Learn 10 Unusual Skateboard Tricks With Madars Apse

Madars Apse is a bit of a magician when it comes to trying new tricks. He’s crazy talented to begin with—first tries come pretty naturally—but the guy has a knack for adapting to all sorts of styles of skating and working through new tricks with ease. While filming for Skate Tales season 2, Madars picked up a few new ones from characters like freestyle legend Kilian Martin, Brazilian phenom Felipe Nunes, the creative madmen from Fancy Lad, and street skating legend Mike Valley.

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!

Kilian Martin's "Virtuoso" Part

Kilian Martin's got the 'Virtuoso' skills to pay the 'Virtuoso' bills in his latest part. Filmer Hunter O'Shea gives you his quick intro to the edit: "'Virtuoso' is a visual collaboration reuniting Kilian Martin and A Happy Medium. Their intention being to create something that would evoke the experience of viewing an interpretive dance performance. Accompanied by a hauntingly beautiful musical score performed by Radical Face, this is a must watch for all of you artsy types."
