    I’ve watched most of your videos and know how damn fast you are. 2 stroke or not, watching Jett ripping past you is just nuts. Has to blow your mind when it happens in person

    Matt, I currently live in Southern California but grew up racing in Minnesota. Millville is one of my favorite tracks. I rode the 88 milleville national on my KX 125. It was 98 degrees with 90% humidity. I thought I was going to pass out during the race. I got lapped twice by Donny Schmit . I was a back marker but it was an experience I will never forget. I wish you the best of luck😊.

    Sand is brutal, especially when you’re feeling rough. Way to try though dude! When I was 15 (1982)I had pneumonia which just lingered all year…I tried to just ride through it and used to go until I got into a coughing fit and puked inside my helmet…no fun.
    Thanks for sharing your experience, warts and all👍. Don’t compare yourself to Jett, the kid is an alien…and he rides for factory Honda on a bike with twice the torque. He shows up to the races with his equipment in a semi truck, tended to by a staff of people. You’re riding a stock 250 two stroke out of your beat pick up truck, against open class factory bikes. You’re an absolute ANIMAL!

    Absolutely RIPPIN them starts, I know racing smokers against them 4 strokes isn't easy, but starts like those definitely make it easier. And sand definitely isn't the easiest to race in, I grew up on sand and sometimes I have issues too. Lookin forward to Millville and definitely the rest of the year. No choice. No ragrets, not even a letter

    The 250 2stroke is alot lighter than the 4strokes, wonder if Jett was on a 2stroke he could go even faster?🤔 cool moto videos,reminds me of my racing a couple decades ago,👍🇺🇸
    Sounds like you had some food poisoning,sucks big time!

    • @romainbrb
      @romainbrb ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No chance, the 450 is so much faster than a 250 2 stroke.
      Jett could probably podium on a 2 stroke though, he is so good

    • @mattburkeen820
      @mattburkeen820  ปีที่แล้ว +1

    6:22 what is this footwork? Knowing you have multiple shifts and keeping the toe under? Honest question, im pretty new to the sport.
    I read something that Eli used this technique in air for some reason?

    • @mattburkeen820
