11 months on a Freebord… and as the year comes to an end, all I feel is gratitude.

My closure is the ROY — but honestly, no matter the result, I’ve already won.
Because I met people who changed the way I ride, the way I learn, and the way I see this sport.
Every single one of you shaped the rider I am today.
@quentin_streum the one who pushed me to give ROY a go when I was still thinking 2026. I had the honour of being your online student, and your guidance made a huge difference.

The Freebord Ladies — my first event, my first taste of this community, and the French style. Your support means everything.
And
@hedda.way always sharing riding and community wisdom — stay strong sendy girl 🖤
@adrien_mainand the coach — endless knowledge, fixing those tiny details nobody else sees.
@master_0wl trusted me from day one and gave me the warmest, funniest support.
@pierro_freebord @loic_garel sharing knowledge, inspiration, and showing what the pro level looks like.
@less_work_more_freebord showing me the other side of Freebord: the vision, the values, the future.
@human_crayon rides, laughs, and good vibes all the way.
@3z.beatbox @jonriderlife in just two events, we shared lines I’ll remember forever. It’s the first time I saw real steeze live.
@marsouindu42 giving me so many tips from the very beginning.
The US crew —
@coreyloosearrow with tricks and motivation,
@iammycopy pushing my style,

@joao.tavares5 who opened his home to me and my sister, showed us spots, boards, and family.

@sixwheeldrifter for so many tips and massive motivation with those epic runs!
The Greek Crew

@dominik.dedie @bang.seom @adnane33_ @vstsk8 @yansoune_ @mdqfreebord.arg always sending love an motivation.
And I’m probably missing many more… but that’s the point:
I am the rider I am because of all of you.
Thank you for everything.
