Unicycling has been a very special part of my life. It has been giving me the opportunity to represent my country and wag my flag.
I have been unicycling for over 17 years and so far I have been 3 times World Champion.

Here are some highlights about my unicycling trajectory:

Miss Universe Beauty Contest

Con algunas concursantes

I took part of the entertainment team that worked at the Miss Universe 2002. International Beauty Contest. It was held in San Juan, Puerto Rico and broadcasted through CBS. My legs were shown as I rode my 6 feet unicycle at the carnival with the candidates. That was a good opportunity to flirt with the most beautiful girls in the world (literally).

I traveled to Minneapolis, MN to participate at the MONDO Juggling Festival. I performed at the public show with my unicycle.

During the summer, 2001, I finished a Unicycling World Tour where I went to Europe, Japan & Australia.

I took part of the following events:

  • European Unicycle Tour: A group of World-Class unicyclists rode across Europe on unicycles. We rode over 1,000 miles from Cologne, Germany to Barcelona, Spain.
    (Check out this link to see lots of interesting pictures and stories)

  • Eurocycle 2001: The European Unicycle Meet in Plymouth, England.

  • 6th Annual World Games Unicycle Convention (WGUC): A world unicycling competition held at Akita, Japan. This is a big step towards making unicycling become an Olympic Sport.

  • Australian Unicycle Nationals (UniNats): I have been invited as a special guest (as a "recognized expert in this field") in order to conduct workshops, give demonstrations and "raise the standards within Australia". It was held in Canberra, Australia.

  • Between unicycling events, I visited unicycling clubs around the world and shared tricks and experiences with the different riders.


    During the tour, I obtained the following awards
