Matt Puorro – “Salvation”

November 25, 2015

Shad over at Snakebite keeping the sections from the “Salvation” BMX video that was released nearly 14 years ago already. This time around we get Matt Puorro’s section which is filled with a ton of pegless street and park riding. Matt put his big bag of tricks to good use for this video and came through with a handful of clips of stuff we just don’t see all too often. That ender is wild, too! Check it!

“Matt’s part from the 2002 Salvation video. Most of this is filmed in the Portland Or. area. Matt definitely helped push pegless riding in this section. His banger of a pegless tooth in a pool is still so gnarly on today’s standards.” – Snakebite BMX
