- Red Bull Hardline 2024 has been my downhill racing highlight of my whole career. After finishing a finals run in Tasmania I knew I was capable of completing this insanely difficult track but the new changes have made it harder than ever. Qualifying was awesome but finals didn't work out. Here's my POV of the day and a huge congrats to Ronan Dunne and Bernard Kerr for first and second place, their winning runs are amazing to watch. Also Juanver is a hero for third place! Thanks to the crowd, medics, marshals, TV and media people, catering chefs, uplift drivers, sponsors, John my mechanic, Gemma, my parents and of course Jono for pushing me to ride these huge jumps all week and race! Legends

After watching all week, was gutted to see race run end. You got the canyon gap though!
Did they remove the canyon jump?
Which one cured AIDS, Matt or Johnnie-Oh?
Oh wait these guys actually do NOTHING for humanity
@@DaveWasThereMan bro what’s your beef with matt and jono 💀
@@DaveWasThereMan whats your issue
Best canyon jump. Man you won. I am waiting for hardline jumps.
What an absolute class act Matt! Such a nice guy, apologizing to the crowd for something completely out of your hands. You were killing it on your final run too. Next year legend!!
Honestly! That stood out more than any of the riding from this week
Lol, this guy cheated on his fiance for years with a horsey milf 😂 he's a bit scummy lol
well, I mean he did roll it off with the cutty in that corner
That course was brutal on bikes. The whole race was decided on the top section; the only people who were able to gain any time below that were the top 3. Ronan and Bernard were superhuman.
Literally - after that first split Bernard beat Ronan to the bottom, genuinely decided in the first sector
So hectic to think about how fast Bernard was that lower section and Ronan still booked it in that top bit.
And that crazy cat from Columbia, started it all off with that insane attack on the top section. That’s when it all kicked off!
The Columbian did alright too. Watch his space!
@@user-ot2qg8np8y both Colombians did really well. Juanfer Velez and Sebastian Holguin 🇨🇴👌
Matt definitely was one of the bright stars of this Hardline.... Not there to win but to push his own limits and check off his own goals..... Which is super relatable for most of us everyday riders.... Mattt seems to truly be enjoying this format of riding. Well done depsite the tire issues. but that is racing....
Exactly why I can appreciate all the ladies showing up even though they didn’t race. Everyone is just there to push themselves
@Ivypoison23 Their time is coming... I like their approach of steady, smooth, safe progression... Gone are the days of just send it and hope for the best.
Matt is the only guy who can sound so angry and calm at the same time
This is why I love MTB. True sportsmanship. I’m gutted for you, but the fact you apologised for something out of your control to the fans shows what a gentleman you are. Respect. You’re always a pleasure to watch
Matt I think everyone will agree super super proud of your journey this year so far!
From a slopestyle guy to doing full runs top to bottom at Hardline Events! Mate absolutely epic!
Will continue to follow your journey ever since Covid backyard builds!
Godziek said rampage was nothing compared to this
Looking from POV doesn't do any justice to these tracks. Those downhill paths are absolutely vertical! Must be great being part of the elite crew that is actually able to concur such tracks. Awesome content man!
That drone coverage they had during the stream was crazy. Especially that one rock section next to the cliff.
Was it another tire that ended the final run ? Regardless you should be stoked man . Love your content 🤙🏼. Congrats on the River gap as well 🤯
It’s crazy how fast the racers are. Watching live, Matt clearly was slower and more hesitant than the top guys, but you’d never know it from the GoPro.
Be super proud of your Hardline Matt. You came out completely blind and was one of the first people to ride the new top section in absolutely horrible muddy conditions. And then became one of only two to clear the canyon gap. Even without the finish, I'd say your Hardline was legendary.
I think you can be very proud of what you (and Jono) have done. No one can take the canyon gap test jump away from you! You have been great ambassadors for hardline this year. The race got 69K views and a good chunk of that was down to you.
Godziek said that Rampage was nothing compared to that, that tells exactly how absurdly hard this track is
Rampage has almost no natural rock sections.
Yeah each rider basically gets a whole week to smooth out their line as much as they can. So while the Rampage hill is gnarly as, they can basically turn it into a professional smoothed out line.
Gutted for you Matt. Although your run ended abruptly, your positivity when chatting to the crowd, shines through. Well done.
Loved watching you Matt I was a Marshall gutted you couldn’t do the final run
Watching this makes Ronan’s winning run look so much more impressive! Dude was absolutely FLYING. Huge props to all the riders who can make it down this track!!
Ronan is the new king
I didn't know you before this week, but wow, you were the highlight of all these videos. Kind, funny, determined, and so polite. Good on you!!!
You’re the reason we watch Hardline, Matt!!!!! I watch all of the boys content religiously running up to hardline, and yours is my favorite this years! You really showed how MENTAL the terrain is with all the sharp rocks. Honestly I’m shocked that half the bikes survive a race pace run. CONGRATS man I can’t wait to see you do it again soon!!!!!!!
Win or Lose it takes big balls of steel to go down that course whether it’s practice or race run, you smashed it Matt and watching all the content has been awesome. Thanks for taking us all along for the ride.
such a shame for you and jono yesterday, had a great start too.
Watched the race on sunday. That course was sacrificing bikes left right and center! Realy enjoy following this journey. Its inspirational. Keep up the good work mate and well done.
Great effort dude, was awesome to see your progression through the week (and from previous years) and like everyone so gutted for your race run, next year you got this top to bottom on race day 👍🏼🤘🏼
Thanks! Totall newcomer to Hardline, awe-struck, bet MotoGP and WRC riders/drivers are amazed, love to see video of trail builders. All the best
Gutted for your run but without you competing and posting here I wouldn't have got to see this incredible event - Thank you and keep up the amazing work ❤
Absolute legend as is every other rider that had a go at any of that course. Seeing how hard you found it is far more inspiring and entertaining than watching someone smash it clean in my opinion. That was a great weekend of videos 💪💪
What a show you guys put on! I soaked every second! I just love the Hardline vibes. Thank you so much!
First hardline ive properly followed, and mats videos have been great all week. Tysm for showing us bts of hardline and showing the valuable work of builders and marshels
Matt you are the man. Every time you are so nice and polite with every one. Mi è dispiaciuto un sacco per quello che è successo. Però dai... sei stato tra i primi a provare quel mostro di salto. Top Rider!!
So proud of what you accomplished Matt! Even if your race ended short, you were still able to walk away which is a huge win. Plus hitting the canyon gap is enormous in and of itself! Well done!
Thanks for sharing the hardline experience over the last week. You've made it a lot more fun for everyone. Props man! keep it up
You can hear it in Matt's voice during his run, just how scary doing this really is - keeping your brain from exploding is 90% the battle.
I'm thinking 2.5mm spokes, triple wall carbon rims, sewn on tires w/ bibb-mousse inserts (like the moto-rally guys use) for a 'bomb-proof' Hardine wheelset.......the present technology is just a crapshoot. The only alternative is to ride as fast a Ronan, and hop, skip and jump over the tops of all those jagged granite teeth (which seems an impossibility for most mere mortals!). Still, it's quite the achievement, just walking thru the door. Bonus - you guys actually put a fisherman in the Top-10 wearing the Helfare kit! (best uniforms out there!)
I agree even the top MTB tech used is not enough for this type of run.
I just want you to know that of all the MTB racers you are my favorite. I love your personality and good spirits. We all could have a bit more Matt is all of us. Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration to us all.
You’re an absolute superstar Matt. What a gracious man you are, even in defeat/broken wheels. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Smashed it either way Matt. Well done 🤟🏼
You won the event being one of the first off that canyon gap. Mega weekend Matt and thanks for letting me live my dreams through you ❤️🤝
So much respect for you and your brother bro..... such legends and just good guys.... was epic to be there and watch👍👍👍
followed this all week, gutted for you. Chin up bro', your content is epic. Some of the best on the Tube.
Gutted about the final for you, Jono & TE - but there'll be next year. Loved all the pre race vids, they really helped bring to life the level of difficulty you all faced. Looked horrendous... Legends!
I’ve enjoyed every single video, the POV vids are great Matt 👍👍 well done btw 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Keep riding Matt! You did it great!Downhill is gnarly and amazing! Next year you will have another chance! Love your channel, so fun! Thank you!
Matt, what I think your fans and I like most about you is, that you always give a 100% . And always with a smile 😁. Keep it up 👍
It's always amazing seeing how versatile your skills are Matt. And to ride that track on flat pedals, then be one of the few who ahd the chance to conquer the river gap. Well done!
Loved all these hardline episodes, great to see competitors who all respect each other, keep the content coming Matt you’re an absolute Gentleman
Watched everything you’ve posted on hardline. Great series thanks. You were so nice and cool on your bad luck finale. Cheers mate
As new viewer of hardline and of this channel,i must say this lads journey resonates the most what hardline is,gutted for you matt,great channel,stay hungry,stay awesome!!!
So proud of you for stepping up to these insane challenges, hardline and darkfest, even if the POV footage doesn't do it justice it's clear that you're scared but pushing through and doing it anyway. Great job!
what makes this so special is your humble attitude to everything and everyone..
So many of your fans were in the live stream chat it was amazing. Really enjoyed all your coverage from the event and I'm looking forward to watching you hit the river gap again next year!
We were there Sunday, you didn’t get the result you wanted, could see you were gutted, but you were out with the fans, smile on your face happy to chat! The sport needs more people like you Matt. You’re a stand up lad and you’ll get the result you wanted next year!
New follower of yours and gutted for you and your brother too! You did a great job on and off the bike throughout the whole event. I'll be hanging around for more for sure - keep the great content coming!
I know your tyre came off the rim and it was likely related to that left handed berm you took so fast, but I'd be really interested to hear a deeper detailed analysis of what actually happened, why, how it could be avoided in future, tyre pressures, those cool new rims, etc, etc, if you were up for it.
Matt you represent the sport in such a great way! From a positive and thankful mentality to absolute gnar-thrashing any course. Hate to see it happen to you, but you uphold so many staples of the sport!
Top effort Matt, you and your bro were giving it your all. Was a great event to watch that track n riding was insane.
Matt, you did amazing
Sick effort...
You made my boys' weekend so much fun. Thank you
Was gutted about this - watched your videos through the week, seeing the confidence build, and tuned into the coverage just as you started your run. I hope that you'll be there next year though, hopefully to jump that canyon gap again... That's gonna be mad to have that in an actual competition! Mental. Onwards and upwards fella!
What an absolute Legend you are Matt! Racing Hardline along with the elite AND being one of the few to hit the river gap. Shame about yours and Jonos run, kinda funny that you both had a technical at almost the same spot tho. That part of the track seams like a wheel killer! Well... Which part isn't xD Had a blast watching you and others covering this mad event! You got this next year!
I love this guy..one of the reasons why I got into mountain biking... Been watching his videos even before I bought my first bike.
It was such a shame! I was watching live and looking forward to seeing you go after watching the build up on your channel and couldn’t believe it! Well done on sending it down hardline, I would never dare! 😅
Love watching you push yourself at these downhill events. Keep it going!
Thank you Matt, if not for your recent videos I wouldn't have known about the event or watch the full RB video!
Well done, Matt; that line’s crazy! 🎉
Thank you for just diving in without some 5 minute intro. Amazing video! You have the wind settings on your camera just right, so the wind isn't overpowering, but there just enough of it to tell that you're going fast. Love the riding
Awww mate, gutted for you both. So heart warming to see the crowd try to console you, they were as gutted as you but still right behind you all the way good to see the love for MTB no matter who you be!! ❤🤟🤟.
You had schralp of the day in that berm. It was so sick, gutted the tire came off. Was a great week and your progression over these hardline races has been immense over last year to now.
nice mate! So amazing of you to go speak to the crowd! What a bloke!
Well done Matt! You should be proud of yourself. I really enjoyed watching these
So proud of you man!! At the end of the day.. you did the canyon too.
Big respect, that was bloody gnarly
Subscribed for recent content and you being truthful for that wicked course. Y'all have balls of steel!!! No disrespect to ladies with statement as ya'll keep challenging limits.
Well done Matt… punctures are an absolute pain in the ass….. don’t give up dude. Looking forward to seeing the improvement next year from this year, just as I can see the improvement this year from last year!!!!!!
Everyone there this year absolutely smashed it!!!!!
Looking forward to seeing the ladies getting to do a run on finals day next year
👍🤙🏻👊🏼⚡️
What a weekend, can’t believe I met you, still so surreal , proud of how far you come and how far you made it down, deffo see you again in the future 🤙🤘
What a bloody legend! Absolutely gutted he can't finish, but instead of carrying on, apologises to the crowd and thanks them, bloody legend mate.
Props to you man… your hard graft everyday and still when it comes to it give it everything! Not many people like you about man! Can’t wait to see you killin it next year 🤟🏻🤟🏻
You gave it a propper run mate. Hopefully next year you'll get to compete as well. Its been a blast watcing your adventure. And can't wait to see what more you end up doing now. Considering how difficult this task is.
Tough break but you got on the list! Live the vids and the riding progression. Thanks for ride
I loved every minute of your Hardline experience. Absolute Legend
Well done man, keep up the hard work and we will see you next year ready to rock
Just awesome! You are a true ambassador for the sport.
Fair play to you mate, you still did great and only one of two to manage that canyon gap which absolutely insane with no netting.
The fact you were apologising to your supporters says it all, top bloke. 👍
Dude the bike gods were like He gets to pioneer the scary gap!!! Buuuut flat on race day thanks fer coming out! Good to see you grinning and grateful despite that fuxking flat. Cheers!
Absolutely gutted for you mate, seeing you and Jono together and being so loving and supportive towards each other is so nice to see. Next year buddy, next year.
I so utterly enjoyed your hardline content. It truly showed how difficult this really is. Sure you might not be competitive but man o man you showed so well how tough this really is and how flipping amazing all those riders are. Sir, you can be proud of your self!!!
What a guy. Absolutely love your ambition and drive Matt
maaaaaate! proper gutted for you, heard and felt that "NOOO!" on the live stream 😥
sick week though, you can be proud of so much, legendary entertainment 💞💞
Awesome time there! Such a brutal track though.. Nice effort and class there bro
Well done Matt, shame you couldn’t get a final full run in but you should still be mega proud of how far you’ve come with ridding this kind of stuff, it’s the hardest track in the world and you’re doing full runs 💪🏽
The ambassador for this sport!!! Legend!!!!
Gutted you didn't get to finish but what a week dude, riding with some of the best to do it and the river gap was epic, look fowards to more in the future 👍🚲
impressive reaction, nice mental, gj Matt. Congrats for doing it and for having jumped the canyon gap
what an absolute bloody shame- i was gutted when i saw what happened, and double gutted that jono did essentially the same thing in the same place!! can't wait to watch you push yourself at the next hardline - may the bad luck not follow you into 2025 hardline(s) !! mega that you finessed the road gap this year, and good on ya for how you reacted. of you were going to be disappointed but you were still being a stand up bloke to everyone. big ups to ya matt
You'll always have that canyon gap to remember brother. Been unreal watching you shred all week. Onwards to the next 🤙
You’re such a professional, well done, really humble, great content 👍
One of the good guys for sure. Really sorry it had to end that way but you showed you've got the ability to do it.... Another time hopefully. All the very best.
Matt, you looked so much more comfortable in your practice run than your last Hardline event. You are really crushing this new discipline mate. Sucks to see a tyre put you out of the run!!
When there’s a bouncer at the start of your trail telling you when you can go…. Surely at that point you wonder what you’re doing there?! 😂
You still smashed it Matt, thanks for bringing us along brother 🙏
Casual as you like, "I'm going to hit the road gap, see you down there". Was not your day but boy, lot to be proud of this week! Although after you chat before dropping in was devastated. On to the next one! You (and Jono) entertained us all week, the Helfare boys had the sickest kit (available for order), and you handed your mate his Red Bull helmet.
I was as gutted as you were we all know that you are capable of getting through that course
It was so tough to watch live you did incredible until the tire fell off
Great mind uptake of that unfortunate tire breaking. True the track is extraordinarily rough and good the river gap was not included... It would be great to have it as an extra-day feature one-on-one besides the race...
Cool you went to the public and be happy mate, I dream myself of riding with my bro once like you, but am old...
Courage and see yae soon
Really unfortunate, but you're still a legend Matt!!! Can't wait to see you next year sending it back there! 💪
I was so gutted for Matt and for Jono! I was watching their journey and really excited for their race runs and it just feels so harsh that it ended like that for both of them.
Dude so gutted for you bro. Love your content. You’re awesome.
Great job matt your so lucky to even be there
I have to say that I was very disappointed that you & your brother had problems with your rear tyres but you have the chance to come again & give us all some thrills next season.. best of luck for the rest of the year.
Bad luck Matt. Compared to other times you ve ridden hardline I felt you looked like you have improved your downhill riding skills. 👌New helfare kit looks awesome 😎
