    Matt

    Matt’s passion for mountain biking grew from the sense of freedom and spirit of adventure that comes with any mountain bike ride. Nothing beats the feeling of a first descent down a trail that started as little more than a line on map and an idea in your head, or the rush of adrenaline that comes from nailing all your lines on your favourite track. Sharing these experiences and feeling the collective buzz of energy is what Matt lives for.
