While a solid freestyler, Matt is best known for his Step Up skills, backed by 3 XG Step Up gold, including one in 2010. When the pressure is on, Buyten digs deep and finds a way, even if it's not pretty. His 17-attempt 2004 battle with Jeremy McGrath when his shoulder popped out of socket twice is now XG legend, and in 2010 he and Ronnie Renner tied at 33' 6", but Buyten just gassed it harder and went bigger in overtime for gold. Buyten has begun marketing himself as more of an all-around rider, working on his racing speed and endurance as well as his flip tricks in hopes of battling for a Speed and Style medal.
