[ENGINE REVVING]
I think we're living times that we are so distracted
and that we need to just be more with ourselves.
I don't see the free ride zone as a place for other people.
It's like a piece of art for me.
I just go out there on my own and am
just present in a moment.
It was very special for me to have that piece of land
in the movie, the same movie that I was watching as a kid.
CAIO: Why do I get so much stock from that,
and it's not part of my cultural experience,
it's not part of where I live?
I don't even have a winter.
I can ride all year.
The dirt here is perfect.
And we have a lot of forest near the city,
so it's like-- what's missing?
And that missing part is what I've
been trying to look for the past 15 years.
If you think about painting a picture, when
the paintbrush touches the canvas
is when you are connected to it.
Once that picture is done, it's done.
You have to do another one.
But it's not the same with trails.
Once you build a trail, you can actually be part of that.
If you like the paint brush, you just
like going there over and over, and over again.
It's the best feeling.
[CHAIN REVVING]
Sometimes I go to a forest or a mountain
and I want to build something.
The first two things is like, where is it going to start
and where is it going to end?
That's not the important thing, because it's like
like-- you are born and you're going to die.
What matters is what you put in between those things.
First time I saw it, I thought it was just kind of small
and didn't exactly knew what to do with it, but I had Ed.
Ed is the best home track builder that I know.
I had to put him on board.
I called Ed immediately and said, hey, man, I've got a plan
and I've got a piece of land.
You've got to help me out.
We are at my property in Rio de Janeiro, where
I have this home track.
I want to have a conscious vision
of what mountain biking represents
for me and for other people.
The bike park was something that I
wanted to put there so people can just look at it and like,
this is how you can start mountain biking.
This is how you can have that first introduction
to just go out there and see what it's like,
and then go to the trails.
I don't want to have a plan and just talk about it.
I want to live it.
I still feel that I'm not 100% sure of what I'm doing,
but I think I will feel like that until the day I die.
When I was growing up, me and my friends would make two jumps
and that's it.
We kept riding the whole weekend, all morning,
all evening, and all night.
And just ordering pizza and talking about life.
I have this memory and it's like the best days of my life.
But they're not gone.
Today was a day just like that.
Yesterday was a day just like that.
And tomorrow-- well, if I'm alive tomorrow,
that's going to be a day just like that one.
This is mountain biking for me.
It's like this is what my kid version of myself
wants me to do.
It's either you do something that you love and you have
a little bit of doubt, or it's either
you don't do anything that you love and you're still in doubt.
So by the end of day, you've got to do what you want to do.
If you find that this thing, building trails and being there
and riding with the friends is something that connects you
to your true self, make something out of it
that you're proud of, not just exist,
and then one day you die.
