“I’ve been called a Jack-of-all-trades, but you can call me ‘Chico’.”

Since I was a little boy, my mother has complained about my wild streak – bruised knees, small cuts and a broken arm or two. The thing is, that wild streak only grew stronger. My love for extreme sports and nature evolved into a fascination for vintage jeeps and motocross. Essentially just faster ways to explore Sintra.

“A beer and a good meal are the recipe for a happy life”

Addiction is not so bad if you’re addicted to the right stuff. In my case I can’t get enough of nature, jogging and travelling. As often as possible, I combine all three. My professional background is marketing and advertising, specialising in marketing intelligence. But the smartest thing I’ve learned is how to enjoy life. And you don’t need a degree to master what works for you.

“Some say I’m so chilled I could stop the polar ice caps melting.”

When you ride with me, there’s nothing to worry about. After all, only the present matters. I leave a wave of good vibes in my wake – whether that’s skating, sound design, making electronic music, spraying graffiti or drifting in jeeps. I always get the job done; no stress, no panic. Mostly so I can go home to my baby girl who’s so spoilt she’s basically a modern-day Sintra princess.

“Age is just a number”

When we say we’re like a family, we actually are. Yes, Errol is actually Andrés father but he fits in with our crew more like a brother. A curious person, human encyclopedia, champion chess and guitar player he can bring any man-made machine back to life. Born in Chile, Errol has travelled the world and lived in Morocco, Spain and the UK. But overall, there’s no place like Portugal.
