A Close Call: Mat Galina - OI MATE!

Avatar

Mat Galina is well-known for sending it large. Mat usually gets his speed right the first time. This was a close one for him, getting hooked up and landing flat on his back before reaching the landing zone.

Ouch! Good thing Mat’s a tough nut, he got back up and stomped a solid trick for the next episode of Oi Mate! - WEATHER HAPPENS.

The nice ‘soft’ mound of snow they piled up for him to land on maybe?

Yeh obviously. But I mean what trick was he going for. Like, just airing over to it, bonking the roof, sliding the roof etc

He definatley had no where near enough speed to make the land pile.

Good to see riders wearing helmets and a mouthguard too. Matt has always worn both. After seeing him wear one I started to wear one too when park riding
