Matt Pritchard is a former pro skateboarder, Dirty Sanchez TV star turned vegan chef and extreme endurance athlete.
Matt started skateboarding at 15 in Cardiff, Wales. Hanging out with mates, skating and pranking each other turned into the skate video Pritchard vs Dainton. Jackass in America came out at the same time which lead to MTV reaching out to the boys to produce a British version and Dirty Sanchez was born. This lead to 3 series, a movie and a number of other TV shows for Lee Dainton and Matt. 15 years of absolute mayhem after that taking the show on the road doing live gigs around the UK.
The years of partying took its toll and Matt had enough and in 2014 he left. With some money saved up he set up Sleep When You’re Dead Tattoo & Barbour shop in Cardiff. He came across the film Cowspiracy and instantly became vegan after watching it. Trained as a chef Matt was looking for vegan recipes and saw a gap in the market for a funny vegan cooking show and created the Dirty Vegan cooking series airing on the BBC.
At the same time he was running and started doing triathlons. Taking it from one extreme to another Matt took on gnarly endurance challenges such as 30 half Ironman events in 30 days and rowed across the Atlantic for 52 days.
Tune in to find out how Matt went from partying to becoming an extreme endurance athlete, the physical and mental determination needed and how he accomplished them on a vegan diet plus loads more!
