Duration: 49:48 Views: 3.1K Submitted: 1 year ago
Description: Get ready for a session with one of the most technical skateboarders in the game! UNLEASHED is proud to welcome 28-year-old street skate innovator Matt Berger from Kamloops, Canada. In conversation with The Dingo and Danny, the multiple X Games medalist and Olympic athlete shares his inspiring career from small town beginnings to stadium events. Raised in a small town in British Columbia, Matt Berger asked for his first skateboard at age 5. Supported by his father, who also captured his son’s ahead-of-his-age tricks on camera, the prodigy earned his first flow sponsorship at age 10. Endorsed by skateboard icon Rodney Mullen, he moved on to full-blown sponsored status at eleven – and proceeded to make his mark as one of the most technical (and consistent) riders on the circuit. Berger won Damn Am Canada in 2009 and made history in 2014 as the first amateur to compete with big-ticket pros on the Street League Skateboarding (SLS) series. Pro since 2015, he’s earned two X Games medals, dropped legendary video parts, and represented Canada in the Tokyo Olympics. And no, his last name is not pronounced ‘burger’!
