Interview<br />

A lot of irony, great motivation, nasty accidents. But I enjoy the path<br />

KS_Why do you want to make the buzz with your challenge?<br />

As many things in life, it’s all about marketing, how many<br />

people are out there doing amazing things? Millions! But,<br />

if they don't make the buzz, they won’t inspire anybody, all<br />

that amazing things will be lost in time like tears in the rain<br />

(Blade Runner, hehehe...). If I got the Blind Judge 5 alone in a<br />

Lots of Pullups. Several attempts of<br />

Blind Judge 5. Hard work improving<br />

injury and I got closer to the trick<br />

than ever! I do lots of attempts and<br />

everyone is closer than the last one.<br />

But I broke my femoral biceps in the<br />

same lagoon I broke my meniscus<br />

months ago! I have to stop my attempts.<br />

Currently, I have totally recovered
