LOGAN MARTIN

Written by: Bree Rizzo

Logan Martin’s journey in Freestyle BMX is a testament to his passion, dedication, and fearlessness. He first discovered the sport at 12 years old, following his brother Nathan to the Crestmead Skate Park. It wasn’t long before Logan began to show his natural talent. By 15, his parents, Donna and Sean, supported his growing passion, providing him with bikes and parts and entering him into competitions. His first taste of international success came in 2012 when he won the very first overseas event he entered.

Logan’s career continued to skyrocket in the following years. In 2015 and 2016, he claimed the FISE World Titles, cementing his place as a top athlete in the BMX world. But what truly sets Logan apart is his mindset and dedication. He is always striving to push the boundaries of his sport. “It’s not the most forgiving sport, but I definitely enjoy the feeling of being on my bike,” he says. Logan is constantly setting the bar higher, pushing himself to take things to the next level, despite the inherent risks involved.

“There’s always fear involved in what I do,” Logan admits. “You know there’s injuries obviously, and it’s quite scary when you start to push your level.” But for Logan, overcoming that fear is part of the thrill. “To be able to push past the fear, do the trick, and land the trick without being injured… it’s almost an indescribable feeling.”

Logan’s hard work and determination paid off in 2021 when he made history as the first-ever Olympic Gold Medallist in Freestyle BMX at the Tokyo Olympics. This monumental achievement not only solidified his place in BMX history but also demonstrated the power of belief and dedication.

 “I believe myself to be dedicated in all aspects of my life,” Logan shares. Whether it’s his career, his time on the bike, or his family life with his wife and kids, Logan brings immense focus and commitment to everything he does. 

Through his journey, Logan hopes to leave a legacy that inspires others to work hard and pursue their goals. “I just want to leave the impression that if you work hard, you can achieve your goals and you can get the outcomes that you want.” His story is one of perseverance, pushing limits, and embracing challenges, proving that with dedication and the right mindset, anything is possible.
