Martin Goes Trolling
J
GRMX/Yoshimura/Suzuki Su-
zuki Team rider, Alex Martin,
fully embraced the nickname he
was given as a "troll" while visiting
The Big Apple for the East Ruth-
erford Supercross, April 27.
Martin visited The Troll Experi-
ence, which is located in Manhat-
tan, New York City. So, how does
this relate to Martin and super-
cross? Trolls The Experience is
one of Feld Entertainment's (the
producers of Monster Energy
Supercross) newest partnerships
and is the first location-based
entertainment property in the
company's portfolio.
The temporary exhibit typically
is visited by children but wel-
comed Mr. Troll Train himself with
open arms. Martin went full tilt.
He was turned into a Troll himself,
got to choose the hair that best
suited him, catch all the confetti,
dance to a 3D pro-
duction, and finish
off the experience
with a visit from the
head troll, Poppy.
"This is a once-
in-a-lifetime experi-
ence; I'm going to
do it right," Martin
said while getting
his face painted a
bright blue, ear-
to-ear, with glitter
accents to bring it
into full effect.
Martin was not
the only motocross
talent to walk along the rainbow
road. Young riders and fans were
also invited to join their idol in
interacting with the Trolls. Martin
met and talked to every child that
was in attendance, giving them
the best experience possible.
After taking photos in the photo
booth for the group to make their
Troll theme memory book, Martin
led the party to a private room,
where he and the children contin-
ued the party with pizza and auto-
graphs. Everyone who attended
are now officially members of the
Alex Martin Troll Train fan club.
The exhibit is located at 218
West 57th Street and, because of
high demand, tickets have been
extended for DreamWorks Trolls
The Experience through Labor
Day, September 2, 2019.
