'Not Far From Home' is a video series facing the new reality that this COVID-19 crisis has brought to us. Since there will not be any racing for me this summer I have decided to use this time to explore Spain and enjoy the riding spots that are near me. This first episode was filmed at the beginning of the year in Malaga while trying to get away from the cold winter in Madrid. We went to some of the classic spots Like Mijas or Alhaurin de la Torre and discovered some new trails with the help of the locals in Torremolinos. One week of good times captured in by Nacho Trueba (video) and Kike Abelleira (photo).

Next up was a secret spot in Torremolinos. A big storm the week before had left a lot of puddles in between the jumps, but luckily the dirt here dealt pretty well with water if you put some work into it.
Stay tuned for the next episode of

Huge shout out to the trail builders.
