretty much what we've been doing :)

BIG THANKS TO NINA FOR LETTING US STAY HERE AND BEING SO AWESOME! AND STONEY FOR EVERYTHING!

CALIFORNIA!

Hey!
After 2 weeks at home I decided to went overseas again, this time USA.
First stop was L.A., more specifically: X Games!  I can't believe I made it there, even though we still don't have a girls class there, we (Angie, Jessica, Nina and Mini) did some clinics for the girls to learn how to ride and get into BMX. Also I got to see BMX park and street as well as some Moto X finals which was great!! :)

After that we started our girls road trip around California. Our first stop was the Nike 6.0 park and then we drove to Woodward West. Unfortunately the car broke 2 hours away from it. Natalie and Morgan Wade help us and we made it to Camp, were we still are till the car get fixed. Although the car thing its bad, I guess this is the best place to get stuck haha :)
So thats what we've been riding theses days! Learning new stuff, relearning old stuff and just having fun!!!
Yesterday we got to ride the Mega Ramp and I'm happy to say that after some bad attempts I cleared it!!! :D 50 feet long!

Also I wanna mention that I'll have my own part in the CHICK FLICK VIDEO!!! (all girls video coming soon!)
So excited be part it ! thanksssss

BMX MASTERS 2011

I'm on my way back home now and I just wanna say THANK YOU for every single person that made the whole trip such an amazing trip! I could start mentioning them all but I guess its just better say thakns for ALL! :D
The last days in Czech Republic were super fun! I got ro ride at Zdenda and Ondra's local park and there was also a Rock festival going on in Hradec so I saw Paramore, United Flavour, Pendulum, among other cool bands!
Then we pack everything...which was not easy at all considering i could almost built up a new bike with all the parts I changed these last weeks ... and considering I'm a girl and yeah.. I had way much more clothes than what I really needed lol.  So anyway, we made it to Cologne for the BMX Masters!! The trip was like 8 hours driving but I guess I cant complain cause I almost slept it all haha :)
Masters was sick! Its always good to see everyone from everywhere! specially those who you don't get to see very often :)
The corse was super fun! And I dont know if you like it or not, but the fact that it was painted with colors made it even better hahah Its just happy to look at :)
I'm happy to say that I did almost everything I wanted at the finals and I got the first place :) following Mini with second and Angie with the third . Anyway, congrats to all the girls that rode!!!
Or course every good contest comes with a good party so yeah, it was definitely a good weekend :)

I want so say special thanks for Elisa that let me stay at her house, my parents for being able to be there supporting me even more! and all the 34R team!!!!! they are the best team ever! I couldn't be happier for being part of it. Im gonna miss you all!!!!
