Started Inline Skating

It was right after a friend's trip to ice skate in Viseu that I realized I wanted a new hobby that would get me outdoors more often.

As a child, I was always energetic and loved balancing indoor and outdoor activities, so I wanted to bring back that balance to my life.

I bought the cheapest skates I could find and a set of protective gear, and started practicing on my own. It gave me that feeling I was craving: learning something new, experimenting through trial and error, and feeling progress with every session.

After just a few months, it started to feel natural. I could move freely, brake, jump, perform manuals, and confidently tackle pipes and pools in a more aggressive style.
