Overview: Featuring current Yamalube/Star Racing/Yamaha factory pilot, Alex Martin, and freestyle motocross athlete, Garrett Ahlf, episode IV of The Spectrum Series transcends all action sports, championships, gold medals, paychecks; the list could on and on. Garret Ahlf opens up for the first time ever on camera about his father, who committed suicide in 2014, and how that not only effected him mentally and emotionally, but the struggles of walking into work at the family business every day.
Joining Ahlf, Alex Martin goes in-depth about his unique career as a professional racer and, after seven years as a privateer, 2016 (his eighth year as a professional) marks his first year as a full fledged factory rider. A-Mart opens up about the feelings of doubt and thinking of walking away from the sport, his worst year in 2013 with major team issues, and so much more.
Episode IV hopes to open up eyes to those struggling in not only their career, but also the battle with depression and suicidal thoughts and the implications of letting your depression get the best of you. As we said in episode one of season II, you may not recogizne names such as Garrett Ahlf, but after today, you will remember him and see that he is no different then you or I.
