10 Questions – Matt L.
Most people don’t know that TeamStunter.com’s own Matt L. was the first stunter that King-Cold.com ever sponsored. That was something like 2 or 3 years ago- and without him, I don’t think that King-Cold.com would be what it is today. We’ve met so many great stunters because of Matt, so you know it wouldn’t be right if he didn’t get a chance to explain himself in 10 Questions.
So, for all of you who don’t know who the stoppie king is, well after these questions- you may have a better idea about the man who will be winning a stoppie comp near you.
Big Scott has described you as the rockstar of TeamStunters, where do you think you fit into the team?
Well I try to bring a little excitement wherever we are, whether it be at a show or throwing some down at the bar. We always seem to have a blast wherever we are.
You’ve become quite well know in the stunt world for your stoppie prowess, why do you think stoppies have come so easily to you?
I’ve really focused alot on stoppies the past few yrs. I can remember like it was yesterday trying to roll stoppies on my ‘02 R1 and going maybe 20ft before the back end would start to veer. It was a challenge I was determined to master, so I spent months and months just going out to the spot rolling countless endoes until it started to click. To this day, the addiction is unmatched, and and I wouldnt trade the rush and excitement I get for anything.
If you weren’t a stunter, what occupation do you think you would have?
Funny you ask, but ever since I was little I wanted to be a cop. So glad I didnt go that route, lol
Who would you like to go face to face against in a longest stoppie competition?
I would actually want to roll against Eric Hoenshell, just for the fact that he beat me by a freakin foot at stuntwars 05 and stole first from me …I want my revenge! lol
What’s the best part of being a stunter?
The rush I get everytime I get on the bike, can’t beat it. And the travelling, definately fun times.
When you’re old, gray and collecting a social security check- how do you want to be remembered in the world of stunt?
The guy that rolled super, gangsta high, off the brake, stoppies…And was a really down to earth guy that would help anyone.
There’s video of you getting shamed by Scott with some shaving cream- what’s the best prank you ever played on Scott?
You know what, this one has yet to come, it’s just been building for the past yr or so. But it’s coming, oh yes, it’s coming…Muahahaha
What’s your most favoritest stunting memory?
I would have to say riding at Reliant Stadium in front of 40,000 screaming people…Will never forget that.
McDonald’s or Burger King?
I’m gonna have to say McDonalds, because someone once told me “You have more combos than McDonalds”
What was it like when you rolled your first big stoppie?
One word…Addicted
