In Argentina, the Martinez family name is synonymous with skateboarding. Milton Martinez was literally born into skating, raised as he was within his skateboarding parents’ skateshop in Mar del Plata.
His father Tatu is practically Argentinian skateboarding royalty from the formative generation, and while Milton quickly followed in his footsteps to become the biggest skateboarding name in his home country, the beachside surf town he called home is unfortunately no place to cultivate a career as a professional skater.
Without any English, Milton caught a plane to the US and never looked back. He hustled his way through the streets to make enough money to eventually move his family to California, where they reside to this day.
Along the way, he became SOTY 2019 in a career blow-up that saw him put down more heavy markers in the US than anyone else of his era. Skate Tales takes Milton Martinez back to where it all began, as he and Madars re-trace what has be one of the most starchasing skateboarding stories of them all!
