Matthew Bayliss, a skilled carpenter by trade, has balanced his career as a professional motocross rider with his successful business. Known as the “fastest chippie in the UK,” Matthew’s journey in motocross began at a young age, driven by a deep love for indoor racing. He first made his mark in the youth classes of the Future West series, winning titles before transitioning to Arenacross, where he has consistently competed at a high level.

Throughout his career, Bayliss has faced the unique challenge of managing both his work and racing commitments. Despite these demands, he has achieved significant success, particularly in the Arenacross UK series, where he has come close to podium finishes. His dedication to the sport, coupled with strong support from sponsors and family, has allowed him to remain competitive in both national and international motocross events.
