Matt Gillespie is a die hard BMX fanatic who has dedicated his adult life to the pursuit of seeing Skateparks built across Northern Ireland.

He’s built three indoor Skateparks, runs a dare devil stunt team and fronts an organisation who seek to teach every child in the land how to safely ride a bmx, stunt scooter or skateboard.

In the last 5 years Matt has added father and husband to the CV and now has 2 of his own adrenaline junkies to enjoy the action sports lifestyle with him.

In today’s conversation we chat about:

The E Myth
How he got into BMXing at 9-years-old
Why he gave 20-years of his life to the sport
Starting his own skateparks
Working with Rihanna
Saving someones life
And the impact COVID has had on childhoods across our nation

Check it out.
