Hard Hitting Questions with the Loop of Doom Mastermind
We think it is safe to say that Matt MacDuff is most famous for his heartbreaking 2016 crash on his 40-foot Loop of Doom. If you haven’t heard about the Loop of Doom or Matt’s attempt to ride the behemoth, you should totally get your googles on and check it out. It seems like just yesterday when things didn’t go Matt’s way on the big loop, but it has actually been 3 and half years, so we were stoked when Matt dropped a new video, Matt MacDuff, Revenge, last month on YouTube.
“Matt is intense,” said Brad Waldron, boss and resident lighter, softer helmet advocate. “When he signed with us, I went riding with him locally and all he kept talking about was this Loop of Doom. Nothing was going to stop him from doing the Loop of Doom. It’s all he talked about. Other than this Loop of Doom thing he’s a pretty normal guy. Personally, I hope he never attempts it, again. I like Matt too much for that.”
MacDuff as a risk taker, all around good guy and we have watched him travel the globe throwing his bike at anything and everything he can find.
We can’t get enough of Matt and we are pretty sure you feel the same way, so we reached out to see if we could get him to answer some questions we’re pretty sure no one but Kali would ask him.

Do you remember your first bike? Can you tell us a story about it?
I had a 2005 Kona that I cut lawns for a whole summer saving up to buy. One of my first rides out, I jumped a big drop to flat in my local town. I lined it up perfect, however the back wheel flew out of the drop outs...still rode it out, grinding the rear triangle of the frame on the ground.

Star wars, for sure.
