It's finally here. The Matt Walker interview! Read below for everything you probably ever wondered about your favorite red-headed aggressive inline freestyle skier. Matt does awesome skiing and in his spare time mashes up music, studies the theory and practice of business at the University of Colorado (Go Buffs!), and thinks. He thinks, therefore he is. All this and more in the full Matt Walker Interview.

What is your name?
William Matthew Walker
Where do you live?
In the fall, I go to school in Boulder. In the winter I live in Breck. I just moved into a house in Rhododendron, Oregon for the summer. So pick one of those 3.
What are your best results in the skiing game?
I won the Aspen Open in 2008, and in 2009 I got 5th at Dew Tour Breck and Nippon Open. I also made Finals in X Games Slope and finished 7th this year, which I was really stoked on.
