Favourite spot:
Cabarete because the wind is constant and the kickers allow me to go really big!
Favourite trick:
I have my signature trick - the Martinez Mobe - a variation of the front blind mobe and the tantrum I do with one hand only on the bar.
Favourite thing about competing on tour?:
I am a fan of the strapless world tour and I wanted to come and see if this tour was going to be up to those same standards
Favourite competitors to ride against and watch:
I think all riders on the tour have a lot of skills and the possibility to win so I’ll focus on my riding and will do my best in all heats without looking at who I am competing with
2018 goals:
My goals for this year are to train harder and reach as many podiums as possible
How do you train?:
I keep it varied. That way my body is always challenged. In the mornings I go surfing at Encuentro beach or to the gym. I also play baseball.
