Last times with Martti Kuoppa

Follow the leader.


Famous track by Eric B & Rakim. The track reminds me of Martti Kuoppa. The man is a thinker, he's done more for flatland in the last decade than any other rider. Many respect him, many pros  fear him, whilst many pros go corporate in a bid to pay the bills, Martti goes exactly the opposite, and returns to his roots. He is currently working a new solo dvd injunction with Chad Johnston, it promises to be "epic". The flatland world awaits his next move. That's why you will always be a step behind.
