Our latest “Offerings” interview is with Matt Pritchard. Find out what skate video, album, book, and film he chose for you before finding out a bit more about him reconnecting with skateboarding after an injury demanded some time off…
Words and interview by Jacob Sawyer. Matt Pritchard and his dog Lemmy. PH: Dan Bentley
Matt Pritchard is, and always has been a force of nature. Our fond memories of him stem from halcyon days shared when things were simple, where a lucky few got to see him operating at the height of his powers. His visits to London involved him staying at Paul Shier’s house in Croydon which meant a front-row seat for Fairfield locals, a lot of memorable tricks, and some hilarious nights out. He played a big part in the growth of Panic Skateboards, the company that would go on to forge Blueprint. Contests were a different beast back then, drawing the entire UK skate scene, and Pritchard never failed to leave a lasting impression both on and off his skateboard. Looking back it’s easy to see that his larger-than-life presence, and innate capacity for comedy and chaos, were destined for a broader audience.
Following the Pritchard vs Dainton video, their audience expanded exponentially via the MTV show Dirty Sanchez which lasted five seasons and a movie. This would make Pritchard and the boys household names, and provide the platform for everything that has followed. Skateboarding would always be the foundation for all of the success, fame, and rock ’n’ roll living that transpired. It is something that has remained a constant for Matt even when advised otherwise. That’s why it was great to connect and be able to acknowledge a seminal Plan B skate video, and other releases that inspired him at the start of his journey, a period fuelled by progression that’s close to his heart. Our conversation then explores a Queen album that has remained part of his life since 1986, one that provided pre-skate stoke in the early days, and became the go-to soundtrack for the after-party. There’s more rock ’n’ roll romanticism to follow as Ozzy Osbourne’s memoirs are discussed, and then Tom Hanks’ iconic portrayal of Forrest Gump rounds out the selection.
After delving into the “offerings” Pritchard chose for us, our conversation shifted to his current plans and the role skateboarding plays amidst them. He has ditched the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle that underpinned the crazy time he lived through for an even more extreme regimen. In recent years he has embarked on a series of incredible challenges, including running from John O’Groats to Lands End, circumnavigating Wales via Triathlon, completing a half marathon every day for 30 days, conquering 10 ironman challenges in 10 days, and braving the Irish Sea and Atlantic Ocean by rowing. Those are just a select few of the incredible feats he has achieved, fuelled by the desire to destroy preconceptions that a vegan lifestyle makes you weak. It’s been amazing seeing recent footage of him pushing himself on a skateboard while simultaneously training to row across the Indian Ocean from Perth to Kenya. He remains an inspiration to push your boundaries, live well, eat well, and continue to do the things you love. Enjoy the following insights from Cardiff’s finest…
PLAN B – Questionable (1992)
You said it was hard to pick this, and that Public Domain (1988) and Video Days (1991) shared a similar special place for you. Before we start with this how did this two videos affect you?
When you get asked to pick a skate video after 40 years of skateboarding it’s not easy. They all mean something different. For me, when I had just started skating the first video I saw was Public Domain. Ray Barbee doing the No-Complys to that music (McRad- “Weakness”). I loved that fucking song, back in the day I actually tape recorded it from the video off the TV so I could play that song when I was doing my No-Complys, pretending to be Ray Barbee. That was the first skate video I sat down and watched until I wore the tape out. That’s what I’d watch to get inspired before going skating.
The next video after that for me that really hit home was when Blind brought out Video Days. That was the next step up, the next stage of evolution. They’re progression videos I guess. Guy Mariano’s part in that, he’s only young at the time but I remember those noseblunt slides he was doing on a kerb. Those type of videos, you’d watch them, then go out and try to do all the tricks you’ve seen.
There’s a part in Video Days where Gonz [Mark Gonzales] and Jason Lee are skating in Bristol. Before this video had come out we were in Bristol skating. We had been skating these banks and left to head for the next place. As we were skating away a car comes down and stops. These American guys said “do you know if there are any skate spots close by?” We told them where we had just left, and gave them directions to the banks. As they drove away it dawned on us that it was Gonz and Jason Lee in the car. I convinced everyone I was right and we skated after the car. Lo and behold it was Gonz and Jason Lee, and we sat there watching them skate these banks. Then Video Days came out after that with footage of them both skating in Bristol which must have been from that same day. I loved that video, really enjoyed it. After that, for me, the next video to push the boundaries was Plan B Questionable.
Do you remember the moment you first saw Questionable?
Yes I fucking do because there was so much hype about it. It was really expensive, it was about £35. These days you go on YouTube and everything is free but back then that’s what you had to pay. We didn’t have any money but my mate Craig Sullivan said he was going to buy it and we could all go back to his house to watch it. It was so exciting man, kids these days don’t realise, we were so excited to have it, I remember the black cover. We stuck it in and sat there.
Still to this day my first memory of that video is when it comes to the end of Pat Duffy’s section and he 50-50s that kinked rail. We saw it, it’s in slow motion, and we didn’t think he was going to make it to the end. Then he keeps going, and going, I remember all of us in the room were just spinning out when that happened. Everyone’s section in that video was unreal, and the music as well was really good.
This video put a lot of different music on the radar.
It really did. Mike Carroll’s part where it starts with the Beastie Boys, then you’ve got the shot of Embarcadero from the top of the building, and the C-block makes up Carroll. So good! What a fucking video.
How was it being a skateboarder in Wales in 1992?
We’re going back a long time here. There was a spot in Cardiff called the Cardiff Banks but I think that may have gone by this point. We had a very strong skate scene in South Wales. Everyone used to come from the surrounding areas, as far away as Swansea. People from Bridgend, the Valleys, they all used to catch the train into Cardiff, and we’d all congregate at the Cardiff Banks. We’d meet there on a dry day and visit different skate spots around the city from there. It was brilliant back then, life was so much simpler.
We didn’t have any mobile phones, the only communication you would have would be picking up the phone in the morning to call everyone you know. You’d have to ask your mother to use the phone first of course. You’d set a time to meet at the banks, then if someone didn’t turn up, they didn’t turn up. You’d wait around for a few people in case they were late then get to it. After an hour if that was the gang, that was the crew for the day. We’d start skating at 10am, maybe earlier. I remember having a milk round on the weekends I’d get up at 5am for, then I’d have a paper round after that. Then I would go skating from 10am or earlier, skate all day till about 3pm, then I had an afternoon paper round. So I’d skate all the way back home from town, do the paper round, then jump on my skateboard and skate back into town. We’s skate till 7pm or 8pm at night, then go back home, have some food, and repeat if it was dry the next day. That’s all we did.
Patt Duffy pushing the limits of what was possible with this 50-50 from his part in Questionable
Did you ever skate a Plan B board after seeing this?
I always wanted a Plan B board but they were too fucking expensive, same as Powell boards, I never had one of those because they were always a tenner more expensive too. I couldn’t afford one, they were £60 and normal boards were £42. It’s mad how that’s engraved in my head. I also remember Big Spin boards being £35 which was always an option if you didn’t have much money. Plan B boards were always that bit more expensive so I never had one.
You mentioned Pat Duffy, any other parts that really stood out for you in this?
Rodney Mullen, he really pushed the button in this one. Everyone in this video had insane sections. Sean Sheffey as well. I watched half of the video last night before I went to bed because I knew I was doing this with you. Sean Sheffey stands out, his part in the Life Skateboards A Soldier’s Story video did too, his part in that was just unbelievable. I’m digressing here but Kien Lieu has a part in that too, The Donger. He did this perfect frontside 360 ollie, no-one did that trick like him. He’d ollie right up in the air, point it down, and turn full 360. I think the only other person who had one that good was Donny Barley, he does one out of a kerb cut in Welcome To Hell. I’m going off topic here but so many things were going through my head after watching this last night. That Tim & Henry’s Pack Of Lies video too, didn’t that come out around the same time?
It came out the same year as Questionable.
That’s so good too, Henry Sanchez skating to Black Sabbath. He had this checkered shirt on in that video, I remember after watching that I went out and bought a checkered shirt, and cut the sleeves off. I had that checkered shirt for years.
“Anything that can take me back to those days gives me such a warm feeling…This video will always put a smile on my face, it reminds me of such amazing times”
Pulman always spoke about your ability to see something done in a video and translate it into your own skating pretty easily. What tricks did you take away from this? The pressure flip is at the tail end of it’s moment in the sun here.
The first people I saw do pressure flips were the Bridgend boys. I think I learned that trick the same night. Then once you’d got the one you learned all the different variations of it. I have no exact memory of specifics but a lot of things I saw in skate videos I was able to learn myself. I’m doing it right now. I’ve been skating this hip at the park, and I’m slowly introducing tricks that I used to be able to do, and re-learning them. Last week it was a frontside flip. Today I was trying a 360 flip but didn’t get it. If I get something in my head, it has to be done, and I’ll keep going until I fucking do it. If I don’t do it, it keeps playing on my mind and does my head in. That’s my process, it’s the story of my life really.
I was just thinking of something you mentioned in your Brain Drain interview. You said that the day Alvin offered to sponsor you at Radlands you were doing frontside nollie-late front foot flips over the hip, a trick from this exact era.
I can’t remember when I first learned the nollie-late front foot flip to tell you the truth. It was one of those tricks for me. You know when you get a trick and you’re just really confident with it, and know you can do it every go. It was just one of those tricks that worked. I remember doing a normal one going forwards, then it developed to the frontside 180 version, and so on.
I love Rick Howard’s part in this video. He does a really long line where he just keeps going and it reminds me of the old Fairfield days when you used to skate the length of that place hitting everything.
No way, that’s a compliment. Now you’ve just mentioned that guys name. I loved Rick Howard’s style, the way he did tricks, he always made everything look really good.
Why would you recommend this to someone skating now who has never seen it?
If someone wasn’t around back in the day I’m not sure if they could appreciate the progression we were witnessing. This shift in what was possible, and the change from what we’d been used to before that. But they should watch it, it’s just such a sick vid, the soundtrack is banging, the skaters are unreal and they have been for many years. Sit down and watch it, it’s an hour long. I was watching it in bed last night and it just took me back. I could feel exactly how I was feeling back then as I was watching it which is mental. Then I realised I’m in 2024 and it fucking sucks arse, hahaha. Anything that can take me back to those days gives me such a warm feeling, they were happy days with no worries. The only thing that could do my head in back then was if it was raining. This video will always put a smile on my face, it reminds me of such amazing times.
A Kinda Magic – Queen (1986)
Am I right in thinking this is a childhood favourite?
Yeah definitely, I was in the Queen fan club when I was fourteen. I just loved that band. When I used to get a bit of extra money and had no skateboard-related expenses I used to go and buy an album. I’m sure kids today may not understand that either but I used to go into HMV and buy the latest album that had come out, it was ace. With this record A Kind of Magic I loved the album cover which had those cartoon drawings of them. I loved the band, that album, and the album artwork so much that I took it to a pair of jeans. Do you remember back in the day when you could get jeans with Fred Flintstone on the leg of them? I bought a normal pair of jeans and painted the A Kinda Magic album cover onto the leg. Christ! I was walking around everywhere with those on.
I had a video with Queen’s Live at Wembley gig, and just like a skate video I watched that over, and over again. Then going into my later years, my partying years, every time I used to get back to my house at night I would play YouTube and put Queen on all of the time. When Freddy would sing “Ay-Oh!” to get the whole crowd going, you have no idea how many times I have watched that gig, unreal.
Do you remember watching the Live Aid show when it was televised live?
Yeah I do remember watching that, it was in 1985, we were living in my old road, and the weather was really warm. I remember my parents watching it as well. They were all off their heads, in later years I found out that Status Quo brought a massive bag of sniff and they all got off their tits backstage, different times.
It’s hard to explain the impact of a concert like that too, the whole world was tuned in.
Yeah, you just couldn’t get that these days, it wouldn’t happen, and Queen took the show away. Still to this day that goes down as being the best live performance of all time. Freddie Mercury was such an incredible front man, the best who has ever lived, for me anyway.
What was the stereo setup for you first playing this album?
It was the Hi-Fi in the bedroom, graphic equaliser on there, tape deck. I’d put the album on, play it as loud as it would go until my parents started shouting at me to turn it down. Then I’d turn it down a little bit until they continued shouting. I’d keep turning that dial, hahaha. That would have been the set up, listening to that album before going skating. I love the whole album. With other bands you’ll have an album, and I’ll only like a couple of songs. But any time I bought a Queen album, I’d like every song, and play the thing from start to finish. They had so many hits.
“With other bands you’ll have an album, and I’ll only like a couple of songs. But any time I bought a Queen album, I’d like every song, and play the thing from start to finish”
What’s the closest you’ve got to seeing Queen?
I was meant to be at the famous Queen Live at Wembley show in 1986. My auntie knew what a big fan I was and had bought tickets for us to go and see them. Unfortunately she got breast cancer so we couldn’t go in the end. Later on in life when the [Dirty] Sanchez stuff was going on we ended up being invited to the Kerrang! awards. We had a table, me, [Lee] Dainton, Panch [Michael Locke], and [Dan] Joyce. We were sat there and Brian May was there at the awards, fuck me I was starstruck! I couldn’t believe it. You can’t explain it, I’m 51 now, and I have loved Queen since I was a teenager. Seeing Brian May in the flesh was pretty special.
Later on I met Roger Taylor’s son Rufus through some people I knew, turns out he was a big [Dirty] Sanchez fan. I ended up going out on the piss with him in London, and he invited me to his birthday party. I got the invite through, and the address was Roger Taylor’s house. Damien Hirst’s missus at the time Maia, the mother of his kids, is a Gumballer and I went to stay with her and my friend Buttsy [Butler]. We were in a car with Buttsy, Maia, and her mate Debbie. I didn’t know who Debbie was just that they were mates. We were going out in London, and Debbie was driving. Her phone starts ringing when we’re in the car and it was on loudspeaker. I could hear the dude on the other end of the phone. The more he’s talking, the more his voice sounds familiar. I turned round to see Buttsy, and Maia laughing with their hands across their mouths because they could see I knew who it was. It was Roger Taylor on the phone, and it was his wife Debbie who was driving. I was spinning out.
How was the party?
The party was at Roger Taylor’s house, the family house. I drove my van there with my missus. There was a special entrance, when I say house, the house was on the top of this hill, and it was surrounded by all of these fields, it was fucking insane. They had a huge tent put up for Rufus’ birthday. Roger Taylor was in there, I was pinching myself thinking “what am I doing here?”, it was unreal. I was so starstruck I didn’t even have the guts to go up and ask him for a photo. This was around 2013. We stayed there all night and I got absolutely off my tits. I ended up losing my missus.
Somehow I ended up driving my van, on private land by the way, and crashing it into the side of a tree that was on his grounds. I managed to find my missus though, turns out she was in the back of the van when I crashed into the tree, she had no idea what was going on. This story is just coming back to me now. We fell asleep but Buttsy ended up back at the house. They had a swimming pool, and next to the pool was this giant statue of Freddie Mercury. It was the statue from the “We Will Rock You” musical. There’s a photo Buttsy sent me of him by the pool with this giant Freddie in the distance. I missed out on seeing that, I was gutted but that was that.
What did you think of the Bohemian Rhapsody movie?
I loved it, Rami Malek did such a good job of playing Freddie. He had a hell of a life.
Have you ever caught a tribute band?
My mate Alex Dan Simmons heard that Queen were playing in St David’s Hall in Cardiff, I thought that was a small venue for them to play but he bought us tickets to go. He called me up to check I realised it was a Queen tribute band. I actually thought we would be seeing Brian May, and Roger Taylor. They were great though, the guy sounded exactly like Freddie Mercury, and they were fucking amazing. Then I went to see Brian May, and Roger Taylor with Adam Lambert singing at Birmingham NEC. That was absolutely unreal. Freddie came on the stage in the form of a hologram when Brian May was playing “Love of my Life”, it was quite emotional actually, amazing.
I am Ozzy – Ozzy Osbourne (2009)
More musical inspiration, are you a big Black Sabbath fan?
I wouldn’t say I’m a massive Black Sabbath fan, more of a fan of Ozzy [Osbourne] but I do like Black Sabbath yeah. There’s something about Ozzy that I really like. He is a hell-raiser, a nutcase, and just a working-class Brummie boy who happened to make a load of money. I’m a big fan of Ozzy because of who he was, who he is, but I do love Black Sabbath as a band. Jim Hickey who was the director of [Dirty] Sanchez was working with Ozzy at one point, and he told me he’d got me a present. He gave me the I am Ozzy book, and Ozzy had signed it for me on the inside cover. It says “To Pritchard, you ain’t got nothing on me. Best wishes, Ozzy Osbourne”. I couldn’t believe it.
What impact did the book make on you? 
I remember reading the book and thinking what a nutcase, he was flat-out! At the time of reading it, it was a bit of a bad inspiration. It inspired me to really do more any time I went out partying. It made me want to put more shit up my nose than I normally would. I was thinking if Ozzy could do I, I can do it.
Any standout moments?
It’s a great read, I couldn’t put it down. My memory isn’t so good but there’s one part I remember clearly. They were all in a house in LA shovelling shit up their noses, and they had loads of it. They got so paranoid from doing it constantly that they thought the police were after them. There was a knock on the door and they told Ozzy to flush it because they thought it was the police. He refused to waste it so he shovelled it all up his nose. Then they found out it wasn’t the police, it was just one of their mates but he ended up completely pinged off his head. That is just one of many crazy stories.
People may conclude from seeing Ozzy on TV that he’s not he most coherent survivor of fame but this doesn’t disappoint right?
No, there are a lot of memories from that time, he is obviously surrounded by people who have helped him remind him. I’m sure Sharon [Osbourne] has helped him remember things, or helped him with those kind of stories. It’s interesting though when you look at it. These people who have lived these massive Rock N’ Roll lifestyles, end up living to a ripe old fucking age. Lots of these people who spent years doing all of these drugs end up living longer than people who looked after themselves.
“To Pritchard, you ain’t got nothing on me. Best wishes, Ozzy Osbourne”
Do you think a character like him could ever exist again?
Hardly, they don’t make them like that anymore. It was encouraged back then I guess, it’s not encouraged any more. If anyone did come close they wouldn’t make an effort to highlight it, they’d be trying to cover it up if anything.
What’s the closest you got to meeting Ozzy?
When we are doing the [Dirty] Sanchez thing, The Osbournes show was out at the same time, and MTV were doing this Seven Wonders of MTV thing. Ozzy was one of the seven wonders, and they chose me as one of them as well. I couldn’t believe it, it was nuts. I was on the same fucking bill as Ozzy, how did that even happen? Jack Osbourne was the guy narrating the series, and they did a piece on each different person. Being on the same bill as Ozzy is something I’ll never forget but I never got to meet him, I would love to though. I never got to see Black Sabbath either, it’s a shame, Ozzy lived for playing live but had to turn it in because of his health.
Your dog’s called Lemmy. I imagine the inspiration for his name is a book on your pile as well.
Motorhead man, Lemmy’s god isn’t he? He’s my god anyway. Lemmy and Freddie were two amazing frontmen. I love Lemmy’s outlook on life, his political stance, and everything else. I named the dog after the man himself.
Would you ever consider writing a book of your exploits?
It’s been on the cards for many years. I’ve been working with somebody over the last few years, and I’ve got a lot of stuff jotted down. We’ve got a lot of stuff on the dictaphone that’s saved for now. There will be one, we’ve been chipping away for a while. When I was rowing across the Atlantic I did a diary entry every single day so there’s a book there really too. I’m not sure if you’ve noticed from talking to me but my memory is fucked, little bits come into my head here and there. I think I will have to ask people who were close to me, and lived with me through it all to see what they remember, and get the whole picture.
Forrest Gump – Robert Zameckis (1994)
Why was this your top pick?
I couldn’t even begin to tell you how many times I have watched this. I love this film because I can relate to it a bit. Every time I watch it I see a little bit of me in him. I think that’s it really I see myself in him. I love how the story is pieced together, it’s got everything really, highs, lows, it’s quite emotional. It makes me feel good when I watch this film.
Would this have been one you first saw in the cinema?
I did watch this one in the cinema. I’m not the greatest cinema-goer because I’m inclined to fall asleep but this was the perfect film. When I sit down to watch this I’m totally engrossed from the moment it comes on. It captures me from the word go. I really can’t put it into words, it’s just an amazing film.
It’s filled with US history, such a good commentary on Vietnam from all kinds of perspectives.
There are so many stories in one story, it’s genius. I want to watch this again now. He has so many different relationships with people. His relationship with Jenny, his relationship with lieutenant Dan, and how that changes, and evolves. It’s heartwarming, just an incredible story.
“When I sit down to watch this I’m totally engrossed from the moment it comes on. It captures me from the word go”
With a great soundtrack too.
It’s another film with an amazing soundtrack, really fucking good. It’s very quotable too. My other favourite film is Twin Town. The amount of quotes that Welsh people know from that film is mental. When we would come back to the house for the after party over the years. Queen would always go on first, and as things started calming down we’d put Twin Town on and laugh our heads of.
Have you ever read the book?
I haven’t, I’m shit with books to be honest. That is unless something grips me straight away, if it does then I can’t get my head out of it but it’s rare that happens. If it does I’ll be reading something every spare minute that I have. The first book I realised that I could read was Robinson Crusoe back in the day, I couldn’t put the fucking thing down. Ever since it has only been certain books like I am Ozzy that have grabbed me.
Why should someone who has never seen this film take it in?
If you haven’t seen Forrest Gump then you haven’t fucking lived. That’s a crime against humanity. Every single person should have seen this film, it should be part of the school syllabus, part of every teacher’s responsibility. Forrest Gump shows you how to live your life.
We’re stoked to see recent footage of you skating. You had to take some time out right?
I went out to Dubai with Forties in 2019 before all that Covid shit kicked off. I was skating and I did a frontside grind over this gap on this big quarter pipe and I went flying flat on my back. I took this big slam on day two. I fucked myself, that was me done. Kris Markovich was with us and everything. I was gutted, stuck in Dubai, couldn’t skate, and I really wanted to because there were so many sick parks. When I got home I went to have an X-Ray and I had fractured my spine. I was pissed off, then Covid happened. It seemed like every time I jumped on my skateboard I hurt myself. To the point where I thought I have to retire from doing this thing, even though I didn’t want to. I had to go with the mindset of “If I fuck myself, I fuck myself”, and accept that’s the way it is. The problem with me is if I hurt myself and can’t do anything else because of that my head goes to pot. That’s always the worry but in the end I decided I can’t live my life like this. I want to do what I love, if I hurt myself in the process that’s just the way it is. That’s why I started skateboarding again.
Recent backside flip at Spit & Sawdust skatpark in Cardiff
What’s the process like for you these days?
This morning I got up, went to the gym, then went for a dog walk before going to the park. I go for a skate on Tuesday mornings, and Friday mornings. I’ve been skating at Spit & Sawdust skatepark in Cardiff, we have a private session with all the boys. It takes me a good half an hour to warm up these days, then another half an hour having a proper skate. That’s pretty much the deal really, I’m really enjoying it right now. It’s a game of trying to do tricks I used to be able to. Every week I’ll work on one trick, and see if I get it. It’s not just skating it’s hanging out with the boys as well, people I haven’t hung out with for a long time. It’s nice just cruising. Earlier I was doing half cabs, frontside 180s, and backside 180s over the hip. That felt fucking nice so I kept doing it, if it feels good keep doing it, so that’s what I did. That’s before I started trying the 360 flip which I didn’t make this time around. That process of just doing something simple, those three tricks over the hip, felt good. Long may it continue.
What’s new with you? What projects do you have on the boil that you can talk about?
I’ve just launched a range of training supplements, plant-based protein powders, plant-based pre-workout shakes, hydration, gummies, stuff like that. That’s what I’ve been concentrating on recently. I’ve still got my tattoo shop and barbers in Cardiff City Centre. We just celebrated ten years in February so that’s doing pretty well. I’ve got a few things going on as always.
Everything now is based around health and wellness because that’s what I’m interested in at the moment, keeping fit, looking after myself, and trying my best to inspire others to live a better, cleaner life. I’m also working with someone on something that’s going to launch very soon, I can’t say any more about that right now though. That’s also based on health and wellness, something to help others live a similar kind of life. Then skateboarding really.
“As we speak right now, I should really be on the Indian Ocean, but that mission has been put back to next year. In 2025, I will be rowing from Perth, Australia, to Kenya in Africa.”
Is there any more rowing on the cards?
As we speak right now, I should really be on the Indian Ocean, but that mission has been put back to next year. In 2025, I will be rowing from Perth, Australia, to Kenya in Africa. That’s 5000 miles. It will be three months at sea so I’ll be rowing three hours on, three hours off, 24-7 until I reach my destination. That’s the next big mission.
What advice would you give to anyone considering a vegan lifestyle?
What are you doing eating flesh for in the first place? That flesh is full of fear, it comes from an animal that was absolutely shitting itself about going to it’s death before it was killed. What you’re eating is full of that animals fear. Whenever anyone considers a vegan lifestyle people tell the not to, they tell them they’re going to be weak. I think I’m evidence that veganism doesn’t make you weak or give you lack of energy. If you follow me on socials you can see that I am fucking full of beans, use me as an example. Veganism does the opposite, it gives you loads of energy, it helps you row across oceans, and do ten Ironmans back to back. Go vegan.
Thanks for your time mate. We look forward to seeing some more regular clips appearing. Any last words?
Get gnarly.
We want to thank Matt for taking time out of his busy schedule for this conversation. At the time of publishing he just landed the 360 flip he talks about battling in this interview. You can see that by following him on Instagram. Keep up to speed with everything he has going on, and everything he has done at MathewPritchard.com. Thanks to Dan Bentley for the portrait of Matt and Lemmy.
If you enjoyed hearing Matt talk about Questionable we recommend watching The Moment Skateboarding Changed Forever for more Pat Duffy appreciation.
