RAMIREZ INTERVIEW WITH DAVID 'THE SMALL'
'SoloRecortes' has had the great honor to interview a teacher of teachers at all refers to his affectionate nickname 'The Little', as in and out of the arena is a great professional and an excellent person, with a humility beyond question and above all an example of someone committed to their work and their peers. Thanks David.
Name.
David Ramírez Rodríguez 'El Peque'.
is an honor for me to interview a legend as you are cutting.
for me also an honor that people fond of me interview cut world. It is appreciated.
I've seen in countless competitions and, increasingly, with more energy, more enthusiasm, always helping peers.
The day you lose the illusion that you have to do is get out of this. At first you do as a hobby, then it is true that apart from the fans, for economic compensation. But without hope, there is nothing to do.
clippers are one of the most successful of all time along with Sergio Delgado, Julián Gómez Carpio, Ruben Palomino ... You are one of the more trophies you have and your home must be a museum.
I can not complain. My friends every time you come in and see my house all the trophies and for me, that's the greatest.
trimmers You've fought with veterans and now you are starting with youth but you do not care.
I think now I'm in the best time as a trimmer since I started, I am more sat. I was lucky enough to start acting with great legends of Arganda, with Sergio Delgado and kids who are now such as the 'Conrad', the 'Peta', that 'Cuatiá' and those which are exaggerated Valencia. I have every day on the ball but as long as we the fans and we feel like we have to keep going.
David, you are one of the most beloved trimmers for the fans.
a trimmer that I am always trying to please inside and outside the square. I never make a bad gesture to anyone. So if someone criticizes me, honestly I do not know what it is. I never make an ugly one, not a cut veteran or a young nor a lady who is in the stands, or a child or a parent ... I always try to put a good face to the whole world give everything in the street. Sometimes I get I get better and others worse.
I say as a fan and as people who like the cuts, you are one of the most popular with Julián Gómez Carpio.
For that we will talk about this guy. This is another of the cuts that leaves everything in the square. A man does not care that the place is no light, the sand is impracticable, the bulls are very large ... always gives the face. I took a little worse than all this, is the lack of professionalism that exists between the trimmers. It is something that is felt from the stands. If we all had only 20% of the professionalism that has Julián Gómez Carpio, this would be cuts elsewhere. I'm sure we'd be much better than we are. Now is a little burned the man because he received Tafalla gored in the knee also has bad, it now appears that he has opened the whole gore, and some doctors say one thing, some another. We are at the height of the season and one of those things is the worst that can happen.
Well David, you've been a good season. Earned in Cobeña in Tafalla, in Marchamalo in San Sebastian de los Reyes ...
Yes, this year I have 7 first. This afternoon also won in Daganzo but I do not think I deserved it. He deserved more 'Josie' and I have given first place because I thought it was yours. I am of the trimmers who say it is very easy to blame the jury but they, after all, have a very fat brown. Come to a place and say do you want to put the jury?, They agree to set and may like more than one thing or another. But if we were true professionals and when we do not we deserve what we did that, I think maybe it was not so necessary to the jury. Daganzo now I do not think I deserved the first place and when they say the runner ... José Luis Delgado 'Josie'! I have not let out, I've stopped, I left, I picked up my second prize and the hall has been made 'Josie', which was the true winner. And to me, in the bullring in Zaragoza, in Pilar, last year spent to the end and I thought I deserved to go and when I said ... David Ramirez's fifth 'The Little'! I left the square and said I had to be there. I turned around, grabbed a trimmer who had been sensational and I pulled into the square. He thanked me and I'll stick with those things, that this guy was not ever forget the details that I had with him and, with it, too much.
The other day I saw in San Sebastian de los Reyes and I had never seen a whole square standing, clapping, screaming your name ... that was awesome.
I have the good fortune to be able to say that I want a lot in many plazas of San Sebastian but for me is something that I can not ever forget in life. It is also true that you require a little because, next year, you have to go out there and give the corn. For all those people when they return to say my name, they say this is the last year the mess! But I delighted that require me to that because that was ... I did not sleep! I fell asleep at 6 am on the thing he had.
The public understanding of the cuts and will not be duped. Jurors sometimes have bad intentions.
The public is not stupid, no doubt. When a square a guy goes to the final and bundles across the square to whistle, or win one that does not deserve to win because ... well the public is paying for and I think that is what is right. The public must give them what they want and if you want that, because I think it is so difficult. Can not be wrong five thousand or six thousand people and three people hit the Jury. These three people have more interest in some than others. Many times you must listen to those people who have paid an entry that has been two hours prior to the bullring to see you.
How did you get into this cuts?
I'm from Arganda del Rey, a bullfighting town in which there is more trimming of Spain active because you notice that piece of trimmers are: 'Cuatiá', 'Peta', Ruben Monzon, Sergio Redondo ... Then I started there in the capeas, ass first if the bull, then if I do not know why, and at the end you go getting. Andres Santander Gonzalez, who is a master teacher of Arganda, 'The Tubillo', my brother and I, took a car and we went from village to village. Then we learned that there was a contest in Valladolid, we were there, then in other towns. Then, there was no money to pay the trimmers. There were fifty thousand pesetas for the first twenty-five for the second and had no for anyone else. We climbed because it was what we really liked and for us it was very big contest. Then there are many people who criticize us for "serrations" as we cut money, such that it is. It is true that there are dates that I do them because they give me money but, like the mason rises and goes to work. I just do not understand where is the harm in a guy to commit to trimming. It's like being a bullfighter, footballer ... But do not forget anyone that I am of the cuts has been more beneficial competitions. Recently we went in a televised bullfight Castilla-La Mancha, for Down syndrome in Añover de Tajo, and the only received no money were Julián Gómez Carpio, Sergio Delgado, Rubén Fernández 'Cuatiá', Raul Ramirez and David Ramirez 'The Little'. All others: bullfighters, doors, banderilleros ... all those charged. And yet, we do not charge a penny.
a real misery is what you charge, there is no law. Today how much you charged?
here today was not so bad either. There were 200 € grant and then the other awards, other that those were not very high. We are in Colmenar Viejo, a place that deserves more in terms of prizes, because there were bulls, took your life. I am among those who say that the awards should be commensurate with the type of place and the type of bull. They can not take a bull that is a murderer and give you a sh ... money. I do not look good.
What was your first contest?
Pedraja was in St. Stephen, Valladolid.
what position is?
the end I did not spend that day. There in Valladolid, we must recognize that the jury looks much by there. For example, Sergio Delgado, 4 times champion of Spain, until this year had never won a contest of cutting through the area of \u200b\u200bCastilla y León. He is a guy that won in Zaragoza, Valencia, Castellón, Madrid ... and never had won for the area. In Castilla y León, usually the jury are such friends, of which, and you do all uphill. And you get second, fifth or do not go to the final because he has to win his friend.
For the Valencia area, usually the same thing happen. But for example, this year in Las Fallas Chinchón Sergio Delgado and Ruben Fernandez 'Cuatiá' Arganda had an awesome hand in hand.
is to look how two: the veteran and those cuts Sergio, and the youth and a desire to want to be there for Reuben, for she put the place upside down. Were exaggerated both.
Where you got your best results?
I think they have been for the people of Guadalajara. I'm very good in that area and won in capital Guadalajara, Marchamalo, Cabanillas ... all these people have had good results. But I have the good fortune to be able to say I've won almost all the organizers of Spain cuts a contest. It's very difficult because you can get along poorly with an organizer or another because we all know that in business there is cronyism and interests.
Of all the competitions you've won over the years, what has you most satisfaction?
The Tafalla and San Sebastian de los Reyes. See the full square, the cheers of the people, are things you'll never forget.
Are you afraid in front of the bull?
What I have is afraid to disappoint. Many times I prefer to receive a goring that leave bad taste to a whole square, because a cure was gored but when defraud a place, you pull three days without sleep at home. When you paste a farce out there, one's own fault, because when you get a bull that gores can not do anything, because you know that if the bull charges and the trimmer does not, that to me is the worst in the world. I promise that I prefer a goring. Just
you do to the bulls or you have another profession?
My wife, my two kids and I only live cuts, to be in many competitions, every day and be on the ball.
So you can live cuts, David?
can live in this perfectly. But I tell you that you can be professional environment because I can tell you that I have never pulled any organizer left anywhere. Never ever. When I have a date in a small village and then a competition has emerged as most important, my date had already been given in that town and there had to go. You can not miss those people who gives the date earlier. Then, all the organizers, for one reason or another, I have the good fortune to call me.
What place would you like to win?
In Arganda del Rey. But I know that this place is impossible to win because we must recognize that no one is prophet in his land. But jurors in Arganda, who live bulls, do not look good. I would like to sit down and explain to me why not look good. I see no evil uncle living painting houses, or be an engineer ... I have decided to be off and you're done. Some people want very much to me but winning in Arganda, with the jury that there is, for me is impossible.
How does this family of cuts?
My son is 13 and already starting to understand a bit and not going anywhere to me. My wife tells me to come and say, "Dad will be over already? Call him to see if it has finished. He watches TV and sees that if a guy picks up and hits a goring, that if another cop and kills him. The girl is 5 and you feel the same, and can not go into the streets to me. The day I picked up in Fontana, I hit a goring, were both there. And my wife as there has been another. I have a woman that nobody knows what it's worth and she respects me a lot. He knows that I like and that is my passion. Without it I could not live without the bulls either.
to your child, do you like this? Will you follow in your footsteps?
I think not. If you do not like anything. Does not want to go see him. Do you know where to go? Arganda the contest because I do not go there. Usually go to the contests in which I do not act. I do not know. The same comes a day saying he wants to be trimmer and of course I will help in whatever. But, if only for me, hopefully not.
Any fucking serious?
Whenever you can tell, there is no fucking serious. The most serious are caught sketches, the most serious to get a trimmer or a bullfighter.
A trimmer. Serge
Delgado, Ruben and Ruben Fernandez Palomino 'Cuatiá'.
A jumper. Julián Gómez
Carpio.
A breaker.
César Palacios.
A young person. Rubén Fernández
'Cuatiá'.
A website cuts.
The Chiquero and ToroAlcarria. But the best site of all for me SoloRecortes.
"would cut the bull 'Mouse'?
If the bull gores Mouse Not this bull lives of four poor little drunk that has caught out there and live it, the bull and the farmer. Has picked up a reputation for catching four drunk, which is a shame. We cut a lot more wild cows and more bad mouse because the bull, the bull rushes, only going when you hunt and if you pass over his face and he sees that you can take your hand, as if he saw anyone . To me, I would not mind.
What would you say to those that start? Julián Gómez
Carpio Sergio Delgado said that he and I, we're never at the top, we never touch the ceiling. The difficulty in that the cuts is to raise and then maintained. I would say, first, do so as a hobby and, secondly, to do it for money too. One thing leads to another. The passion and desire, give you money. If there is no desire, money is not forthcoming. Let them try to be professional, this is what we need to the trimmers. I'm going to include, and why I stick beating death a helping all my friends but we are unprofessional. The trimmers can not be there, a dead joke, laughter, throwing water ... These things will do much harm.
Why do not you come together and speak, you put a charter, all written, what you should charge ...?
This, when a popular celebration, you can not get together and say what you want or not want to charge. I do not see it you have to charge more than a guy who has just begun. While it is true that Joseph Thomas does not charge the same as Luis Miguel Encarnacion, each has his salary. I mostly, what I complain of the trimmers and I talk a lot with them is a lack of professionalism that we have. Some people see it another way, if the call right and if not, then stay at home as quiet playing cards. So much I tell a trimmer that his way of being is to be the joke, witty, throwing water, do not know, says it's not good it will do so as well. They have been said twenty times and still not ignore. Should follow in the footsteps of Julian Gómez Carpio is a trimmer committed as anyone else. Be better or worse but that guy that always come caraperro.
What next contests are going to act?
tomorrow and I have a display. I have Cintruenigo Tuesday 8, Wednesday we Pozuelo and 10 to Navalucillos, organized than half what I do, that is 40 or 50 miles of Toledo. Thanks
teacher and luck.
You.
