I took Mateo Quist for a few laps in the bike park last week. He just turned 13 years old and his speed and style is absolutely unreal. I let you have a look by yourself:
I had met Mateo in 2018. At the time he was 10 and I followed him at the Coast Gravity Park down Coastal Cruise and Fly Deck.

how long as that been there? surprised someone would bother cutting/raking in a line where it's so busy... looks fun though, too bad it will get hammered and shut down now.
Yeah, Desire + Opportunity is a great combo! I wish more kids (or any of us) had the opportunity to ride amazing trails like he does locally. That kid rips!!
Man, at ten, he was better than 90% of the riders I've seen, and in just 3 years he's made quantum leaps in speed and style. Mateo can write his own ticket!
I was thinking the same. The kids obviously fast, and an absolute animal on the bike, but it does seem to be sped up in sections. Still an insane run by any standard! Good show Mateo!
Yeah , not so much now that you showed it to the entire world…thank you for that ! ( insert facepalm)
