FMX RIDER OF THE DECADE VOTE Legends Day 7 – Dany Torres

Dany Torres comes from a small village called Arahal, in Sevilla-Spain. Dany started riding bikes at a very young age . When he was 3 years old Santa Clause brought me my first bike.

I’ll let Dany tell you the rest.

“I spent most of my time doing Mx and SX championships until I tried FMX at the age of 15 and this changed my life.

I started doing easy tricks and little by little I managed to do more difficult tricks until I decided I needed to build my own foam pit to go for bigger tricks

At that moment, I had to choose between MX or FMX, and it was an easy decision to make, I wanted to do FMX full time although I keep doing some MX as I really love it too.

My FMX career started in Estepona, thanks to my great friend Javi Gonzalez, who gave me the chance to try it. Three years later I went to some bigger events, and was invited to Red Bull Xfighters in Las Ventas, which gave a big push to my career and level…

In 2007 I got invited to X Games, one of my biggest dreams, I would love to have another invitation to go there again ¡

Another important event for me is X-Knights in Costa Rica, which I have won 3 years in a row, and some other events in Europe like SX Bercy, Tignes Airwaves etc

The events in Spain are also very important in my life, one feels at home and the crowd really makes me feel great and comfortable.

Today, my priorities and goals are the same I had when I started, keep on riding and doing as many events as possible but the most important thing is to have FUN, “where some see fear, I find Fun”.

Thanks to my family, my father specially, he is there everyday helping and supporting me all the time, and thanks to all of you for reading this and trying to get to know me a little bit better.”
