Interview 1: Nick Martin, Professional Mountain Biker for Trek

Mathijs

Hello everyone I am very excited and proud to present my first interview on 101bike.com with Pro Mountain Biker Nick Martin !
 Let's jump right in:
Nick: Hey Mathijs, I am on the way back from AZ and was lucky enough to have my first win as a pro, check it out on my site. Feeling pretty motivated and looking forward to the season as it unfolds...:
101bike.com: How are you? Had a good weekend? Nick: Went well, I won the opening Time Trial stage and finished up the weekend 5th overall.
101bike.com:: So, what is life like as a Pro cyclist? Nick: A day in the life of... well I usually sleep in till 9 am and try to be on the bike no later than 10:30. If you wait any longer, it is easy for the day to slip by running errands. I spend about 75% of my time training on the mtb and average around 20-23 hrs per week. If I am not riding I feel like I am either working on bikes or working on line. I wish I could perfect the art of the nap but I have fallen short.
101bike.com: How do YOU buy a bike? What do you look for? What is important? Nick: Right now I am lucky enough to get hooked up by Trek but if I where to buy a ride the first thing I would look for is frame material. I am a big fan of carbon for its weight and responsiveness. If I had one bike to buy, it would be a full-suspension mtb.
101bike.com: Do you have any other bikes besides your Trek bikes? If so which ones? Nick: All my bikes are Treks, my Top Fuel 100 is by far the best bike I have ever ridden.
101bike.com: How much different are Pro bikes from the stuff we can buy in the stores? Nick: You could go to the local Trek dealer and buy the exact bike we ride and race on.
101bike.com: This week is Brake week on 101bike.com. What kind of brakes do you use? Why these (besides being sponsored perhaps…)? Nick: Disk Brakes all the way. Shimano XT brakes are the most powerful brakes I have ridden and nearly maintenance free. Can't be the price/performance benefits!
101bike.com: Do you test new materials/prototypes? What are you testing now? Nick: Right now I am working with Garmin GPS units and will be downloads my local training rides on their site so anyone can log on and see exactly where I am training daily. I am also working with Nike on some different mtb shoes, namely the Nike 10//2.
101bike.com: Is aerodynamics important in your field? Does every second count? Nick: It does play a factor but not like racing on the road. Every moment does add up...
101bike.com: How do you find managing a team? Nick:I love it. I was a Marketing major in college and I enjoy the business side of the sport as well. I am lucky enough to have an incredible group of athletes, within an amazing company. I couldn't be happier.
 101bike.com: What is the biggest development you see happening now in your field? What is hot/will be hot? Nick: Full suspension has been taking off as well as the 29er scene. Technology blows me away. The carbon movement seems to be in full force, elevating the "gucci" factor to an all time high.
101bike.com: Which biker would you want to be seen interviewed on this site? Nick: Tough question, Adam Craig always has an interesting perspective on the sport and reminds us all to keep things real.
101bike.com: Any other thing you would like to add? Nick: Thanks for the opportunity Mathijs, I appreciate your time and effort.
Best of Rides
