A base as a trialist, athlete of the Italian National MTB and Red Bull athlete, multiple Italian BikeTrial champion and many other successes (2001-2006), 2 Guinness World Record MTB. Multiple freestyle shows on TV broadcasts and events.
Since 2006, his specialty has become the Downhill, creating an innovative and unique project with TEAM 360 DEGREES. The project 360 Degrees Team Different it wasn't just a team downhill or enduro or freestyle, but all this and much more. Also a lifestyle, given the very strong athletes who passed among his ranks. Many victories and placements, including a top 10 in a world cup race downhill Lorenzo Suding. Or the great return to the competitions of Alan Beggin precisely with the Team 360 jersey.
The team then closed its doors with Walter's accident. The team's lighthouse was lost and the spirit of the group went down more and more: "it was a day like any other, it was a work trip on a bike like many others, adrenaline and fun. Then an illness, the fall, the darkness. It was October 12, 2014, when I fell off my bike and found myself in a hospital bed. I reopened my eyes for the first time after two weeks of drug coma to realize that I was no longer the same person and had a life ahead of me that didn't feel like mine.More than a year of hospitalization, several cardiac arrests, operations and much more commitment, physical and above all psychological. I had to find my 'perfect speed', the one I thought I had finally found and then thought I had suddenly lost in a fall (words by Walter Belli).
We want to remember him with his last test carried out with 365mountainbike, with which he had a small interlude as a tester before the accident.
Here is his latest post on Instagram dated January 3, 2022:
To the family all our sincere and heartfelt condolences.
