#277 Matt Gillespie on BMXing, Saving Lives & Setting Up Skateparks

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.

• 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
