Histoire: (univ-nantes.fr)
«Since my beginning in 1990, I practiced the roller at St Sébastien s/Loire. because my brother was doing it and I wanted to do like him. At my very first try, I got good results and it push me to continue. There are many things in my sport that I like. The roller allow adrenaline rush in a 60km/h sprint or in big descent at speed near 100km/h. We have a freedom sensation.»
