Javi Trepat Super 60

"The Super 60 is designed to test a rider's consistency, creativity and use of a space within a skatepark. Riders are given 60 minutes to film as many clips as they can, and turn this into a video showcasing their personal style and tricks."


For his Super 60, Javi Trepat decided to ride local street spots in his hometown of Barcelona, Spain. While the 17 year old is unknown to American riders, he has quite a lot of recognition in Europe, being sponsored by multiple companies, including Micro. He is a shredder for sure and it shows in his S60.

Filmed/edited by Ferran Grau Vega, and intro by Sam Short.

The intro, in English, is as follows:
"Hi, I'm Javi Trepat, I'm seventeen and I live in Barcelona.I'm sponsored by Exode Wear, Micro Scooters, Toy Factory and CVK, and this video go specially for InsideScooters. Enjoy ;D"

After watching his video, I asked Javi a few questions. Keep in mind that English isn't his first language.

Jordan Jasa: Why did you choose to do your S60 on street?

Javi Trepat: I choose to do my S60 cauz i love ride and i thought it was time to start a new video. For me scooter is a big part of my life and film my life with the scooter for see how i make my style with scooter bigger is really important.

Who are some of your influences?

My biggest influences are my friends always, specially MX friends, they always are helping me and telling me why i should continue riding. They're another big part of my life. My girlfriend tells me sometimes why i do some sheets with scooter cauz in some big spoots i become some illness, but i know that she loves me and he makes that for help me...

What do you think of the scooter scene in Barcelona/Spain?

I have seen the completly evolution in Barcelona/Spain of the scooter freestyle. I think it has maken a big evolution becauz there's always someone better then other one and that makes bigger this Xtreme-Sport. So i think that the MX spain riders play here a big paper cauz people will not continue riding if we let of ride, they would be not motivated for continue riding... The street spoots in general maked me begining to ride cauz i saw there that i can make bigger my creativity and i saw that scooter was funny and interesting.

What is it like riding street in Barcelona?

For me the only comparation like riding street in Barcelona is the party's here in the nights, there're so big partys with so much funny people... In my situation be with my girlfriend produce me the same sensation like ride street in Barcelona... I love two things same. Another thing i like as riding street is ride it with marc pauls, he's always helping me in all what i need and without him and some many friends this full project will be impossible. I must give thanx to Ferran Grau, Marc Pauls, Victor Campmany, Quim Xalabardé, Gerard Xalabardé, Joanet, Kitus... there's so much people who has always helped me in all what i need...
