On time for Christmas he received his brand-new Intense Spider XVP from MS-Intense Factory-Racing. Being in good health he will now start preparing for the upcoming downhill World Cup season. At the end of the month Matti is going to fly to Temecula, California to check out his new 2008 M6 downhill bike.Matti is absolutely stoked to start riding again. Also Intense President Jeff Steber commented that he is looking forward to work with the Finnish talent on his new bike in preparation for the 2008 World Cup series.

Nice to hear Matti. I'm sitting here with fractured ribs gettin major cabin fever. If your injury has got you anywhere near as wound up as me with not being able to ride, channel it into your pedals dude!!
