Matt Lindenmuth was a top-ranked professional Vert Skater, as well as a professional Snowboarder. He is most known for being the first action sports athlete in the world to do a double backflip on a vert ramp, often referred to as a 'Double Lindy'. At the 2002 Summer X-Games Matt attempted but failed to pull off the first ever triple backflip on a vert ramp.

Matt was born on March 1, 1981 in Kutztown, Pennsylvania. Matt began inline skating with his family when he was 9 years old. At age 14, he joined the pro tour, and has been traveling and competing around the world since 1994. Matt has competed in ESPN's X Games, NBC's Gravity Games, AST Dew Tour, ASA Pro Tour, LG Word Tour and many other notable international events and competitions. Matt is the first inline athlete in the world to land a “Double Lindy”, a double back flip on the Vert Ramp and the first action sport athlete to attempt triple back flips on the Vert Ramp.

In 2004 Matt also began competing in professional snowboard events including Vans Triple Crown, Vans Cup, Burton Global Open Series, World Superpipe Championships, US Grand Prix, and others, making Matt one of the few athletes to compete in multiple sports in both summer and winter X Games, Dew Tour and Gravity Games.

Since competing in the Action Sports world, Lindenmuth has taken his knowledge and work ethics into a different direction, brewing beer. Matt went on to establish and run Saucony Creek Brewing Company, an award winning craft brewery and Gastropub located, in Kutztown, PA.
