The students absolutely loved Matt's assembly! The students were in awe with his tricks and they could easily relate to him as he shared his message. As one student said," He spread good vibes while doing amazing tricks." My school did a virtual assembly because of COVID and we cannot wait to have... him come to our school and do an assembly in person!read more

Matt's virtual show presented to our 5th grade class was engaging and fun. He was a pleasure to work with and allowed us to personalize the show with our students. His message is positive and not preachy. Very much recommend him!

We had Matt Wilhelm perform a virtual assembly for us this year. We have had Matt perform live in school previously, so we knew he was talented and shared a positive message, but his virtual performance exceeded our expectations. His tricks and personality engaged our students and his message was... on target, encouraging our students to have a growth mindset and to be kind to each other. I encourage you to invite Matt to your school. We will have him back to our school in the future.read more

Matt Wilhelm created an educational, inspiring and exciting virtual assembly for our school. Students loved seeing the talent and tricks performed by Matt. We were able to have our own students and a few staff in the virtual show too. Our school staff loved the messages Matt shared with students... about safety, kindness, bullying awareness and perseverance. Students heard about Matt’s experiences and how he never gave up on his dreams and goals. Thanks Matt for an entertaining and awesome show! Looking forward to having you again next year!read more

With all that has gone on the past year, I wanted to have a pick me up pep rally for my students. We found Matt's information and his message aligned nicely with our core values. Matt was very easy to work with throughout the process. The final assembly was simply amazing. The students and the... teachers loved it and we even have a few students who now want to be BMX riders!read more

We hosted a virtual Matt Wilhelm BMX Assembly and it was awesome! This was our first time bringing a virtual assembly into the school and I'm so glad we picked Matt. We did a Live Zoom so he was able to interact with the students. The way he delivers his messages (bullying, never give up... attitude), truly makes Matt a great role model.read more

Matt recorded a virtual assembly for our school in Feb 21. He and I exchanged several emails throughout the process. He was responsive, courteous, professional, and not pushy. He answered all my questions in a timely manner. He put together a fantastic product, incorporating videos of our... students asking him questions. The video was also unique to our assembly. He didn't use a canned video that he made for all his customers- that part really impressed me. He tricks were captivating and the students AND teachers were mesmerized. It was so great, kids wanted to watch it multiple times (giving parents 45 minutes of quiet each time!). His messaging was also timely and important for kids to hear.Members of our PTA and teachers/principal shared wonderful feedback for his performance and messaging with me. I was thanked a bunch by parents for finding such an exciting assembly. Parents told me their kids loved it and watched it repeatedly; parents also told me they loved the messaging (one parent said, "how special and important his message about finding one’s special thing and just doing it. Very meaningful."The principal told me she received great feedback from the teachers.I would HIGHLY recommend Matt for your next assembly, whether virtual or in-person!read more

I am the Assembly Coordinator for our PTO. With the need for virtual assemblies this year we are so happy to have found Matt's BMX show! Our elementary school is grades K-4 and our students all watched last week! I have heard from many parents saying their child thought it was such a cool video and... really enjoyed it! My son had his older brother watch too! Such a great positive, kindness, and anti-bullying message! I also touched base with our School Administration and they said it had great feedback from the teachers and that it really held the attention of the kids. I watched of course and thought the message was clear and personable. I also think the addition of our schools students gave it such a personal touch in a time where we can't hold assemblies in person. I also liked the addition of Matt's children in the video! Those were such cute segments! My son was laughing so hard during the jumping stuff section! I would highly recommend this program for your school or group!read more

Our students loved Matt Wilhelm’s virtual BMX assembly! Matt customized the show for our kindness week, and it was a wonderful way to kick off the week. Students were thoroughly engaged with the incredible BMX tricks and skills, and all the show had to offer.“My kids are in heaven watching this... amazing assembly!” one of our teachers shared with me during the performance. “Their huge smiles fill my heart!”Additionally, Matt’s thought-provoking messages on kindness, character and perseverance allowed teachers to engage students in meaningful discussion after the show. Beyond this, the show brought a special joy to our students, who have been in remote learning for much of the school year due to COVID. We were so grateful to have the opportunity to bring Matt's positive energy to our students via his virtual assembly.Behind the scenes, Matt was responsive, professional, highly organized, and very kind to work with. He even took the extra time to incorporate pre-recorded questions from select students and our principal, which was a nice, personalized touch. In this season of careful budgeting and remote learning, the virtual format provided a fantastic option to bring a show of this caliber to our students. I give my highest recommendation for Matt Wilhelm’s virtual BMX assembly, with the hopes that you could bring the Matt Wilhelm BMX assembly to your school live!read more

Matt put together an amazing custom program for our school! The virtual program was a perfect way to engage our students during distance learning. The BMX stunts and tricks were highly engaging for the students. Matt's message of perseverance in pursuit of your dreams and education being a key... to future success were well integrated into the presentation. Additionally, Matt gave a personal story about his experience with bullying and how students can be heroes for each other. I give Matt the highest praise for the show and for the affordability of the program for our school!read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about this assembly and this company! Matt was so easy to work with and communicated with us every step of the way in the planning the assembly. He also was very flexible and worked with my district to find a way to do the assembly that worked for us.Due... to COVID, we did the assembly virtually. As any educator knows, it is very difficult to engage kids virtually but Matt succeeded! Our students were engaged and truly enjoyed the performance. In addition, it was clear through the after assembly survey and conversations with their teachers that they understood and took in the positive character messages being conveyed throughout the performance.Thank you again for a wonderful assembly during a difficult time!read more

Matt Wilhem’s virtual BMX stunt show was an exciting addition to Red Ribbon Week at our school and appealed to boys, girls, parents, and faculty! Matt has created a truly unique show with a variety of elements that keep viewers engaged and talking about the show for days. Matt covers a variety of... topics from safety, bullying, nutrition, drugs, persistence, and resilience. All of these positive messages are woven in between segments of Matt performing some truly astounding tricks from multiple camera angles. The glow biking finale had everyone oohing and aahing. Matt was easy to work with and very responsive. I highly recommend Matt’s show for anyone looking to reinforce core values while also providing a gem of entertainment.read more

How can a virtual assembly be as effective as an assembly in person? Matt Wilhelm has it figured out. He knows how to put on a virtual assembly that is engaging and reaches all students. His message is true, fun, and addresses important topics that should be heard by all ages. He has a way to... speak to the youth and talk about important life skills that will better you.

With Covid restrictions, Matt Wilhelm was still able to put together an incredible virtual assembly that supported our school PBIS character traits while making it engaging for students to watch (prek-grade 4 elementary school). Matt made the process in organizing the event seamless and even... embedded video clips of students into the virtual assembly. I would highly recommend this virtual assembly if you are looking for a creative way to reach out to your school community during these difficult times! I am grateful for Matt in providing this type of experience for our students!read more

Due to COVID our school was 100% remote this year and we booked Matt Wilhelm to do a virtual assembly for us. Not knowing too much of what to expect for a virtual show and how the kids would react we were blown away and I would 100% book this show again. All our students were entertained the... entire 45 minutes. He had a mix of stunts, Q&A and positive message about bullying, perseverance, and teaching kindness. The way he explained bullying and practicing safety was amazing - he really relates well to this age group. We thank Matt for sharing his amazing show with our school!read more

Matt came to our school several years ago. We were so impressed that we invited him back. This time, though, the show was done virtually due to COVID restrictions. As with our previous experience, Matt was amazingly professional. He was flexible, a great communicator, and accommodated our every... wish. The assembly was well organized, entertaining, and personalized to address our school's focus. Matt involved our students and presented a meaningful message in a memorable way. He was well versed in all aspects of the technology, and his creative transition videos brought lots of laughs. The virtual assembly was a huge hit! Our students and staff loved it!-- Jackie Michlig, School Counselor, Edgewood School, Greenfield, WIread more

Matt Wilhelm recently did a virtual School Assembly for my children's school district. It was his first virtual assembly, but you would not have known it! It was executed perfectly and kept the laser-focused attention of my 5 and 7 year old, which is not easy to do over a computer screen. His BMX... tricks were too cool for words, but the message of empowerment and resilience is what really moved me as a parent. Matt seamlessly delivered that message through a Q&A series, so it didn't feel like the students were being talked at, but the message was still clear...do your best and put your mind to something and anything is possible! I wish every student could hear his message!read more

We approached Matt during the COVID-19 pandemic to ask if he would consider a year-end district-wide virtual assembly to try to lift students' spirits. He agreed and we brainstormed about shifting the message to resilience and perseverance combined with student Q&A - not to mention a fantastic... stunt show! The virtual event was accessible for all students, parents & educators to view on YouTube and Matt did an AMAZING job and the feedback has been outstanding. We want to thank Matt for adapting to unprecedented circumstances and ending our school year on such an exhilarating and positive note!read more

Matt presented to our 6th-8th grade students. Based on my observations during and conversations with students afterwards it was obvious that they connected well with the message and could articulate the important topics that Matt covered. Obviously Matt's abilities are eye-catching for students,... but his ability to tell a story that MS students can relate to is what made the presentation so worthwhile!read more

Matt was at my sons school today. He did three different shows and it was really cool to watch him change it up for the k-2nd grade, 3rd-5th grade, and middle schoolers. He made the show relatable to all of them which was super cool! He even posed with some of our kiddos afterwards and signed... autographs! I think the tricks are super cool to show the kids but the stories of him being bullied as a child, and the perseverance he needed to get where he is today is just so motivating for the kids! My son loved it!!read more

Matt performed his show at Northview School in Peru, IL! Other than his extreme talents on a bike, he also had great stories that my PreK-4th grade students could relate to. His message of teasing/bullying and standing up for your friends can hit home for so many of our students. He also talked... about never giving up on your dream and trying your hardest. As an elementary school principal, I have seen Matt perform about 3-4 times for our students in the past 15 years. You can't go wrong. Awesome assembly!read more

There has been so much positive feedback about his assembly by both staff and students. Parents have been posting on our Facebook page, that their students are coming home and talking about how great it was.From contacting him to set up this assembly, to setting up everything, to connecting to our... students, it has just been nothing short of amazing. I cannot thank him enough for coming out and providing such a great message to our community of students.I was not sure how much my Kindergartener or 2nd grader would have understood and processed what he was saying, but when they were explaining what he said they actually got it!I would definitely recommend this assembly to every child out there. We had Pre- K to 8th grade students attend and each student got something out of it. This is the BEST assembly that I have seen yet. Don’t miss out on the chance for your students to learn about Matt’s powerful messages!read more

We were honored to welcome Matt Wilhelm to The Avery Coonley School in Downers Grove on January 6, 2020. Matt's school assembly program was our welcome-back event after winter break, and the students needed something special to capture their attention and imagination after two weeks off of school.... Admittedly, Matt had his work cut out for him, but he more than rose to the occasion! The students were treated to an absolutely fantastic performance: Matt engaged them from the first minute to the last, exciting them with his arsenal of amazing BMX tricks, and enthralling them with stories of his background as a bullied kid. The students cheered in delight watching their classmates participate in tricks, and lost their minds when Matt jumped his bike over two of their teachers! His uplifting messages of trying your best, persevering through practice, and being kind and supportive to others resonated with all our students - from 1st through 8th grades! As a father of two kids at ACS and a member of their Home and School Association, I am so happy that we had Matt at our school. We would recommend him to any other elementary or middle school looking for a fantastic enrichment program! Thanks Matt!read more

Through the PTA, I’ve had the pleasure of booking assemblies for our school for the last six years. Matt is by far the most engaging presenter we’ve had. Regardless of whether the students liked or even knew of the BMX sport, they are fully enthralled and engaged from the beginning all the way... through the end of his presentation. He has excellent public speaking skills and high level classroom management. He manages to leave his audience satisfied yet wanting more. What every educator must understand about Matt’s presentation is this is not about the sport of BMX. Matt uses his athleticism and talents in this sport as his primary vehicle to convey an anti bullying message with additional positive messages and life lessons such as “never give up” in a highly engaging manner. It was an absolute pleasure having Matt at our school. Well worth the cost of the assembly!!read more

Matt was just at our school today - the kids and staff loved him! The kids (young fives through 8th grade) were engaged from start to finish. Matt's show provides a great balance of amazing bike tricks and an important message of being kind, being somebody's Batman, working hard, and never... giving up. He is super laid back and easy to work with. Matt is very personable and genuine. It was a pleasure having him as our guest.read more

Matt was professional, engaging and his message was on target. He was easy to work with and reliable. His stunts were impressive and the kids were highly engaged. He delivered his message through a good mix of humor and seriousness and his anti-bullying message was strong. He tailored his message... to meet the age of his audience. He had great "classroom" management skills and had the attention of all students and staff. I would highly recommend Matt's BMX anti-bullying show!read more

Matt’s show is by far the best one we have had!! His skills and tricks are equally amazing as his message. Staff and students all took away so much and I am in awe of what this show did for our kids! His energy is infectious- if you can book Matt and bring him to your school you will not be... disappointed. Thanks Matt for bringing out our inner Batman!

Matt Wilhelm performed at our annual First Day of School Assembly for students, staff, and family members. He was a resounding success with his entertaining and engaging act. I appreciated his powerful message on perseverance, hard work, and being a positive leader at school in the face of... bullying. We had an unforeseen issue with our gym space that required Matt to change locations 30 minutes prior to our show, and he did so in a positive and upbeat manner, even helping direct students to seats in an organized fashion. In my 3 years as an administrator, this was the BEST and most meaningful assembly we have had. Thank you Matt for helping Oregon Elementary School start the school year on a positive note!read more

Matt was fantastic! We did two assemblies for our school: K-2 and 3-5. All of the kids were engaged regardless of age or gender. His tricks were incredible! More importantly though, his message to work hard and be kind are exactly what we all need to hear in today's world!

Our school LOVED this assembly! Matt kept the crowd 100% engaged the entire time. Everyone was enthralled with his stunts and tricks, but they were just as entertained by his story telling with his important messages. He talked about never giving up, always trying your best, kindness, bullying.... All his messages came across. He kept the crowd laughing, learning and wanting more. The kids loved it. Teachers and parents that were there thanked me for finding such an amazing assembly. I have planning assemblies for our school for 5 years. I would say this was the best we've had to date. :)read more

Matt has a great message and show. He has been to our school three times and it never gets old! He has changed his message over the years to a more anti-bullying perspective that fits nicely into our school's efforts to promote kindness.

Matt visited our school for two performances last week. The kids loved the show as he creates a fun atmosphere during the show right from the start with upbeat music, his bike moves, and funny personality. He kept a nice pace to the show with bike stunts and time to share his anti-bullying... message. His message of building others up and knowing the power of your words was shared in a student friendly and interesting way. Matt was professional with every aspect of his visit from arriving early to our school for set-up and being flexible with the spaces we had to work with for the performances. We had two great shows, one outdoor and one inside due to weather. I think I actually liked the indoor show better, but both were fantastic.read more

Matt visited our middle school last week. He was fantastic! I've seen a number of motivational speakers over the years, and he was one of the best. He does some tricks which the kids love, but he does a good job of talking during and explaining them. He has a great message about not only being... kind, but also not being the bystander. Whether or not they truly take it to heart, they said things afterwards like, "I want to be someone's Batman." He also delivers it well. He clearly knows how to talk with young people.read more

Matt engaged our preK-5th grade students with talent, humor, and a strong message. He held their attention with bike tricks. However, our students left with a charge to be up standers or a trusted “hero” to someone else. Matt even stayed after school and signed autographs for 30 minutes. We... recommend him for your next school assembly.read more

Doug Scheer

As a fellow school assembly performer, I've seen hundreds of school speakers and performers over my 30 year career. Matt's presentation is among the top 5 I've ever seen. His ability to connect with kids, sense of humor, and playful approach of demonstrating his finely honed skills make his... anti-bully message sink in. Sadly, the 50 minute performance was over much too soon (but I got to watch it a second time) --everyone wanted more including the teachers and middle school kids. Matt's act is the kind that a school could repeat yearly, and I think many do. The message is genuine and heartfelt. The skills and bike stunts are world-class. Excellent, excellent performance. Bravo!read more

The second was geared to a 4th and 5th grade audience. Both presentations made an impact on students and staff. His message of... anti-bullying mixed with responsibility, compassion, and perseverance was a natural fit for the daily message we share with our students. His presentation was extremely entertaining, but even more importantly left an impact on his audience. It's been a presentation that students and staff alike continue to talk about. I would highly recommend his presentation for your school.read more

Matt’s assembly was awesome! He gave a great message about bullying and standing up for someone as well as showed off his BMX tricks. Matt talked to the students in a way that kept them thinking, laughing, and entertained. The kids (and teachers) thoroughly enjoyed his show and were left with many... things to think about.

My children came home yesterday excited about Matt’s visit. I’m happy to report as a parent that they received valuable lessons from his assembly. They didn’t place great emphasis on his tricks (even though they thought they were super cool), but more so on what Matt shared with them. It was nice... to hear that if you fail to try and try again. They also shared that he was bullied and how Matt was able to overcome this. It was positive for them to see someone that went through something many children do and come out on the better side of things. Two thumbs up!! 👍🏻 👍🏻read more

Mr. Wilhelm is an awesome speaker and performer! He tailored his message to different ages and captivated them from the very beginning. It's so hard to reach older students (6th grade), but he had them completely immersed in his message by the end of his presentation. I was playfully 'attacked'... by several students at the end of the school day because they wanted one of his posters! Our teachers gave me a lot of positive feedback and are excited to use the follow-up activities that he shared. Great job!read more

He was able to tailor each one to fit the age group of the audience. The personal story and positive message were infused throughout the BMX tricks. He was... able to provide a highly engaging assembly to our elementary school. Thank you Matt!read more

Matt's performance skills and message are worth every penny in the school budget!

Not only did Matt entertain our students, he engaged them with his talents all while empowering them... with his message to "be someone's Batman". Matt is a crazy talented BMX biker! We are so fortunate to have had him share his story with us - I can only hope the joy & excitement seen in each and every students' eyes will encourage them all to be kind to others, work hard and never stop believing in themselves.

It's not always the most popular thing to do, but the right thing to do can be life changing and Matt is living proof of that... and couldn't be a better role model for kids.

My fourth grade student writes about what she learned from Matt."Never Ever Give Up! Today I witnessed Matt Wilhelm and his awesome bike tricks! But his bike tricks weren't the only thing I will remember from the assembly. He also told a story about him being bullied in school. He told us to be... like Batman, a hero. It empowered me to not just stand there like a bump on a log when someone is getting bullied. You need to stand up for both yourself and other people. Also, you need to remember that you are unique and you should NEVER EVER GIVE UP! When you know you have a purpose in this huge world, you should practice and embrace what you are good at. That's what I liked about this. Oh, another note, be yourself! And stand out!"Outstanding take-away for all of my students from a person they could relate to and enjoyed his delivery!read more

If you're currently debating whether or not to book Matt Wilhelm for your school, stop thinking and DO IT! His assembly was INCREDIBLE... not just because of his incredible stunts and his ability to relate to our students (grades 3-5), but his message was so powerful! I had to hold back tears... thinking about how some of our students really needed to hear this message and he did it in such an impactful way. After the assembly, I had students telling me they were tearing up because either they could relate, or they knew one of their classmates could relate, to his story. I received a note on my desk the next day, stating "We want to talk with you about our classmate XXX. Our classmates always make fun of him and make him cry. Nobody has ever stood up to the people that make fun of him, but after we heard Matt Wilhelm's story we wanted to make a difference and we want to be his friend." This letter speaks volumes to how amazing his presentation is! We will be bringing him back most definitely. Thank you, Matt!!read more

Matt Wilhelm performed three incredible shows at our school today. Each show had over 270 kids and Matt held their attention from start to finish with his captivating life story, BMX tricks, humor, as well as the several engaging messages embedded in his presentation. His BMX tricks were off the... chain; he was witty and did funny accents that had everyone laughing. Some local firefighters heard about the show, and four of them stopped by school to check it out, and they ended up staying for the entire show! Matt’s anti-bullying message was spot on- “be someone’s Batman; stand up for the underdog and be that person’s hero.” That message struck a chord with many students as well as teachers. Matt challenged the students to be somebody’s superhero; after hearing his story, the students learned that strength, bravery, positivity, and love, are some of the most important super powers out there. We work so hard to teach our kids to always treat others with the respect they deserve, and having Matt there to reinforce this message in a fun, positive way was exactly what our school needed!
