62. Kyle A. Huffman shares with Linda Leary Taylor that Greg Mathias “told me a line a while back that really stuck with me.” 

“Chew your words.” 

Kyle further explains that he believes that those words represent a lot of who BMX Team USA’s Greg Mathias is. Someone who:

Takes the time to listen and understand before speaking
Is helpful

Linda confirms that Greg is a very soft spoken and funny guy who made a horrible situation… “Honestly, kind of funny.”
