Matt is outside skating.

About Me

Hi! My name is Matt and I've been skating for about 6 years. I like freestyle and street the best and usually go to parking lots to warm up before I go to any street spots. I spend a lot of time doing old school tricks and messing around with new ideas. Other than skating I like to read, work on computers, work on cars, and practice Le Parkour. Nothing beats just going out and skating though. Attempting to find enjoyment in everything is important to me. My life has been very strange thus far and I'm as distant from the paths that most people take as one can get while still going about existing in some way. It's hard to explain. It's like everything freezes and I'm the only one able to move about. I usually imagine most things as if they were different than they actually are for me. It helps me put things in perspective. Photography, writing, drawing, and Le Parkour are all stress relievers for me but nothing comes close to skateboarding. I don't think I'd even exist without it at this point, haha.
