Ketch Bikes – Matt Lough 2014 Edit

Check out this dialed new video featuring Matt Lough putting in work on parks and street spots around Chicago for Ketch Bikes! Matt brings plenty of style and a big bag of tricks, combined with some great film work making for a real good watch! Take a look!

“Matt Lough…a name that is ever so familiar in the Chicagoland area. Whether it’s because of his dry humor, tall lanky body, super positive attitude, or his destruction on a BMX bike. All I know Is all those traits equal one badass human.
Matt and I have been working on this piece since late spring. We’ve had some set backs with work schedules, weather, injury etc., but did not let that affect the outcome of this finish video.
So here it is.
Locations include: Chicago, Northbrook and Joliet, IL.
Enjoy.
