How did the 2017 season go for you? It wasn’t the best year for me, lots of change in my life. I moved to a different city and I couldn’t race any international race. My overall place in local championship was 2nd.

Whats are your plans/goals/hopes for the 2018 season? I live in a new city (Monterrey), I got a new job training kids, and everything set up for this season. I’m ready to have the best year of my career. The plan for this year is race as much as I can. I have my tickets for the worlds cups, I have to get my place to represent Mexico this year at the worlds in Baku and we race the Centro American games in Colombia. I want to finish this year and say that this was the best year of my life.

Long term BMX goals? Worlds in Baku 2018 for this year. 2020 Tokyo … I have to be there!

What one thing would you do to improve the sport? More advertisement and marketing about this sport locally and internationally.
