Rostros de playa. Fotoreportaje

Abstract

Audiovisual project that summarizes the BMX practice in Ecuador, taking as a clear example the case study of Jonathan Camacho, a young athlete from the canton of General Villamil - Playas belonging to the province of Guayas in Ecuador. Camacho, who has been passionate about extreme sports since his adolescence, details in this audiovisual his growth as an athlete and all the efforts and sacrifices he has had to go through to achieve great feats that have made him the main figure of this extreme sport not only in the coastal city where he was born but throughout Ecuador for his outstanding work by winning several titles in countries such as Argentina, Chile, Peru, the United States, among others.Based on a qualitative research work and using techniques such as interviews and direct observation, a brief overview of how this sport has been managed in the country is presented in a general way. In addition, from the point of view of the athlete, the factors to improve are presented, tracing a path of better opportunities for young people who, as in the case of Jonathan, see in extreme sport an opportunity for healthy self-improvement.
