Matt Closson

Bio [+]

Matt grew up in San Diego riding BMX since he was just 6 years old. Jumping off curbs turned into jumping dirt jumps and the progression hasn’t stopped. He moved to Las Vegas in 2006, didn’t really know many people there, but after riding some of the local parks, people knew who he was. Matt is one of the few riders in Vegas that rides anything you put in front of him. He’ll throw down smooth lines with big tricks at the park, go higher than everyone else at the trails, and get tech on the streets. Matt always has a smile on his face when he rides. It could be the Young Jeezy bumpin in his headphones, or the satisfaction from the Roberto’s he just ate. Both on and off of his bike Matt is a bunch of fun to be around. If you see Matt shredding a spot near you, be sure to give him a high five!
