Trial Promises. Nerea Artidiello

promesas_nereaI am an 18-year-old girl who always lived close to the world of motorcycles since my father was a trial rider and now my brother (Adrián Artidiello Rueda) is a trial rider. My hobby began linked to following my brother’s career. I went to all the races with them and I was very proud of Adrian and that made me want to do the same. The first time I got on a motorcycle was with an invention of my father’s, then they left me a beta. And that’s how I started practicing trials a few years ago 2 years. 

It’s true that when I started I thought it was much easier . Looking at Adrian it seemed easier to me. Maybe I missed having picked up the technique on a Trial bike and then using it on the bike, as would be natural. I went straight to the bike. At the moment it seems that there is no other girl in Asturias doing Trial, so my mother at first believed that this point was going to condition me in some way and she preferred that I leave it. Also for the rest of the efforts that it entails, such as stopping going out and getting into the habit of training.

I thank my brother for all his support and effort so that I can continue with my hobby, as well as everything he teaches me about the Trial bike.

INTERVIEW 

TRIALWORLD: Tell us about your plans for 2011.

NEREA ART
IDIELLO:
Train a lot, keep learning and enjoy the races.

TW: How do you organize yourself to reconcile training and studies?

NA: Well, I train once a week and on the weekend. But I try to keep my studies up to date. Above all, I try to train on weekends because I also like climbing and until last year I also practiced javelin. On weekends I usually train with my brother, who is mainly the one who guides me technically.

TW: Tell us what your training is like during a normal week of class and what it’s like in another week when there’s a race on the weekend.

NA: It’s the same. It’s just that when there’s a race there’s more nerves and I’m counting the days until it arrives. 

TW: Is it necessary to complement motorcycle training with physical preparation or is it not so important at your age?

NA: Well, yes, it’s important. You have to be in good physical shape, and you also learn to have a life where sport is necessary. 

TW: Where do you think is the key and the difference between a young guy who starts doing trials to have fun and another who wants to be a professional?

NA: Well, if you want to be a professional, you are obsessed with always winning. And yet, those of us who started without having the goal of winning a national championship or something like that, I think there are moments when we enjoy it more because we don’t feel so pressured. I will experience that pressure in my own flesh this year. And the truth is that I’m really looking forward to it. I’m sure I’ll be able to learn a lot of things in a national and I  hope to be able to go further. In addition, my team will be my brother and I and that makes me very excited.

 TW: What do you like most about racing?

NA: Everything. The atmosphere and even the nerves I went through. The feeling I take back home is usually very good. Even if sometimes at the end I have anger because I didn’t get some area as I wanted. I’m always looking forward to coming back and doing what I haven’t done until I do. 

TW: Anything that doesn’t convince you?

NA: Aid. In the world of motorcycles I see that there are not many aids and in trials maybe even less. 

TW: Would you like to dedicate yourself professionally to Trial or do you think it is a good springboard to do other off-road specialties? See Mario Román…

NA: Yes, I would like to, although seeing that there are very few people who  make a living from this and everything they have to achieve to make it possible. I think it’s very difficult and even more so if you’re a girl. 

TW: What do you think of the rulebook? Do you think it favors the arrival of young promises?

NA: Yes, of course. It’s a sometimes complicated regulation because you also have to take into account a bit of strategy, but I like it. I think it makes it easier for a lot of people who wouldn’t participate if it weren’t for these rules. There are people who say that this is not trial but I still apply the trial technique that my brother teaches me so…   

 

TW: Do you do a lot of media to stand out in Trial or does the skill of the rider and his perseverance in training count more?

NA: Man, the bike does a lot but the skill that the rider has is very important and what each one of us insists on in training much more. You have to be pr
acting more often.
 

TW: Finally, tell us where you would like to go in the world of Trial and in what timeframe you would like to achieve it.

NA: To the top and  the sooner the better. I’m very competitive and sometimes I’m in a hurry to see what happens. If I get what I want.
