the discipline can be

Furthermore, on January

announced the entry
of two new riders among
the ranks of its team, and
for the first time in the

its maximum acrobatic
expression at global level
and the young American
rider Fred Hope who although
being only 15 years
old has made himself
known all over the world

and his extraordinary talent.
