KINO SALDARINI - ITALIAN SPEED
SKI TEAM 2007 |
FRANCISCO (KINO) SALDARINI Fransico(Kino) Saldarini come's from a successful background in
the Lake Como,Italy area.Since 1882 the Family has been in the fashion
business with things such as fashionable hand bags that are in high
end retail outlets across the world. Kino started sking at age 4 and joined the Lombardia region ski team when he was 13. At age 9 his grand father taught him to drive his car which made him crazy for speed. At 16 Kino became a water ski and bare foot instructor while doing some motocross, skydiving and organizing wild party's with friend's. While attending Bocconi University for his business degree he commuted to training and ski racing in the morning and worked at his parents business in the evenings. He began focusing on strength and aggressive ski disipline and began racing Super G and down hill and easily gain good ranking's. This is how the Italian ski federation noticed him and invited him to join the Italian National Speedski Team in 1993 by giving him a free plane ticket to Rovaniemi,Finland. His first race finished with a speed of 170 kmph. This got Kino addicted to the sport and todate has a top speed of 235Kmph. Kino uses this insane sport to free his mind of the daily stresses of life and feel the satisfaction of being the best he can be. GRINDERFEST is proud to have such an excellent individual endorsing the GRINDERFEST way of life. Kino also is spreading the word to other world speedskier's at event's. It must be working since he say's someone stole his GRINDERFEST ball cap at his France competion. BE THE FEAR is what Kino live's eat's and breath's. Enjoy some of the photo's of his event in France and the celebration in the lodge. |
