We showcased at the MXGP of Great Britain for the first time this year and the bonus was not only meeting, but styling Matiss Karro from Latvia. Nicknamed “The Arrow”, Matiss is actually sponsored by Just 1 Racing for kit this season but unfortunately his kit didn’t reach him on time, so he went on the hunt for some replacement gear, looking for something a bit different so he’d stand out on the track, and he homed in on 250LONDON! It was our pleasure to style Matiss and he looked flipping awesome! Just 1 are lucky to have him, he’s a top guy, a great rider and is extremely charismatic. A sponsor’s dream in fact!
Anyway, we got loads of images of him racing so it worked out great for us!! All images by Jen, check them out…
He rocked the “Persil White” Stripe kit and we certainly saw him coming…

Jen caught up with Matiss before and after Race 2 and managed to secure a souvenir - his number plate! Gotta get a number plate, it’s the law!
Sadly for Matiss, his final race came to an abrupt end when a mistake (not necessarily his) caused him to bailout out, but he did it like a pro. To quote him “I like jumping and I like flying, but not like this!!” He landed hard but picked himself up and came away in one piece, ready for the next round.
Massive thanks to Matiss for being a great sport, an awesome model and for supporting a unique, design led brand. We wish him all the luck for the rest of the season. Give him a follow on his Instagram here!
