Γνωρίστε την ομάδα: 360BS - Βαρκελώνη, Ισπανία

Can you give us a brief history of your store?

360bs was born in 2005 from the desire and enthusiasm to work on what I like the most, bicycles. Since there was no BMX shop in Barcelona, I decided to open a small one at the same time as we were doing shows and organizing jams and trips all over Spain with our BMXs. Today I continue with the same enthusiasm and desire for my little shop in Barcelona, which is known all over the world since we love helping all the riders who come to visit my city with their BMX bikes.

What type of riders are part of your community and what makes your community so special?

Last year, just after THE CIRCLE awards ended, I felt that it had been great to be third in the world and that this project is seen by many cyclists of all ages, genders and cultures and that there was an opportunity to send a message. My message is clear, WE ARE NOT ALL EQUAL, BUT WE ALL DESERVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES and women have been very underrepresented in BMX. So I decided to make a team full of girls and it has been a brutal and fun experience.

Thank you, Gina, Francina, Queen and Khate for being part of this adventure. Now is your time! My mother is very proud of me, heh, heh... #bmxqueens

What’s your favourite BMX video?

Federal bikes - FTS full video. It’s a long movie, haha. It’s my favorite because I always feel inspired by my fav riders, how they fight to catch those hard tricks, the patience, the level… wtf it’s sick, they are brave, they are motivated and with Rich Forne behind the camera completing the magic ❤️.

Who is your favourite BMX filmer?

My favorite BMX filmer is Fernando Marmolejo. It’s crazy because he gives him 110%. I was even surprised, haha. Not only catching the perfect clip on camera, but he is also catching good riders and how they are fighting with themselves. With a lot of patience, love and support, he believes in you and does his best to transmit all those feelings to everyone. Respect for him as a person as a professional as a soul✨

Tell us what’s good about your local scene:

I’m from Bogota, Colombia, and my scene is growing all the time - boys and girls, a lot of style everywhere, but the girls' scene is getting motivated all over my country right now as the world has never seen before! In my country it’s very difficult as women to ride BMX but who cares? However, we are creating something bigger for the world together. ❤️

Federal Bikes FTS 2019

Who is your favourite BMX filmer?

Fernando Marmolejo. The connection between the filmer and the athlete does not have to do with just one part, but with everything, it is the one that takes you to the next level, and makes you believe in everything you are capable of giving. It leads you to overcome yourself, with your potential, in the right way. Thank you very much for supporting us in this project where the team was made up of only girls, and making us see how we want to see ourselves when riding.

What’s your favourite BMX video?

One of the first videos I saw was one of Aaron Ross’ in 2012 for Empire BMX.. As soon as I saw it I liked it a lot. I always watched it before going out to ride a bike with my friends - the songs in the video and the tricks inspired me to learn something new.

Who is your favourite BMX filmer?

Marmolejo is my favorite filmmaker because he motivates me to do things that I had never done before. In each photo or video, the feelings that one goes through to do a trick and the happiness of sharing them with other people are reflected.

Tell us what’s good about your local scene:

Currently, in Colombia, you will find very few places to ride bikes but several BMX riders have built ramps and dirt jumps to be able to learn new things. Learning, sharing and enjoying is the good thing.

What’s your favourite BMX video?

Above Below, a perfect mix between the documentary and the action, perfect for someone who’s never seen a BMX video. And for sure the music and the filming are the best.

Who is your favourite BMX filmer?

Rich Forne. It’s not my style but he has a unique vision and his editing is simply the best.

Tell us what’s good about your local scene:

Good question… The scene is growing year by year and in Spain, we are lucky because we have a lot of international riders from all over the world living here and that makes the BMX scene grow. It’s not good to see how the bad street life is consuming this beautiful sport step by step… But if I have to say something, the female scene is gradually getting bigger and that makes me happy.
