He explains why he is attracted to doing extraordinary physical stunts. "It is a very rare sport to just witness. That's why I like it, because it's not so mainstream. I like to pick up on those things, especially whatever my brother Rafael does, he’s also brothers with Stephen. We're always like finding these weird sports that aren't really known and making the best out of it. So sign-spinning is one of those, and I'm still pursuing sign-spinning in a very exhibition way."
