Milton Martinez Shine on.

December 13, 2007 @ 5:55 PM

Age: 16

Residence: Argentina

Sponsors: DC and Quiksilver

Born around skateboarding, Milton is growing into one of the most solid young skaters out there. Eldest son of a skateboarding family, he started skating at the same time he started walking. His father, Tatu, is one of the oldest and most respected skateboarders in South America and has definitely taught him well. They live with his mother and his two little brothers in their house turned skateshop in a beach town called Mar del Plata in Argentina. At age 16 he is making his first trip to Europe with the help of Quiksilver and DC. He came by himself and is doing the whole tour alone. He is a grown up kid, responsible and well mannered. His power exceeds the borders of normality. This sequence was shot only because I asked him to do it and at the dawn of a day when he nollie bigspinned the same blocks later that morning, by himself, just for fun.

Be on the lookout for him because he is here to stay.
