Matt Chaffin a.k.a Shmatty has officially parted ways with Visual Skateboards and mentioned that he is already excited to share what's in the works.

Visual has been working extremely hard to maintain their creative control and support the skateboarding scene whenever they can. The departure of one of their original pro skateboarders Shamtty is a great loss to the brand as he has been contributing a lot of non-stop promotion and building the business together with the top-notch pros Joey Brezinski, JP Souza, and Matt Miller.

Shmatty took to his official Instagram and said: "My time has come to part ways with Visual. I want to thank Stephen Vanasco for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the visual family. Over the years I have enjoyed being on a team with amazing graphics, trips, and fun projects. I am grateful to Visual for the experience and hope for all the best in the future. I am excited to share what’s in the works. When I can!"
