Winner of the 2016 Montreux Scooter Championship. As a boy, Alexis Letellier was a keen footballer and one day asked his mother whether she could cut his hair like his hero. These days, he admits that looking like bald-headed France captain Zinedine Zidane might not have been his best move. Alexis put his dreams of becoming a top-flight footballer on hold when he got his first scooter aged 13. He started to ride with friends on the Parisian skate parks and quickly started to develop a passion for freestyle scooter riding. His new goal was to enter events such as the Montreux Scooter Contest in Switzerland. And in 2016, he finally realised his dream - and went on to win it. “The key thing about scooter riding is that you need to practice and I’m not talking about hours and hours, but years and years,” says Alexis. “Tricks and crazy stunts just takes time.” But the more ambitious the tricks, the more likely you are to suffer injury and Alexis has taken his fair share of knocks. “I broke my ACL, some ribs, my fibula and also damaged cartilage in the knee too,” he says. “I’ve spent a lot of time in rehab from crashing on my scooter. But I’m not worried about it, I just want to ride all the time. It’s what I love.” Three years ago, he moved to Barcelona to enjoy its sunshine and thriving scooter scene and until recently he shared an apartment there with fellow eSC rider Matis Neyroud.

Key player in Madrid’s street scooter riding scene, setting up Street Jump events around the city. Javi Espinosa has just spent a year working in the only scooter shop in Madrid. As both a salesman and mechanic, Javi’s work at ScooterXtreme has recently come to an end so he can concentrate on his final year of exams and prepare for eSC. Javi has been studying sports at the European University on the outskirts of the Spanish capital while building a career in the world of freestyle scooters. The 21 year old says his ambition is to create a scooter academy to foster a scene in the city to rival the scene in Barcelona. In fact, Javi and his five younger sisters were born and raised in Barcelona before his father’s work took them to Madrid when Javi was 14. Two years earlier, he discovered scooters, having been given one as a surprise present. Since then he has been at the forefront of the Madrid street scene, helping to set up Street Jump events where competitors have the opportunity to win scooter parts and accessories. “The main difference between street scooter and park scooter is that we don’t ride to be the best,” he says. “We ride for the love of it and to share the sport with others.” Inspired by Dakota Schuetz’s exploits on YouTube, Javi’s highlight of his career so far was getting the call up to do eSC to race against his hero.‍
