This shot of Matt Cordova at Red Bull Dreamline this year IS BMX…copyright Red Bull Media House
California has been very good to Matt Cordova (Haro Bikes). He has been slaying it on a bike for years but when he made the jump to California via Oregon from Colorado his riding hit a new level. Between having a spot like FOD Trails as a home spot and putting in work doing shows with Team Soil Matt has become really really good at bikes. We were stoked to have him come by our new park in Denver called Evolve Action Sports Park recently. While he was here Nate Richter managed to stack a few clips of him and put together this killer exclusive edit shot in just a couple of hours at Evolve. We also took the opportunity to do a fresh interview with Matt … Make sure to follow Matt on Instagram at matt_cordova
