Sporting philosophy / motto"In my spare time I like to watch a lot of races. Really the special rides, world records and track records. Very inspiring. I have always been very passionate about this kind of thing and have learned a lot from it. Technical, tactical. That certainly helped me develop into the skater I am today."
