Matt Jones is a Woburn local and absolute shredder, and, at just 17-years-old there is so much room for potential. We have been wanting to shoot a video for a while now but never got around to it, we finally decided on a date to film before I headed out to Whistler for the summer, however living in the UK it obviously rained the whole time we were going to film, this did not put young Matthew off, we headed over to a few local spots and despite the rain Matt threw down! Matt is one of the few riders that has great style and tricks, he can steeze a whip on any jump before throwing a casual super flip. Matt is Sponsored by Identiti Bikes, Halo, TSG, Plush Suspension and Gusset Parts. Feel free to follow him on Twitter @Matt_Jones94

Superfantastic flip

Is this Jamie's best video? Think Matt will do well at any contests this year?

 of course you can do that when you are 17 because you know your mom will wash everything with love.. when you are 30 it is not the same anymore.. or perhaps just fear make you think of excuses..

 At 17, you injured yourself you stay home rest without worrying who's gonna pay the rent.

 that's why you learn how to do it when your 17 so when your in 30s you don't fall and injure yourself

 Life is 5h1t (!) when you look at responsibility with such focus and intent that you take no risk.
