Georgia Martin's journey in skateboarding is something to admire.

From a Spiderman board off the shelves at Target to having her own pro model Toy Machine board, the Charlotte, North Carolina native might live the pro skateboarder life in LBC these days, but she certainly hasn’t forgotten her roots. And we learn all about her humble beginnings in the latest installment of Then/Now. Press play.

Who would've known Martin was a little park shark back in the day? So rad. All that throwback footage was super cool to see and really puts things into perspective, if you ask me. Georgia rips. There's no denying that. And she's had her foot on the gas for quite some time.

If you haven't seen her part in the latest Toy Machine video, Real Life Sucks, tap the post above and watch the entire video. Classic Toy Machine and the perfect intro to Georgia's skating. It's no surprise this ripper has her name on a board.

She talks about her favorite skate videos, favorite skaters, the squad she rolls with these days, crews from the past, her go-to tricks and so much more. It's a great episode and if you're a fan of Georgia, this is a must-watch. Dive in!
