How Matt got his groove back


We're all relieved and glad to see that Matt has found his filming groove. With hand on hip and lens blower in back pocket, Matt is strategically placed and prepared to film nearly all skating maneuvers. Now you're all asking yourselves questions, as you should be, such as, "Hasn't Matt always has his filming groove? How did he lose it? Did he ever lose it?" Well, not that Matt ever lost it, but we'll just say he put it on hold for a while. You see, after the filming of our first video, stress levels where a little high, and Matt took a "mountain retreat" in the jungles of Cambodia. Turned out that Matt gathered quite a following while he was living in the ruins of ancient temple grounds. Matt read poetry and philosophized all day to his followers. Command back at home wasn't too happy with Matt's disappearance and sent one of our crew out to bring Matt back home. After he didn't return, Command sent me out to find my brother and bring him back. When I found Matt, he had lost all touch with time and reason as reading too much philosophy had turned his brain to scrambled eggs (philosophy will do that to you kids, stay away from it!). As I approached Matt, hidden in the shadows of his temple, I heard his deep, shrill voice ask me:
"Are you an assassin, sent to kill me?"
"...I'm a skater."
Wiping his bald head with a cool, wet rag, Matt confidently responded, "You're a grocery boy sent on an errand by store clerks to collect a bill."
After serving up Matt some Jim Morrison machete treatment, Matt changed his mind and decided to come back home. Now that he's here, we're back in full action filming for the up and coming "Bolts of Thunder Gone Wild" video...
