Evolution

Hi people!


Now, I will show you my evolution in this sport.

It all started when I was 14, in 2004. I started going with some friends down stairs in Estádio do Dragão. I quickly started to like and I wanted to buy another bike. I bought and began to evolve. I was evolving and modifing my bike everyday, and now I'm running in national and regional championships.

Now I'll show you some pictures of my great achievment:
