Did we get your attention with that title? Well, that's what three upstanding Australia dwellers have chosen to name themselves. They also don't mind to be called more child-ears appropriate XC BeachTeam Without further a do, let's give the floor to Woody Raasveldt, Mårten Christiansson & Matthew Collits. " ...Well, we're one Aussie (Matt), one Dutch (Woody) and a Swede (Mårten) but we're all living in Manly in Sydney. Mårtens dad has done the race 49 times and and as he's moving back to Sweden he thought it would be a great opportunity to do the Vasaloppet race with his dad.

ISPO 2018: What We Saw, Noticed and Liked

That was in 2012 Just five years later the Ski Na Rua project that Leandro launched, lists 92 of what is known as "underprivilege kids" from São Remo favela doing rollersking AND…
