Freestyle Now is pleased to announce its newest recruits squad member CJ Martinez. CJ who is only 11 years old first came to the attention of Freestyle Now when he attended a few skatepark competitions last year. His shear rawness on a skateboard showed much potential for his progression. Over the last year or so CJ has progressed and he can only keep on flowing as he gets older and gets more power behind him. CJ likes to skate open transitions and flowing around a skatepark as opposed to jibbin and skating ledges.
The Freestyle Now recruits squad is designed to teach young radsters about how a sponsorship works. So many young shredders say they want to be sponsored but none really understand what then means. Sponsorship is a two way deal, the rider promotes the brand, and the brand helps the rider. Too many young guns think that they just get product and that’s it, they don’t understand how the sponsorship treadmill works. For Freestyle Now, the recruit’s squad is the chance to help out young shredders but also to help them educate others what sponsorship is all about. Every young radster must start somewhere. The recruits is just that place. Younger shredders who show the potential to roll out the rad, being inclusive, show the potential to be good role models and the ability to progress up the ladder of radness, one day could become a full Freestyle Now squad member
Freestyle Now is please to have such a rad skater on our recruits squad and think that CJ Martinez has a some great skating to still be coming, welcome to the squad
