I'm glad I moved to Malaga because...
Malaga is magic.
The shops, the streets, are so Spanish.
The people is so simple...
Is happy everyday.
I can live the life here, and don't need think about ride.
Then when I cross that barrier, and I fly to the north...
Wide Open.
When I am young, my dream every time is do something in America.
Because, uh, the best riders are from America.
When I am 17 years old, I fly there.
To do a Supercross race, and then Freestyle show or demo.
With SMP riders.
Tommy Clowers.
Micky Dymond.
Brian Deegan.
And I'm so excited because, woah...
I never see a stadium with more than 50,000 or 60,000 people there.
The first time I saw Edgar, I remember that, you know, freestyle was just sorta evolving, especially in southern California.
SMP developed this team.
And I remember they came out and did sorta an intermission show, over the finish line.
They all came out in their black and white SMP gear, and they're all doing their tricks.
I remember Edgar rode out, and just started throwing like, supermans, like straight, like high. Elevated off his bike.
The way, his style and how big he was doing the tricks, I mean.
He sorta just, was on a different level than the other guys.
His legacy in Freestyle Motocross, I mean he's one of the OG's.
I remember when I saw Carey Hart doing the first Heart Attacks.
Or Brian Deegan when he do the first seat grab.
I do the seat grab, and then I do double grab, and then I do a seat grab Indy, and then I do a heart attack.
I push the limits, every time.
When I do the final of Freestyle Nationals
My phone sound, and my mom say me... I lost, I lost, I lost your sister.
And I say what? What the hell, what is the problem, where is my sister, where is my sister? And uh....
And then, yeah, massive accident on the freeway.
Just after that, my mind change a lot.
Because I love the life.
I love the life, and then I don't want die.
It's... I'm scared, because I don't want die.
I start think about, this is stupid, do more impossible tricks... for me.
I sold my park, to Andre Ulaconde.
And then, I stop.
He sold his park in Spain, got rid of all his bikes, all his ramps, and was done.
I don't know what it was on, but someone told me Edgar was in town, and that's when me and Nate were riding together like every single day.
So I'm like, I'm gonna hit him up and go ride.
See if I can get him out if his funk.
One day, at 7:30 in the morning, my phone sound.
And he say, hey I go to ride today. You want to ride Edgar?
Banana face. Do you want to ride banana face?
And me, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm so excited, and I go to...
Nate Adam's house.
I saw Nate, Take, and Twitch.
When you ride with someone everyday, it kind of gets stale and old.
And then to bring someone new into the mix, it like, revamps you.
And I practice my first day there, and then my mind change.
I feel, oh, that passion when I am young another time.
I want to ride the moto.
Oh, that's my life, you know,
I don't know what is the name of this.
It's the best feeling ever...
Yeah.
When I take the Moto, as soon as I put Helmet...
Everything change.
I don't know, it's another man.
It's like, uh, superman.
My focus is...
Feel I want to jump.
Because I want to feel that small, small timing.
In the air, when I, oh, when I fly.
When you feel the flow there, you can do whatever.
That, that moment, woah. It's magic, it's magic!
I think he just loves being on his bike.
He doesn't have to be there to win or...
Either going to win or go to the hospital, that attitude.
You know he just wants to have fun. He wants to perform for his fans.
After, after that problem, of my sister.
After all my life.
The people make me the power to continue it.
The people of the crowd.
When the fans coming...
And I need to stay 2 or 3 or 4 hours doing...
Photos or signatures, or...
Just talking with kids or...
I, I love this.
He's just a showman.
He drops his bike in places, revs it up.
Grabs the mic, starts...
Just DJ’ing, I don't know what you call it.
I walk in this bar and...
You know there's Edgar up on a microphone just rapping in front of the whole bar, and it wasn't even and industry party.
So I mean the guys a crowd pleaser.
The dudes rapping, dancing...
I love feel connect with the crowd
For every freestyle dude that's been in this thing since the beginning.
At one point in your career everyones looked up to Edgar for something.
Because the dudes been around since day one.
Yeah he still rides like a teenager.
Cranks big old whips.
Still on the two-stroke.
Some guys stuck it out as long as they could and just can't do it no more.
And then there's dudes like, you know, Edgar that are still doing it and are competitive at it.
He medaled in, you know, Austin last year for whips.
So I mean until you stop Medaling, you're still relevant.
X Games for me is...
The top.
Because...
I remember when I am super young.
And I saw the first X Games in the world.
And I say well that's a dream.
Maybe one day I can do the X Games.
And then I remember when I do the first X Games.
I do a best whip but I finish, I don't know 5 or like this.
But I'm so happy because I stayed on X Games.
Then I start practice on a...
Do my whips more, way better.
And I win a medals.
My first medal in Brazil.
I finish second... I finsh second.
But I do a podium.
Then I take a medal and it's like, oh my god I have a medal from X Games! And it's like oh.
Well for me my career is done.
With this medal, just with my first medal.
But I continue it, I go to Barcelona.
I win in Barcelona and I cry there like a kid.
Because, dude, I have a gold.
Practice motocross, Supercross and freestyle my whole life for...
Win one medal in my life.
And today here in my house I win.
This this my dream you know.
Dude...
I have a gold, this is.
I continue with X Games.
I finish second another time in Munich.
Finally, this year.
I take the third position in America.
And then, I have four medals.
And it's for me... it's
I don't need... I don't need more.
He's still like 16 years old at heart.
I'm telling you, the guy is the happiest guy anywhere he goes.
I'm happy.
This is my best time in my career.
Now it's just ride for passion.
And feel that feelings. That moments, in the air.
When my body don't have power to ride on the bike...
And then I stop.
But you have a power, this is my life.
