Kilian Martin Freestyle Skating In Madrid | SKATE TALES S2 Ep 2 Who ever heard of a Spanish freestyle pro in the 2020’s? Kilian Martin hails from the Alcorcon neighbourhood in Madrid, Spain. Not long after he began his skating journey, Kilian discovered Powell Peralta’s legendary ‘Ban This’ video, which introduced him to freestyle skating. Freestyle was something with which Kilian could combine his gymnastic abilities, allowing him to get creative and do things that had never been done before. Spotted skating in Barcelona, Kilian was asked to fly to Paris for a fashion magazine shoot. Overnight, he became a skate sensation in the advertising world, filming dozens of commercials for some of the biggest names in luxury retail. In 2010, his life took another twist when he won the Freestyle Skateboarding World Cup in Germany and met Brett Novak, sparking a series of hugely successful and uniquely cinematic viral skate videos which established Kilian’s talent in the US. With the backing of his childhood idols from Powell Peralta and Vision, Kilian moved to the USA where he currently resides as a professional skater shooting ads for some of the biggest brands in the world. Kilian Martin took skateboarding’s most unfashionable genre and became a sensation in the commercial world outside of the skate industry’s reach. He is a self-made pro skater with an internet following measured in the millions. With a story like that, there was no way he wasn’t going to feature in Madars’ quest to explore skateboarding’s roads less travelled. Join us in Madrid as Madars takes Kilian back to his roots for a flatland masterclass in this walloping episode of Skate Tales!

Re-Imagine Skateboarding With The Fancy Lad Crew | SKATE TALES S2 Ep 1 With his sails set on exploring the wilder shores of skate culture around the world, there was no way that Madars’ global exploration of the skate underground Skate Tales wasn’t going to pitch up with Matt Tomasello and the Fancy Lad brigade, sooner or later. These Bostonian renegades are not only re-imagining what skateboarding can be, they are ripping as they do so. As innovative, creative backyard wizards, they have taken the concept of tricks and board assembly into new realms. Their viral videos have racked up millions of views globally as the crew have upended the very concept of skateboarding itself and won themselves fans in every corner of the planet. Using their skatehouse as a kind of insane laboratory, the Fancy Lads have won worldwide acclaim as their creations and reckless charm have seen them showcased in museums and comedy shows alike. Skate Tales is back, so join us, do: we’re going skating- the Fancy Lad way!
