2. STAY STRONG
• Three years ago I bought a
mountain bike and I started to
practice Downhill with some friends
that had bikes too. I was practicing
this sport for 1 year and I
participated in many competitions.

3. • I went to the most important
runways in Ambato like Casigana,
Pasaloma, Seguro. I went to other
cities too like Riobamba, Quito,
Salcedo, etc. I travelled each
weekend with my friends and
many afternoons too because in
the morning I studied at the Pio X
High School.

4. • I never have been scared
to the velocity so I was
really fast riding my bike.
After five months I won to
my friends that practiced
Downhill before I bought
my bike. I was good in this
extreme sport because I
didn´t need to stop only
down the mountain as fast
as I can.

5. • One time I had a competition in
Cunchibamba and I went to
there all the weekend with my
friends to practice. But the
runway wasn´t good and we
decided
to
leave
the
competition for our security. This
sport is very dangerous because
you can fall in rocks or crash
with some trees.

6. • One Sunday we decided to
practice in the Casigana´s track.
We went in the afternoon. I was
riding my bike in the mountain
and I saw a jump in the runway
so I accelerate a lot to jump this. I
could jump so I was talking with
some friends to try it again.

7. • The
next
time
I
was
descending first and my friend
second. We were riding really
fast and when I jumped I lost
the control of my bike and I fell
near
to
many
rocks
fortunately. I lost the oxygen
and I was near fainting. My
nose was bleeding but my
friend helped me.

8. • I broken my two arms that
day and broke the bike
too. My friend helped me
and we walked down. I
called to my father and he
brought a doctor. Then of
accident I came to my
home and my mom cried
but then she was happy for
see me live again.

9. • The accident helped me to be
strong and never have scare
because after the accident I
practiced Downhill still. Now I
don´t have time to this sport but
when I can I go to Casigana´s
track again and jump as far
away as I can.
