Logan Martin Wins BMX Big Air Triples at Inaugural St. Pete Action Sports
After 19 Rounds of Incredible Competition, Logan Martin edges out Nicholi Rogatkin for the Victory
St. Petersburg, Fla. (Dec. 6, 2015) – Logan Martin took the win on the final night of the 2015 St. Pete Action Sports event in the Big Air Triples competition against a stacked group of riders. He managed to battle all the way though the Battle Back round of the contest after a first-round loss to James Foster. Martin used a combination of huge technical tricks and remarkable consistency to advance past Pat Casey, Kevin Peraza and Scotty Cranmer in head-to-head match-ups to work his way back into the winner’s side of the bracket.
Martin secured the win in the Finals against former Big Air Triples Champion, Nicholi Rogatkin, by landing a combination of massive tricks including a front-flip barspin, to 360 triple downside whip, to a triple whip on the quarter-pipe.
“I love this style of contest, head-to-head knockout is a fun way to ride against your mates,” said Martin, who came into the Finals after taking home the top seed in yesterday’s qualifying round. “I’m stoked on how I rode tonight, the final with Nicholi was crazy. I had a few tricks I wanted to do, so I’m glad I went for it.”
Rogatkin, landed a cash roll to quad tailwhip to secure a spot in the Finals, while one of the youngest competitors in the group, Colton Walker, finished equal third with veteran Colton Satterfield.
The deep field of riders also included Morgan Wade, Ryan Guettler, Andy Buckworth, and two-time Big Air Triples Champion, Ryan Nyquist. The Big Air Triples Finals were held at Al Lang Stadium in St Pete as part of a major skateboarding, BMX and freestyle motocross competition run by ASA Entertainment called St Pete Action Sports.
The event will air on CBS Sports Network on Sunday, February 14th and Sunday, February 28th at 6:00PM EST.
