Early years

According to Colberg, his parents were instrumental in developing his interest in sports and spirituality. As a child, Colberg was into basketball, baseball, and volleyball. When he was 11 years old, his friends were part of the new rollerblading fever that was spreading throughout the island. Colberg's father, a Puerto Rican television producer, Abdiel Colberg presented him with a new pair of "street" rollerblades. With those skates, he learned to jump, roll, ride down hills, and to do tricks.[1]
Rollerblade circuit
Isaac Oltmans, owner of Eulogy, signed him to a contract and took him to Escondido, California. There, he was introduced to the rollerblade circuit and, under the sponsorship of Eulogy, participated in national and international competitions. Colberg has traveled the world representing Eulogy. Among the places in which he competed are in Ecuador in the Sudaca competition and in IMYTA celebrated in Liverpool, England.[1]
