Angelica Morales (Angie) 40 years old Ariel Talavera 38 years old

We are both from Bayamon PR We live in Kissimmee FL CanAm Maverik Sport 1,000 The Ultimate

We have been riding for about 6 years, at fi rst it was curiosity to know what the environment was. After having experienced the excellent family atmosphere that you can create, there was no one to take us out of the mountains, it became our passion, our favorite place to hang out ‘Jangueo’ as a couple and with our children. After a while we noticed that there were many women who did not dare to go to a mountain, since most of the teams and team members were mostly men. That’s when we came up with the idea of creating the fi rst women’s ATV Team in FL, so that all of them would feel confi dent enough to go to a mountain, release all that adrenaline and show that extreme sports are not male dominated sports. That’s when Las Tóxicas ATV was born, today I have been with the group for a year and a half. Today in those same mountains there are more women than men, something that makes me extremely proud. Every time I see a girl enjoying her machine in the mountains, that’s when I say I love being a woman that loves to ride, “fi ebrua”

“Los Ultimos” The last ones, they are created by a great story, Ariel had his great friend Carlitos with whom we always went out to run... his brother.

During the races of other teams, we were always the last ones, we wanted to be around to be able to off er help to whoever needed it, at the time Carlitos came up with the theme,

Let’s make shirts that say Los Últimos!(the last ones) For us it was a good idea to identify ourselves in the mountains as a family.

In Nov -22 -2019 we lost our brother in an accident with his ATV, after a few months we decided to follow what he wanted and we created the Team Los Últimos, in honor of him. The group is created with all the things that characterized Ariel and Carlitos to being “Los Ultimos” (The Last ones) around, to never leave anyone on foot in a mountain. Today there are many people who without knowing them, we ride or tow your machine to the parking lot safe and sound, that for us is the best satisfaction we can receive a thank you from the heart accompanied by a big smile and even with a hug, we are called the tow truck of the mountain because we do not leave anyone stranded without a solution. This sport has introduced excellent people in our lives and a happiness that no one can take away from us. We are a group that brings together families of all ages, food is given to all present, games are made, and prizes are distributed. We create a completely healthy environment, it is something we enjoy, while many criticize us for having this passion, for us will always be our SPA. It is the place where we forget all kinds of problems.
