Jimmy Martinez has always had a real need for speed. At age 4 he started riding motorbikes with his father, having consideranble junior success. But it was ten years later when he first tried wakeboarding that he knew he’d found his ultimate adrenalin outlet. His philosophy is simple, “Go Big” and Jimmy can never be considered one to shrink from any challenge. Great results have come off the back of this mix of talent and bravado and he has been leading the Spanish charge in wakeboarding, pushing the profile and standard in his homeland. His training is similar to anyone who loves riding, saying, “It's about having fun and go for new tricks every ride.” Of course unlike most though he has set his heights incredibly high. “I aim to do what it takes to come ride, win and conquer the world of wakeboarding.” Good luck to those who want to get in the way of this Spanish bull.
