Martin was only 12 years old when he first tried Freestyle BMX at his local park.[6] In 2012 he traveled overseas for the first time and won his first international competition.[7]
Martin debuted at the X-Games by taking Park silver at Austin 2016—the first rookie to score a BMX Park medal since Brazilian Diogo Canina in 2008. In 2019, he built his own competition-sized (30 by 15-metre) BMX park in his backyard after his local training facility closed, at a cost of $70,000.[8] This meant that during the COVID-19 pandemic related lockdowns, he was able to remain training without leaving his property.[9]
In the 2022 Australia Day Honours Martin was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia.[10]
