Mathew Pryderi Pritchard (born March 30, 1973 in Cardiff, Wales), is a professional skateboarder and one quarter of the Dirty Sanchez crew, who have their own television programme on MTV and also appears on Balls of Steel with Pancho as the Pain Men. Pritchard has often commented on the rivalry between himself and fellow crew member Lee Dainton. The pair often go on tours with their Pritchard vs Dainton live show.
Dirty Sanchez
He is often seen as the founder of Dirty Sanchez, along with Lee Dainton, with whom he filmed the skating bootleg "Pritchard vs Dainton", where the two were in competition against each other at skating, as well as hitting and playing pranks on each other, the basis of the Dirty Sanchez programme. Pritchard is known in the Sanchez team as "Mr. Fifty-Fifty" also he is seen to be a risk taker. He and Lee Dainton went on to appear on MTV programme "Wrecked", which follows the same format as the "Prichard vs Dainton" bootleg, with more extreme pranks and stunts being played. He is also known for sharing his name with a great man who lives in Rossendale, England, who is known by many as the 'Pioneer of Plastic'.

Skateboarding
He began skateboarding at the age of 15. Skateboarding still occupies a large part of his life. He spent some time on Panic Skateboards in the late 1990s before transferring to his current team, Death Skateboards. He had a small skateboarding role in Death Skateboards recent video release, Squadrophenia.
Tattoos
Pritchard has various tattoos. Including "Carnage" across his chest. He has elaborate designs covering most of his torso, and sleeve tattoos on both arms. His most recent one is just above his buttocks saying "Coach Parties Welcome", above this is a tattoo in the same font, reading "Pritchard", another reading "Я Люблю Джонни Ноксвилл" ("I Love Johnny Knoxville" in Russian) on the bottom of his right leg, which he believed was "Sleep When You're Dead" but it became lost in translation - accidentally on purpose - by Dainton during the movie. He also has "I ♥ Dainton" on his penis which was also done during the movie to wind Dainton up, which resulted in a boxing match between the two of them, and a split with an unamused girlfriend, who said that she'd "never sit on that again", and "I'm not putting Dainton in my mouth". Apparently Pritchard might be having it removed for a stunt if they do a next movie. He has recently had a Lion playing a guitar tattoed across his back and a rose on his right ankle. He had a tattoo saying "I Love Lisa" done but 3 days later she dumped him.Even after his most long term girlfriend Lisa left him he has a new girlfriend called Hannah Bond.
Charity
On July 2006 Dainton and Pritchard set a challenge to skate 192 miles from Cardiff to Newquay in aid for Cancer Research Wales. The boys stopped at skate parks and shops for fans and signatures. The boys had forfeits for swearing, drinking and smoking. he ran the cardiff half marathon in 2007 raising £2,000 for cancer research wales. he also ran the cardiff marathon in 2008 after only a few hours sleep from doing a pritchard vs dainton gig in plymouth the night before and raised £500 for cancer research wales. And he rocks out with his cock out
Phobias
Pritchard is very afraid of spiders, possibly all small insects which is memorable Dirty Sanchez the movie with Derek the chicken where he says the chicken "has feelings" where as bugs were ugly. Also when in they were in Phi Phi, in a small run-down hut, he panicked when there was a spider in the 'bathroom'. Dan Joyce tried to refrain Pritchard from leaving the bathroom at this point, then later teased him during the night by telling him that a spider was in their bed. Lee Dainton also teased him when they were in the desert during the movie in implying he would have to eat small creatures, scorpions and spiders. During the movie he killed a small tarantula and ate part of it, which he declared was "crunchy". During the third season of Dirty Sanchez (European Invasion) Lee Dainton also brings 2 pet tarantulas onto their tour bus and teases Matthew with them, to which he also places his passport within the tarantulas' tank. Pritchard also suffers from claustrophobia. He panicked on Job For The Boyos when he had to squeeze through a box as a punishment for turning up late, he replied to the Officer that it was because of 'Heavy Drinking' and instead of apologizing, he announced 'I had a great time last night, Sir."
