Hey my name is Matt Minder I’m a Colorado local, born and raised. When i got into high school all of my friends were skating and always having a good time so i figured i would give it a shot. I fell in love right away, ever since that first day I have skated my butt off. I try to make an effort to at least get a good session in every day no matter the conditions. Everyday its go go go go with our crew, we seek the sense of fulfillment for landing new tricks. I wouldn’t be skating like this if it wasn’t for my friends, family, and The Stash. They all help out a ton. Hopefully in a few years I will be doing something big with skating, dream it, believe it, do it.
