He owns individual and team course records for the annual event. Last year he was out on the course, gunning for a new best time, when things went wrong. He crashed. His buddy Dave Chiu had been following along, taking photos, but Dave wasn&#8217;t there when Matt crashed near the end, giving himself whiplash and gashing his elbow to the tune of 16 stitches, which might also be a course record in its own right.<\/p>\n<p>Now, nearly a year later, we are looking back on the images Dave and Matt released, and, as is usual with Dave&#8217;s photos, they are stunning.<\/p>\n<p>Check them out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/matt_roy\/sets\/72157651880965326\">here<\/a>.
