Mat Houck caught our eye a while ago with videos like this one and winning the world’s longest ice pick at the Texas Toast Jam, taking home a toaster filled with cash. It’s hard to stand out in a BMX mecca like Austin, but Matt does just that. With guys like Aaron Ross, Tom Dugan, and George Boyd pulling for you, stepping onto our flow team was natural.

To kick things off, here’s his first bike check with us. Click around the flipbook above to get a closer look. Stay tuned because we’re sure you’ll be seeing plenty more of him…

Justin Simpson:
Gap to 50/50

We got multiple angles of this monster clip by Justin Simpson in our New Mexico Travel Log. With a ledge blocking a clear view of the rail, it’s a blind run-up until that perfect last minute swoop into it. Justin handled it like a champ and even let out a casual mid-gap pause before unleashing the fury of the dragon. Thou rail has met its slayer, REJOICE!
