Martin im 51 years old and and I idolized you as a teen in the 80's. I've been riding Mt. Bikes since the mid 90's and strayed away from freestyle. I saw you still freestyl'n and dude you just make me smile. Now I wanna go buy a flatland bike again. God bless you sir! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
You are without a doubt the role model to any flatlander that age is just a number. I'm 49 and having fun after 10 yrs off. Your riding is still dialed in my eyes. Keep shredding!👍👊👏🍻
I member back in the 80s Martin tore it up. Was the best flatlands out there. I'm from Alabama and rode my ass off in my teens and 20s. Man it's great to see a legend still ripping.
Your an inspiration to all us old schoolers who think it's to late to get back on the bike and get Rad! And yes, I did pick up on a couple of tricks straight out of the Rad intro! Front hop whips!! Hell yea!
Still rockin a cassette, no free coaster. Still smooth as ever and still progressing. Most of all I love seeing these legends still having fun on their bikes.
Great stuff Martin! You're an inspiration to a lot of us older riders, since the RAD days. You're still riding strong at 58y/o, showing lots of VARIETY in BMX Freestyle; a lot of the old school tricks have been "forgotten" or not being done anymore (maybe the totally NEW school riders thought they weren't cool? haha). I guess riders like you will stand the test of time by not following the 'trend' so much. BMX Freestyle is cool with limitless possibilities!
Keeping it real RAD style! Martin your the The Chairman of all time. I’m into freestyle thanks to You, Eddie, Dennis and pretty of others. Thanks for your great moves on the bike I’m so enjoy your videos. 🙂
I watched you growing up & I,m now 50 & I have to say you still got it , one of the smoothest trick riders in the sport today , way better than these young riders out there & I still ride also , it’s all about being smooth & letting the tricks flow together , todays kids just don’t understand that .
Whaouh, so much memories man,i am french i've seen you in 1986 at Paris at the Bercy show with mike domineguez,what an afternoon for the kid i was!! Great to see that you're still there riding,take care bro.
Dude I was a huge fan of yours as a kid. I bought issue after issue of Freestyle magazine and watched every video clip / movie I could find. I bought my GT pro performer and rode the hell out of it trying to learn as many tricks as I could. I am impressed as hell that your still at it. Time has not been as kind to me although I still have my OG Pro Performer and restored it back to it former glory days. Now I just keep it for sentimental reasons and memories of the good ole days when life was a whole lot simpler. 🤙🤙🤙🤙
So much more refreshing to watch than the modern flatland spinning in circles the whole time. So boring. Would love to see if Kevin Jones is still around and riding.
@@martinaparijooldschoolbmxp9388 even more impressive, Martin! I had the GT pro freestyle tour in 1988. I remember when Dennis McCoy became a free agent he was riding one but with Haro handlebars, so I switched over. I can tell you that combination was awesome. What’s your advice for buying a flat land bike for the first time in over 30 years? Unfortunately, my bike was stolen in 1997 😭
Hey Martin, former BMX racer here, and long time fan of yours. I was wondering, can you still do the Cherry Picker? That was always my favorite freestyle trick.
@@martinaparijooldschoolbmxp9388 Awesome!!! That’s even better! Any plans of ever putting it into production? I’m sure there would be an audience for it…
@@martinaparijooldschoolbmxp9388 sorry Martin ain’t trying to push it, appreciate your answers so far. There’s just one more thing that’s been bugging me: the length of the crank arms you’re riding now. How long are they? I feel a bit hesitant to go with a 165 but your advice would help me a great deal. Thanks!
