17th in 2006 Dew Tour Matt's once-promising Freestyle career has been derailed by a bad right shoulder. However, he's still a Step Up threat -- he had a classic duel with Jeremy McGrath in Step Up at XG '04 despite the fact that Matt's shoulder popped out twice during the comp, and he was second in '05. The surprise '03 XG gold medalist has had three surgeries on his right wing since Sept. '04, and he says it finally feels normal as of May '06.

Matt has seen his once-promising Freestyle career derailed by a bad right shoulder. However, he's still a Step Up threat -- he had a classic duel with Jeremy McGrath in Step Up at XG '04 despite the fact that Matt's shoulder popped out twice during the comp. The surprise '03 XG gold medalist has had two surgeries on his right wing since Sept. '04, but it's still not right.

Matt entered XG '03 as a potential Step Up medalist, but few could've predicted his gold medal performance that unseated the undefeated three-time defending champ, Tommy Clowers. He's been hot ever since and sits in first in IFMA points after the first half of the '04 season. Broke his right fibula 6-18-04 at the Vegas WFA XG qualifier, but expects to ride at XG '04.
