Marin Bikes

Amelia Martin

Who is Amelia? Downhill Mountain Bike rider and racer.
Must have MTB accessory for a ride? Always have to wear goggles or glasses it feels weird riding without them!
What would be your desert island luxury item? Lip balm, I can’t live without it (Although I’m forever loosing them!)
What size Marin bike frame do you ride? Medium
What’s the best piece of riding advice you’ve ever been given? Focus on practicing and improving one thing in your riding at a time rather than trying to perfect everything at the same time.
How did you get sponsored/get into Marin? Met the Marin crew at Valley Burner Mountain Bike Festival back in 2022 where I was competing in an XC race and Tom Whant let me borrow his bike so I could compete in an Enduro Race. I haven’t done an XC race since!
Favourite place to ride? Caersws Bike Park, it’s got a bit of everything!
Favourite event you've been part of? Being part of the first ever MBUK rider of the year event was so cool. I got to meet so many people who have inspired me and it was awesome to be nominated as Newcomer of the Year and even better to be nominated again this year so I get to go again!
What inspires you to ride? Watching the Downhill World Cup and Crankworx really inspires me as it’s my ultimate goal to race at these events. Watching Martha be crowned Queen of Crankworx this year was also mega!
What's your go to food & beverage after you ride? Chocolate Milkshake
