Gold Coast's Logan Martin started freestyle BMX at the age of 12
after following his brother, Nathan, to the Crestmead Skate Park.
Spending most of his spare time there, Martin started showing real
talent at the age of 15, entering competitions with his parents,
Donna and Sean, taking him to the events and buying bikes and
parts.
Logan first travelled overseas in 2012, where he won the first
international event he entered.
Martin won the International Festival of Extreme Sports (FISE)
World Series title in both 2015 and 2016, following those titles up
by claiming the inaugural BMX Freestyle world title at the UCI
Urban World Championships in China in 2017.
A stellar 2019 followed, which saw Logan win dual X Games gold, the
Urban Games gold, and a World Championship silver behind teammate
Brandon Loupos. He also built a BMX ramp in the backyard of his
home to prepare for his Olympic run during lockdown.
At the 2020 and 2021 National Championships in Melbourne, Martin
won gold, and added a second career rainbow jersey when he took out
the 2021 UCI World Championships in France.
The culmination of Logan's career so far was claiming gold at the
Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games.
He still lives on the Gold Coast with his wife, Kimberley, and
their two children, Noah and Luna.
