Hi folks, man where do I start

.

Was at Epic this morning and watching a rad guy (not knowing who he was) bustin some monster air on the big vert at Epic. I asked if I could film him as his moves were just jaw droppingly awesome. Got chatting and asked his name: Matt, where from: Australia, how long ridin: 18 years, but I still didn't cotton on until he mentioned his surname.....yes the Matt Fairbairn

Matt was well cool to talk to, no ego or anything and was totally amazing to watch, don't think the vids do justice as to how high, witnessed loads of stuff including a 540 on the vert (but didn't catch it on film $:-\$ I mentioned radbmx to let him know where the vid would be posted and to feel free to check out this site. Just the entrance fee alone was worth it to watch this guy, and he had a ride of my mid school GT Vertigo!!! A very very big thanks to Matt

(if you read this) for letting me film on a couple of occassions and watch an amazing display of freestyle

.

Note, for some reason, each vid may take about 30 seconds to load so please be patient:

It is big. Significantly bigger than Leigh on Sea, but feels nice to ride. It would suit you Paul, more in proportion with your airs. I reckon you could nick an extra foot or two there.
