Role

Professional BMX Freestyle Rider

Logan Martin is a professional BMX freestyle athlete. The Australian started riding for fun when he moved close to a skate park at the age of 14, but his passion for the sport developed at the same pace as his skills and potential to shine in the world stage.

A rookie at the X Games 2016, Martin used his explosive and technical style to throw some of the biggest tricks in the sport and earn a silver medal. His list of almost impossible tricks kept growing and now, at the age of 24, Martin has racked up a long list of titles, which include a World Championship, two World Cups and an X Games gold medal.

Focused and determined, Martin’s next goal is to qualify for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 and represent his country in what will be BMX freestyle’s first appearance at the Games.
