Mattie Gould

Mattie spends most of his time on two wheels, enjoying the rad selection of trails around his home town of Canberra. Off the bike, he can be found searching for the stoke on his skateboard, surfboard, snowboard, slackline and any other shredding device he can lay his hands on. Mattie loves documenting his adventures with paper and pen, occasionally going digital with laptop and camera. Mattie’s recently launched an online Australian bikepacking journal called Desire Lines CC.
