Ti presentiamo il team: ACTION WHEELS - MADRID, SPAGNA
"Il BMX si è sviluppato da quando abbiamo aperto nel 1997 e ha un grande potenziale per crescere ancora di più"
Ti presentiamo il proprietario del negozio: Ricardo Serrano
Puoi raccontarci brevemente la storia del tuo negozio?
Il nostro negozio ha aperto nel 1997: era il primo negozio dedicato esclusivamente alla BMX, che all’epoca era ancora poco diffusa. Importavo ricambi dagli Stati Uniti e conoscevo tutti i clienti, dato che la scena era piccola e molto diversa da com’è oggi. Da allora la BMX è cresciuta e ha un grande potenziale per crescere ancora.
Che tipo di rider fanno parte della tua comunità e cosa la rende così speciale?
A Madrid ci sono tanti rider hardcore che amano davvero la BMX. Madrid è una città dove d’estate fa un caldo pazzesco e d’inverno si gela, e visto che non ci sono bike park al coperto, i rider fanno fatica ad andare in bici, ma nonostante tutto continuano a pedalare alla grande e a spingersi oltre i propri limiti. Madrid ha tantissimi spot fantastici per lo street: ne vedrai sicuramente alcuni davvero belli nel nostro video!
