About ShredTrail

Hey! I’m Matt, the creator of ShredTrail. I’m obsessed with mountain biking (I ride a Santa Cruz Bronson v1), and whether I’m out riding in the mountains, or my local trails at the bikepark, I’m in my happy place. On this site I try and share my mountain biking obsession with as many people as possible. Enjoy!
