Kilian Martin

August 16, 2011

Meet Kilian Martin, Powell-Peralta's newest team rider.

"Kilian Martin is the skater I’ve been waiting for-for over twenty years. Hailing from Madrid, Spain, Kilian has gathered up his influences and inspirations, and then taking from the best of them, unchained himself from tradition and any social justification, completely reinterpreting skateboarding on his own terms. More so than method, Kilian trusts in himself – His body, his spirit and his skateboard are one.

The first time I saw Kilian ride I smiled. Every time I skate with Kilian I smile. Just being around Kilian I smile. Kilian is a true original… He is skateboarding fully realized… Independent, unfiltered expression of the human experience…Freedom."

    Kilian es una bocanada de aire fresco para el skate.

  4. It's so nice to see the skills of a true free spirit. Wouldn't it be something wonderful to see this artist bust out these moves in a big time competition and leave the judges speechless. Thanks man, you got me truely stoked.

  6. I have never seen someone skate like Kilian since when I first saw Rodney Mullen back in the 80s.

    This guy skates with such creativity and style that it is just a joy to watch! As a skate fan for life, I just want to thank all of those involved in displaying Kilian's skillz to the masses. Beautiful work.

    I'm looking forward to see what comes next!

  16. I just wathced Kilian Martin and I am in awe!! Old school for the New School. Brilliant, Rodney and Per reincarnated for 2011 and then some!! Brought back some great memories, Ripper graf and all. Skateboarding needs so much more of this, Kilian Martins video is THE best thing I have seen in years. Powell Peralta was , is, and will always be the the greatest team in skateboarding thanks to guys like Kilian. Bones Brigade lives on !!!!

  23. Kilian brings the fub back to skayeboarding merging old school and street together with such smoothness

  24. This is why skateboarding will continue to be so much fun. When someone rediscovers the art beneath the riding like Martin has it reminds me of the limitless possibilities skateboarding has to offer. spread the stoke.

  25. This guy is a revelation... and a revolution... all rolled up into one. He's married old-school freestyle with street and created an entirely new genre. Rodney Mullen was probably the only other skater with anything close in approach (and he's an amazing skater in his own right), but Kilian has taken everything to the next level. UNBELIEVABLE balance and control!
