Addict Rider Matt McKeen Interview from Barcelona

As Addict is continuing to be on the rise with much help from it's Team of some of the sports best riders...It is impossible to ignore that they also have the sports top street rider, Matt McKeen. I recently caught up with Matt while he was in Barcelona with the Addict Crew and got a short interview in with him. Also check out the exclusive pictures we got for Inside-Scooters of Matt in Barcelona.




Steven: Mr. Matt McKeen, How have you been dude?

Matt: I been aightt pretty busy with school but i major in film so its
chill, doing some riding whenever i can. Same old Same old.

Steven: It seems like you've always been sponsored or on Teams from places outside the USA, why do you think that is?

Matt: Well my moms from england so I went over there a lot growing up, thats
how i met martin and tery which helped me out getting on micro then I
met Johann and Kevin when i went to montreux for micro, chilled with
them Maxime and Jandiv the whole time and then ended up leaving micro
when they started french id, and then the same with addict after
french id fucked us over


Steven: So now you're on Addict, how do you feel about that? And how do you feel about Addict as a company?

Matt: Im so hyyped on it, we've been through a lot together so it feels more
like a family than a team. Everyones down to get gnarly, party, chill,
blazee, travel, pretty much anything. but as a company I expect big
things, addict is completely rider based so there open to anything I
say. they dont fake, if they say there gonna do something it's gonna
be done, everythings super legit. plus the whole vibe of addict is
what scootering needs, its all about having fun and getting gnarly.


Steven: In the last edit we saw of you, you had some clips of you on a shred sled. Should we be worried that you are going to move on to Skateboarding, much like old OG riders Mike Dies and Kevin Vannauker moved on to Bmx?

Matt: hahah naww ill always be a scooter duder, skateboarding's just mad
fun, i get a lot of my influence from skating. no one else really
rides where i live cept for a couple people so i skate with the homies
every now and then. im down for anything, you give me a bike or
blades, ill ride it. i think thats why i scooter, its like a mix of
everything.

Steven: So you're in Barcelona right now, what's got you out there?

Matt: On a little euro tour with Addict to film for So What, (another super
legit trip Addict promised) its been wild. Barcelona is huge, soo
many spots i cant even keep track of them all. But at the same time
its been kinda shitty, too many god damn thieves. I woke up the other
morning to hear that our car window was smashed in and my scooter plus
Sebastien's (our filmer) laptop was stolen, and then the first day i
was here Maxime and Kevin got their bags stolen out of the backseat of
the other car so they've been in the same clothes the whole trip ahah.
But we made up for it, lots of footy and pictures and good times
chillin in the streets till 4 in the morning.


Steven: What can we expect from Matt McKeen in the future?

Matt: Hmm probably another dream team part, and the part for the addict
video. gnarlier riding, bigger rails, unseen tricks, yeeeee.


Steven: Any last words dude?

Matt: boner.



There you have it guys...When you have Matt McKeen calling out "bigger rails" and "unseen tricks" I'd say that's a big reason to keep an eye out for future stuff from Matt. And you can see it all as soon as it drops here on Inside-Scooters. So for all your news and updates on Addict, and the rest of the sport. Keep checking Inside-Scooters.
