"Matt was wonderful. His message was so all encompassing. He is not just a trick biker, he is a college grad, plays and instrument, and was very well spoken. He used the right amount of humor, and kept the kids engaged. His tricks were AWESOME! One thing is for certain, whenever Matt hangs up his bike, he has the determination to do whatever he desires." |
Anne Best, 5th Grade Teacher Lumen Christi School Mequon, WI |
| "Today you serve as a role model for youth throughout Oklahoma, and they will look to you for guidance and inspiration. I am pleased that you are here to share your positive message of hope, dedication and determination." |
| Brad Henry, Governor Governor of Oklahoma |
| "We received such positive feedback on your performance from the students as well as the teachers. Everyone really enjoyed your show and the kids definitely took away some invaluable bike safety tips. You're a great role model for our children." |
| Julie Simmons, Parent Solomon Schechter School Skokie, IL |
"I wanted to write and thank you for an outstanding assembly at Grass Lake School District #36. Your program was both captivating and insightful. Since your performance during Red Ribbon Week, several parents and many students have approached me and said how much they enjoyed your show. Your approach, skills, and personal experience offered our students an excellent connection to the real-life dangers of drug abuse. Again, the Grass Lake School Community extends their appreciation and thanks for a job well done." |
| Terry O'Brien, Superintendent Grass Lake School District Antioch, IL |
| "I wanted to send you a note to let you know that the entire school ABSOLUTELY LOVED your program on Monday. I have heard many stories in the past few days from parents that their kids were really impressed and took away some very positive and affirming messages from you. So thank you again and if you ever need a reference for your program, you need not look further than St. Thecla School." |

"I just wanted to thank you again for your presentation. You really did a great job of capturing the emotions of all the students. Your message couldn't have been more perfect for our school. When you spoke about how you came in last place in your first competition, but didn't give up and you kept practicing to be the best clearly hit home for our school." |
| Randy Barnes, PTA President LIttle Canada Elementary St. Paul, MN |
"At first I couldn't help wonder why the PTA would bring a man who does bike tricks to a school assembly. I was bewildered...until you started talking about bike safety, never giving up, etc. Really, I was moved. So I just wanted to let you know that as an educator you have my full support and, as a person, my admiration. I hope that you continue to work with kids." |

"We have many convocations, but I must say this is by far the best one yet." |
| Anita Brown, Assistant Principal Marshall Middle School Marion, IN |
"What a fantastic show you gave for over 250 excited children and parents at Volunteer Park in Romeoville. Meeting you in person was thrilling for everyone. Seeing your medals up close and hearing about your background were valuable experiences for our audience. Parents and children appreciated your demonstrations about bicycle safety and the importance of wearing a helmet, walking a bicycle across intersections, and not trying dangerous moves in traffic. |
| Nancy Sauer , Children's Services Librarian Fountandale Public Library Romeoville, IL |
| It was a pleasure meeting you and thanks again for the most energetic and motivational assembly our school has ever seen. I'm sure you left an impression with many of our students (and possibly staff too!). Your bike safety lesson was at a level that the students could relate to and coming from a bike pro like yourself, I'm sure will be heeded by most. Plus it was really amazing to see all your stunts! |
