Stoked to have Alex Martin in the studio for Chapter 368. Alex’s journey through the sport was anything but typical—starting out as a privateer and grinding his way onto factory teams. He made it to the top through sheer work ethic and a relentless focus on fitness, believing that being the fittest rider on the line gave him the edge he needed. Now retired from pro racing, Alex keeps that competitive fire alive by pushing himself physically and sharing what he’s learned through his company, Troll Training. He’s helping motocross racers and athletes at all levels take their performance to the next level. This is Alex Martin’s story—and how he continues to leave his mark on the sport beyond his racing career.
