Matt Priest is an up and coming rider from the UK who is set to break loose on the international stage this year. His impressive dirt work has captured the attention of some big time sponsors, such as Kink, Relentless and Vans, and led to a recent win at the National Action Sports Show, in Somerset, England, in his first showing.

British-born Matt Priest celebrated his 20th birthday back in August 2009 in the English coastal town of Newquay, where he was taking in the 2009 Relentless Boardmasters and the Vans BMX Vert Competition. As 2010 opens, Matt Priest looks to set the stage for opening his career wide open and doing great things for the Kink team, which he joined back in November. Keep an eye out for his demo videos, and we hope to see him hit some of the competitions coming up across Europe, as he refines his skill and takes home a few more trophies.
