Fox Racing Shox announced today that they've added freerider Matt Hunter to their roster of world-class athletes. Riding for 23 of his 27 years, Matt's experience comes through in his seemingly effortless ability to defy gravity.

"To say I'm excited to be joining the Fox Racing Shox team is a bit of an understatement," said Hunter. "This is so much more than just a sponsorship deal; I'm becoming part of a family that supports me and a team that includes so many great riders that I admire. They're fully behind my love for filming and photo projects and started lining up shoots for me before the ink even dried on the contract."

Hunter’s most recent film appearance include Lifecycles, which is due to drop next month, and Follow Me, released earlier this year. He's already working on his next feature. Filming is scheduled to begin later this month with a crew of his new Fox Racing Shox team-mates.

“Hunter's talent and passion for the sport is as big as the air he catches,” said Mark Fitzsimmons, mountain bike race manager at Fox Racing Shox. “We're all very excited to have him join the Fox Racing Shox family.”
