Known Aliases: MattPatt, Rooster, HuckThat, Instinct CURRENT BIKE(S): For Downhill I ride a 2010 Trek Session 88, a Trek Scratch 7 for as my do-it-all weapon and a Trek Ticket for Dirt Jumping and 4X/DS.  FAVORITE TRAILS: Tough to pick one, my own creations will always come first, like the new Duthie Hill flow lines or some of the exit 25 trails that are no longer with us.  Other people's trails, like pretty much anything on the North Shore, or Whistler play a huge part in influencing our building and riding. PREFERED RIDING STYLES: I'm pretty much into just pinning it and going fast, love to jump and will occasionly work on tricks.  But just plain ol' big air and smooth style is good enough for me!  I also love racing, competing with myself and others to be a better rider.  Racing has taught me how to control a bike and given me the motivation to really focus on improving how I ride. RACING CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: 2nd in Cat 1 DH at 2009 US Nationals in Sol Vista CO. 1st Overall Fludride Cup Cat 1 DH 2008 & 2009 2008 Whistler Crankworx 3rd in Giant Slalom and 3rd in Air DH Master Men USA CYCLING LICENSE #: 231152
