Martin Söderström comes from Uppsala in Sweden and rides for 8 years now. In 2007 he won the slopestyle contest in Are, Sweden and shortly after that a video got posted on youtube with amazing riding of Martin, not only showing his great slopestyle performance, but especially his street style impressed people a lot. In 2008 Soederstroem had his international breakthrough. He rode at various dirt and slopestyle contests in Europe and proved to the world’s best riders that he is right amongst them and actually has got more skills than most of them. At first he got 2nd at the Vienna Air King, then he won the Nissan Qashqai Challenge stop in Munich and on top he got 2nd at the Adidas Slopestyle. At last year’s Anti Days of Thunder he rode impressive as well and got a cover in German’s Mountainbike Rider magazine. The 19yrs old Swedish bike talent had even a better year in 2009. He is unstoppable and rode many different contests. He rode himself on the 1st place at 4 international contests! Martin's 3rd place at the slopestyle in Whistler was probably his biggest success in 2009, especially in front of the North American audience. He showed sick double tailwhips, 360-whips, truckdrivers and lots more tricks and style during the whole contest. For Martin that was his most special moment in 2009:“ Crankworx was amazing for me. Performing in front of such big crowds with the World's top guys in freeriding was just insane! I also enjoyed meeting all the riders that you usually know only from the movies!
