Bio: Matt
Matt first got on a bike when he was 14 years old. He always loved sport bikes and was hooked as soon as he rode his first GSRX750. He rode it everyday all year round including in the snow. He rode that bike to the ground before he upgraded to his next bike.
Matt was trained at the BC Safety Council and at Saferway Instructor Training in Victoria. He attended instructor training programs at two separate facilities to ensure his skills as an instructor were the best that they could be. Matt passed both courses with flying colors; he graduated at the top of his class at both facilities with impeccable grades, and his teachers expressed nothing but positive comments about him and his rider training skills and potential.
Matt is the definition of an Urban Rider. He has ridden thousands and thousands of kms in urban traffic. He possesses the invaluable skill of being proficient at passing on his knowledge to other riders just like you.
Hes dealt with every situation possible while riding in urban traffic and has come up with a defensive riding system for each.
He is incredibly proficient and is a true natural at teaching, training and helping students become Survival Riders. If theres one thing thats obvious about Matt, its that hes experienced, professional, and exceptional at what he does.
Matt has been training riders full time for over 13 years in the GVRD. Thats more than 100,000 hrs of professional rider training! Hes helped ProRide to successfully train over 3000 students. Matt is here for you to help turn you into a Survival Rider.
