Here is a short but awesome Matt Reason part.



Warning - it does have a terrible Peter McBride slam in the beginning. Skip to :20 to start the part.

No.  This guy was my absolute favorite skateboarder.  His 411 profile was my favorite part ever.  I could also deeply relate to his struggles with disease and having to quit skateboarding because of it.  I've always held out hope for more Matt Reason footage.  I really hope this isn't true.

He had Lyme disease; not sure if that had anything to do with his death, but I'm pretty sure it's why he quit skating

FUCK THIS. Dude was one of the best to ever do it. Got to play S.K.A.T.E. with him at LOVE around '92ish and he played switch to give us youngin's a chance. That's the kind of guy he was. Wishing his family and friends love and strength.

I was awakened in the middle of the night by someone bidding on this video.  Those chimes never wake me up.  Creeps.

RIP, dude had an excellent style.

So bummed to hear this.

The Sub Zero video was on CONSTANT rotation when I was a young one.  Loved his part and it's even better when I watch it these days.

Thoughts to his friends and family, RIP

That Profiles part is really great.  Everyone has speed, skill and style these days.. but he really had it back then.  Best wishes to his family and friends.

i loved the symmetry 360s and front boards. sw 3 flip down city hall stairs in acme and sw bs flip stayed w/ me. he really embodies what ricky was saying about 'i'm skating that way. not regular not switch, just that direction.'

Physics ads used to blow my mind.  Never had a set but always wanted some.



Amazing how timeless everything about him was.  RIP Matt.

My heart goes out to his family and friends. Always heard nothing but good things about him.
Was/is one of my favorites, he had a great style and a switch pioneer.

Fucking bummed! My all time favorite skateboarder hands down. One of my all time favorite skate memories was getting to skate with him, Serge, Tony Cox, Matt Pales and a another Philly head whose name I can't recall. Took them around Berkeley, skated a delivery truck bumper, skated the tennis court banks. Damn I am in shock, he was way to young!!

It appears he had a bad case of the flu that turned into pneumonia. These complications led to heart failure. Such an unfortunate thing to happen. Whenever I'd watch this guy's parts it seemed like skateboarding clicked. He's who I would want to skate like. Rest easy Matt...
