A bit About Him
We asked Rui Mimoso a few questions to get to know him a litle better and anticipate a bit of what he will brig us in august, during the Slackline European Cup in Fornos de Algodres, Portugal.
How do you find out the slackline?
How and when do you start slackline?
I tried it out for the first time in late 2012, when I went to meet two friends of mine, in a park in Covilhã, who had a slackline mounted and were trying to balance themselves up there. But when I really wanted to practice slackline was when I met trickline. At that time I was practicing climbing and in an event of this, there were some guys doing slackline, but they were doing something I had never seen, jumps and acrobatics on the line, which immediately aroused my attention and desire to do the same. In the same end I bought my first slack kit and never stopped again.
What was your first personal victory in the slackline?
My first big win was when I became a national champion in 2014, on the ASPT national circuit. It was a very special moment and I got even more motivated to look for more.
With this victory came the opportunity to participate in international competitions and join one of the most important teams in the world.
How did slackline change your routine and body?
Wich was your worst injury?
I was soon assisted in the place, later taken to the hospital, where I receive the news that I had to be operated, because otherwise I would never be able to turn my arm again. Luckily it went well, continuing today to compete at the highest level, to make a normal life, despite having a “almost” like robocop arm! eheheheh
What were the main competitions in which you participated and which was the most important to you?
It was a dream tha came true!
How have you met Monkeybiz?
