    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.

    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!👍👊👏🍻

    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! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

    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!

    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. 🤙🤙🤙🤙

      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 😭
