Matt Priest Joins Amity!
In my eyes Matt Priest has been an iconic name in the bmx world for ages, one of the most level headed dudes around who can shred anything that’s put in front of him with a bigger smile than most. In my eyes Matt embodies all the elements that make for an untouchable rider, with a personality to match his immense talent on a bike, we couldn’t be happier to welcome him to the family following his decision to part ways with Kink. - Mikey
Read the press release below by Managing Director, Marc Brotherton:
‘Whilst out to dinner over Christmas with the family, Mr Bob Manchester calls up to ask if there was anything we could do for Matt Priest as he was thinking of leaving Kink. I was like err, hell yeah? Priesty is already on my dream team, let’s see about putting that to reality.
I asked Mikey King & the others for their thoughts and we were all totally stoked on the idea. After a few calls and email exchanges, I am pleased to say we came to an arrangement.
Since then we have been busy working on a signature complete bike & frame for Matt (which will be out later this year) and planning how & when to film Matt’s next edit.
Matt slots in perfectly to our image & the fact he is great friends with all the riders on the team means he will be totally at home on trips and sessions in the future. So far we’ve really enjoyed working with Matt & we’re looking forward to the future’ ¶ 19:03
It is with great pleasure that Amity welcomes Matt Priest to the team!
