Matt Cummins is in Nederland bepaald niet de bekendste pro voor ons Nederlanders, maar bij Mervin manufacturing, de bouwers van Gnu en Lib tech snowboards hebben ze hem inmiddels al 25 jaar onder contract! Hij verzon zo’n beetje de eerste twin-tip snowboards en daar kunnen we hem eigenlijk nog steeds alleen maar dankbaar voor zijn. Lib tech ging ze destijds bouwen en anders was Lib tech er misschien wel nooit geweest (of niet zo groot). Ter ere van zijn 25e pro-model heeft Lib tech een mini docu uitgebracht, check die hieronder.

Wat Lib tech en Jamie Lynn over Matt Cummins zeggen:
Matt Cummins has the longest running pro model in snowboarding’s history, 25 years and counting. He has used this opportunity to continually push snowboard designs from the earliest skate influenced twin tip MC Kink to today’s powder hungry Nootka. His designs, priorities and style forever changed the sport and paved the way for generations of pros. We are proud to celebrate Matt’s 25 years with Mervin Manufacturing and the Lib Tech brand. This video is just a taste of the legacy of Matt and the Cummins family!
“His board was a ground breaking concept. It spear headed twin tip freestyle snowboarding, it created a genre. To have that kind of a brick in the foundation of snowboarding is truly a special thing. Matt deserves and is owed every ounce of that brick and it’s a big one. Matt and what he stood for and the way he rode and why he rode Lib Tech made me want to ride and be a part of what he stood for as well. Throughout the years having him build such a legacy with his board, he packaged all that awesomeness up, put a nice little bow on it and handed it right off to me and for that I can’t thank him enough. I owe him everything. What I’ve been able to achieve in my career came from Matt Cummins. I don’t think he get’s enough credit, so this is the opportunity, Matt, thank you so much brother.” –Jamie Lynn
