INTERVIEW
What are you looking for to accomplish?
As I am already a 30 year old professional athlete, I am lucky enough to have accomplished more than what I even had in mind by performing a back flip in an official gap.
What would be your greatest achievement?
My greatest achievement is that with the help of freestyle motocross, I have traveled around the world and managed to turn my hobby into my profession.
What kind of difficulties does your sport’s performance involve?
The first difficulty is mainly financial since FMX is an expensive sport plus the cost of transferring your bike in places you should be since you cannot drive around with it. The second difficulty is that in Greece, there aren’t many professional riders and it’s hard to organize something big cause you’re on your own.
What makes you feel satisfied when performing your sport?
When I ride my bike, what matters for me the most is the sense of freedom I get and the fact that I experience this very moment so intense that is like nothing else in the world matters
Where do you practice your techniques when being alone?
I was lucky enough to have some very good friends who gave me an open field in Livadia, about 100km away from Athens. This is where I have set up my personal motocross piste and practice.
What do you do during your training which is key to your success?
I try to redo the same tricks I perform in shows but even more impressive just for me to enjoy and of course I always try to learn new ones.
Who would you say is your biggest fan and why?
I have seen people from all ages cheering up for me but it doesn’t matter to me who the biggest fan is as long as I make people smile with what I do.
What is the best piece of advice you have been ever given?
You have to start thinking that tomorrow is the day that you’ll make it!
What are your future plans?
My future plans include the making of 2 new videos in 2016 and to practice on some new tricks that look scary to me for now.
What are your tips for those who begin now?
If you want to be successful in what you do, the more you train the better. You have to be able to make all the right moves and take it one step at the time. You will then realize that things are easier than they look up to a certain level.
