Fun Facts about Matt

Matt brings a certain daredevil streak to the team!
In 2012, Matt learned to solo skydive, completing 9 jumps involving turns, speed changes and rolling. He explains that he did this, simply because “his housemate and himself were bored over university holidays!”

In 2016, Matt went downhill mountain bike riding down the “World’s Most Dangerous Road” – the famous “Death Road” in Bolivia. In actual fact, we are lucky to have him with us, because true to its name, the road nearly proved to be his end, with Matt nearly losing control on the bumpy, rocky switchback track and plummeting down a mountain cliff!
