Translated from the original 2025 interview.
What’s the story behind L’Horta, and why did you start the club?
Well, L’Horta goes back… probably about 14 years. There used to be a club called L’Horta Sud, which isn’t the current one. We started a new club, keeping the name to honour our city and our area: L’Horta means “the market garden”. That’s how the new Horta came about, but without “Sud” this time, because we also have people from Horta Nord, north of Valencia, like Andreu.
How long have you been skating together as a team? What brought you together?
We each started skating on our own, but we’ve been skating together as a team for about 8 or 9 years. Our home, L’Horta, brought us together again.
How do you organise the team for this event?
Everyone has their role. Andreu is our secretary, for example, and he’s a world champion too. Chuso is the treasurer and the only one officially living in Cullera, so he’s the real local. I’m the president, but that was a unanimous decision by the team, not something I was chasing, hahaha.
Why did you choose Cullera for the event?
Cullera is our legendary local spot in Valencia. We’ve been skating this road for 15 years. It’s a unique place: a mountain beside the sea, incredible views… It was the perfect place for a freeride.
What made you want to put on an event like this?
We’d always dreamed of putting something on here. We wanted to get more people into downhill, a sport we love. We wanted Spain, and especially Valencia, to have an event of our own. Other regions, like Catalonia and Galicia, already had established events, but we were missing ours! And there’s always been a downhill scene here.
How does it feel to see it all happen?
It’s hugely satisfying. We don’t make money from this, but seeing 120 people skating the road where we grew up and trained for so many years… It’s incredible. It’s worth all the effort and the grey hairs that organising it gives us. Seeing people happy makes up for all of it.
