CRUST DIVING
WORDS and PHOTOGRAPHY :: STEPHEN OLIVEIRA If it’s dirty or deemed impossible by others, Mat Call is all about taking the plunge. Hey, it can’t be any worse than some of these women I’ve seen him with... If I could think of one word to describe Mat it would be “crusty.” And no, not in a bad way. Mat DOES shower. I associate “clean” with guys who skate the pretty spots. They may be jumping down huge things at times and getting broken off, but the spots are still pretty and the tricks look effortless. Mat skates the dirty; the dirtiest of the dirty, and powers through them like a hot knife through butter; something the pretty, clean guys would shake their heads at.

This pile of rubble that Mat’s tossing himself into is the Michael Phelps of the crust Olympics. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from the countless years of knowing Mat, it’s that nothing is truly impossible, especially if you open (or impair) your mind, break away from the chains that others have set, and just go for it. If it’s crusty, it’s a must see!
