Favourite competitors to ride against and watch:
The rider I like to compete with the most is Mikaili Sol because she helps me push my limits, and I love to compete against all the girls really because it is a nice challenge
2018 goals:
My goal is to get more experience because I’m still young. I also want to have fun and just to do my best against all these awesome adult riders.
How do you train?:
I mostly train by doing freestyle so I need to get used to this new format. I had never done a kiteloop until a week ago so it’s a new experience and new challenge for me. I spend winters in Brazil riding freestyle everyday but I’m also a black belt in Taekwondo. I train hard doing freeletics workouts and I eat healthily too.
