Please welcome KDM's 1st International freestyle rider. 10 yr old, Marek from Latvia.
KDM would like to welcome our newest team member, ten year old Marek Kuhalskis from the European country of Lativa.
Marek has been riding and competing in freestyle for two years and actually finished second overall in the 2012 season. When asked his opinion on the differences between BMX and Freestyle in Lativa vs. the US he stated, "BMX and freestyle are the same but we live in two different worlds." He believes the US riders have a lot more advantages such as multiple skate parks in a relatively close proximity and good weather year round. He went on to say, "It is much harder to become well known on the freestyle world stage living in East Europe" however, with hard work and determination he believes he can succeed.
Marek has big plans for the 2013 season. He plans on doing a lot of training, participating in various competitions in Latvia and other European countries and do his best to come out on top. He will begin the season by traveling to Barcelona with team ParBMX in January where they will ride and shoot material for their next video. Marek also hopes to attend Camp Woodward Europe this spring.
Marek appreciates the fact that KDM is designed for kids and that the gear is striking and has a recognizable style. If given the opportunity he would love to come to the US and do a freestyle tour with other members of team KDM. In fact, he would love to see how the American boys ride and learn from their style. Marek is stoked to be a member of KDM and hopes to represent the brand well in the upcoming season. KDM news looks forward to reporting on your future successes. Welcome to the team!
