58 year old bmx pro Martin Aparijo aka The Chairman at work.

[@LoneWolfed]

You are without a doubt the role model to any flatlander that age is just a number. I'm 49 and having fun after 10 yrs off. Your riding is still dialed in my eyes. Keep shredding!👍👊👏🍻

[@l.a.maclin6591]

49 as well & bout to try & jump back in the game. Went and looked at my bike today. Hella excited to learn one trick. Lol!

[@MormSineng]

Bmx thanks 👏👏💯🥰🥰🫡🫡🫡🤝🤝🤝Bmx

[@ArrKoKo]

@@l.a.maclin6591 I'm going to spazz out if I can even relearn an infinity roll after not having ridden for more than 20 years.

[@ricardosanchez2610]

Beast!! Making it look easy, and all those tricks are hard!!

[@robertcarlosllenarizas7987]

Martin Aparijo and Eddie Fiola are the king of flat land tricks and aero jumps.. they both make their moves spectacular...

[@tonytlly]

Martin im 51 years old and and I idolized you as a teen in the 80's. I've been riding Mt. Bikes since the mid 90's and strayed away from freestyle. I saw you still freestyl'n and dude you just make me smile. Now I wanna go buy a flatland bike again. God bless you sir! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

[@quadmods]

It was like “watching” a BMX Plus Magazine issue with that California backdrop 👍

[@musicman9434]

Your an inspiration to all us old schoolers who think it's to late to get back on the bike and get Rad! And yes, I did pick up on a couple of tricks straight out of the Rad intro! Front hop whips!! Hell yea!

[@mickadams1905]

Still rockin a cassette, no free coaster. Still smooth as ever and still progressing. Most of all I love seeing these legends still having fun on their bikes.

[@martinaparijooldschoolbmxp9388]

Thanks bud. I'm 60 now.

[@rk_BMXFlatlandDiaries]

Great stuff Martin! You're an inspiration to a lot of us older riders, since the RAD days. You're still riding strong at 58y/o, showing lots of VARIETY in BMX Freestyle; a lot of the old school tricks have been "forgotten" or not being done anymore (maybe the totally NEW school riders thought they weren't cool? haha). I guess riders like you will stand the test of time by not following the 'trend' so much. BMX Freestyle is cool with limitless possibilities!

[@SnakebiteBMX]

looking real smooth!

[@TruthHurtzButHealz]

This is absolutely the fountain of youth! Keep shredding and stay rad!

[@DanoFSmith-yc9tg]

"Decades" always look so sweet.

[@jimmyblasko7552]

Awesome, still got it. I met you something like 35 years ago when I was like 10, you were super nice to me that day. Just wanted to say thanks.

[@butters_147]

Look at the shape you're in. I know this is 2 years ago or more but damn dude. I really hope I look that good in 13 years. Better start now. 😉 You were one of my childhood heros dude. Before RAD too. I collected BMX Plus and BMX Action when I was a kid. Used to cut them up and put the pages on my walls and ceiling. Then it was skateboarding. You and Dr. Air (Josh White), RL Osbourne, Eddie Fiola and too many to name. I love watching these old stylish tricks. It's changed so much over the years. Just like everything I guess.

[@BigBikeBMX]

My favorite flatland rider then AND now👍🤘

[@waderamlochan8676]

You are a legend my friend and an inspiration to all who love to ride. Keep making videos.

[@ronnybosque4519]

Martin stills smooth as ever!!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙 Aloha!!

[@erouhour0076]

Whaouh, so much memories man,i am french i've seen you in 1986 at Paris at the Bercy show with mike domineguez,what an afternoon for the kid i was!! Great to see that you're still there riding,take care bro.

[@scotbutler2539]

I LOVE this guy

[@Krrrimmi]

YOU'RE AN '80s LEGEND. BMX was my dream bike when I was kid. 😃

[@gordonellisjr331]

Dude I was a huge fan of yours as a kid. I bought issue after issue of Freestyle magazine and watched every video clip / movie I could find. I bought my GT pro performer and rode the hell out of it trying to learn as many tricks as I could. I am impressed as hell that your still at it. Time has not been as kind to me although I still have my OG Pro Performer and restored it back to it former glory days. Now I just keep it for sentimental reasons and memories of the good ole days when life was a whole lot simpler. 🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@bdault]

You make me feel like a kid again :)

[@robertlee8400]

I watched you growing up & I,m now 50 & I have to say you still got it , one of the smoothest trick riders in the sport today , way better than these young riders out there & I still ride also , it’s all about being smooth & letting the tricks flow together , todays kids just don’t understand that .

[@craig9930]

This makes me so happy. I love that you’re still doing it. You’ve motivated me….i just ordered my first bike since 1989. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@SeffZachMaadil]

Just missed the old good days with my bmx...hope to own old bmx again...

[@seanbagnath2440]

Keeping it real RAD style! Martin your the The Chairman of all time. I’m into freestyle thanks to You, Eddie, Dennis and pretty of others. Thanks for your great moves on the bike I’m so enjoy your videos. 🙂

[@ericvlaeminck8256]

I'm going to put my RAD dvd in now. Great flatland!!! Time to break the ice. 🤙

[@Randy-g5q]

I member back in the 80s Martin tore it up. Was the best flatlands out there. I'm from Alabama and rode my ass off in my teens and 20s. Man it's great to see a legend still ripping.

[@yattaran1484]

Love to watch him ride. A Legend !

[@lorenhooke8986]

I wish you'd get back to many fans comments.. your an inspiration to many.you And Eddie ❤😮👌😎

[@decep11206]

This was a great refresher video clip Kool 😎

[@haro82]

Loved seeing you throw in the hopping tailwhips. I remember you and RL doing those in Rad. Youve still got great style man!

[@maximuswedgie5149]

Loft yo jive. This dude was on every teenager wall as a God back in the day. Epic times. Still smooth as ever.

[@SebastienT]

It's so cool to see you still riding. I saw you at a demo on a beach in France in the summer of 87 (I think), you were with Josh White. I also remember the soundtrack of the demo, that's the day I discovered The Beastie Boys. "The Licensed to Ill" album was the soundtrack of that demo.

[@Razvan-m2z]

Damn son.. clean moves !

[@1949joshuarodriguez]

This was an awesome video I love flatland BM. X freestyle. 9 out of 10.👍👍

[@kevinmartin7354]

Dude I'm pretty sure your better now than you were in the '80's.

[@jefflroberts]

Awesome! We need a bike check video with some details on the brake setup!

[@gemecalman1]

[@ClintBoostwood]

I built a custom pink PFT because of you

[@BikesandToysInc]

Hero of mine when I was a kid. Now a legend , part of a freestyle legacy …

[@WillsEasyGuitar]

I can't remember if Martin rode for GT or Haro. The name was in all the BMX magazines back in the day. Cool to see he still has it wired.

[@spencerthu2956]

I know he was with the GT team with Eddie and Brian and those guys

[@jsong1974]

So rad! I would like to see a Cowboy Martin.

[@xakrum]

Hw kool Man ! Congrats !

[@donny2327]

Class, pure class.

[@rroberts2023]

So much more refreshing to watch than the modern flatland spinning in circles the whole time. So boring. Would love to see if Kevin Jones is still around and riding.

[@mattrodgers2911]

Hey Martin, former BMX racer here, and long time fan of yours. I was wondering, can you still do the Cherry Picker? That was always my favorite freestyle trick.

[@georgemanos3398]

What bike are you riding these days? The old school GTs and Haro's are insane

[@Dubalupr2]

What is that bike frame?

[@Sotol811]

I want to know what all these old school innovators did after freestyle went out in the late eighties. How did they survive? What did they do?

[@wakeupmofoers691]

there was maerin aparilo kevin jhones dmc RL pete brandt many others that pushed it up

Freestyle for life.

Loving the longer vids, Chairman!🤙 Always wanted to ask you if it’s Eddie’s ProFormer that you’ve been riding lately?

[@martinaparijooldschoolbmxp9388]

No sir

[@monkist]

@@martinaparijooldschoolbmxp9388 Thanks for your reply! Could it be that you’re on a GT (if I may ask?)

[@martinaparijooldschoolbmxp9388]

It's my own proto type. I love it.

[@monkist]

@@martinaparijooldschoolbmxp9388 Awesome!!! That’s even better! Any plans of ever putting it into production? I’m sure there would be an audience for it…

[@monkist]

@@martinaparijooldschoolbmxp9388 sorry Martin ain’t trying to push it, appreciate your answers so far. There’s just one more thing that’s been bugging me: the length of the crank arms you’re riding now. How long are they? I feel a bit hesitant to go with a 165 but your advice would help me a great deal. Thanks!

[@pjalton]

Finally an old fart like me mucking around on a bmx. But you have serious skills, you sleep with that thing or what … jezzz! 🤘

[@walterbison]

FIrst I was too little to pull off any tricks like this, then I hit a growth spurt and couldn't even fit on a freestyle bike.

[@mobghoul]

Rad!

[@LearnBMXRacing]

And this, young gentlemen, is why you keep brakes on your freestyle bike...

[@Thriftstorebingo]

👍🏼🤘🏼

[@kitty2band]
