Skating fans, get ready for an exhilarating ride with our special guest, Nell Martin—the first Spaniard to bring his story to our podcast. Imagine shifting gears at age 13, moving from skateboarding to rollerblading, all because skateboards became scarce in his homeland. Nell's journey showcases a tenacious spirit, as he reminisces about the less specialized days of rollerblading, filled with variety and thrill. His enduring love for urban sports not only fuels his passion but also drives his event and marketing company, keeping the spirit alive and kicking.
From mental health to business endeavors, we explore the transformative power of skating. Discover how a contract with Cirque du Soleil offered mental balance and how running Secret Spot, a leading rollerblading school, brings joy beyond measure. We touch on the vibrant scene in Las Vegas and Spain, where skate culture has grown more inclusive. With nods to the legends that inspired us—Chris Edwards, Arlo, and Cesar Mora—we share insights into sustaining a niche business and the joys of teaching young champions. This episode promises a blend of personal stories, industry wisdom, and an unwavering love for the sport.
