We are happy to have you on board. To make sure that everyone out there will get to know you a little better we&#8217;d like you to introduce yourself to the world.<\/strong><br \/>\nSafwaan Cook: I&#8217;m Safwaan, I&#8217;m 16 years old at the moment..and I really like BMX riding and eating, especially pasta. I grew up in Maitland Cape Town with my mum and siblings..Two sisters&#8230;one younger, one older.<br \/>\n<strong>Bloodsister: When did you start to shred the streets on a BMX and why?<\/strong><br \/>\nSafwaan Cook: I actually started shredding the streets with my bike just a little more than a year and a half ago. I saw a couple of my friends bmxing so I thought to myself it looks awesome and I should give it a try..and ever since I fell in love with bmx riding.<br \/>\n<strong>Bloodsister: What was your personal best of moment in BMX so far?<\/strong><br \/>\nSafwaan Cook: My personal most important moment in bmx sports must have probably been the day I won that comp at the shred skatepark..and I&#8217;m really proud of that and it changed everything.<br \/>\n<strong>Bloodsister: Describe yourself in 4 words.<\/strong><br \/>\nSafwaan Cook: Motivated, hardworking, fast learner, respectful<br \/>\n<strong>Bloodsister: Tell us more about your lifetime dream and why you agreed to join the Bloodsister Foundation.<\/strong><br \/>\nSafwaan Cook: My personal lifetime dream actually is to become a pro bmxer, to make a living from sports as well as to live abroad one day. Like in Spain or the UK. I joined Bloodsister, because I see it as a great opportunity, that could help me with my goals and dreams. Bloodsisters mission is really good, because they are all about helping people to achieve their goals and reach their dreams.<br \/>\n<strong>Bloodsister: So how do your future plans look like..sportswise?<\/strong><br \/>\nSafwaan Cook:My future plans are definitely to take BMX to a next level and to broaden our local BMX scene as it&#8217;s really small at the moment.<br \/>\n<strong>Bloodsister: Do you have any idols?<\/strong><br \/>\nSafwaan Cook: The person I mainly look up to is Stevie Churchill, because he has a brilliant riding style and I really like it.<br \/>\n<strong>Bloodsister: Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Riding along Stevie?<\/strong><br \/>\nSafwaan Cook: I actually see myself still riding BMX, but being a pro already and helping others to get promoted so BMX riding could become more known over here.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row foundry_padding=&#8221;pt64 pb64&#8243;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Safwaan\u2019s Support Team<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb0\">&#8220;Alone we are strong.
