- Shop the limited edition Hardling edition kit right now at www.helfare.com/ Red Bull Hardline is one of the biggest challenges of my career, it's riding bikes at the absolute limit of what's possible on a downhill MTB. Qualifying has just finished and I found it way too hard and so insanely gnarly to link this course together without stopping or crashing! Enjoy the video and the story of Red Bull Hardline 2024! Legends
The chin cam is one thing and makes it look pretty gnarly, but seeing the drone footage after and how steep it is is NUTS. Props man.
I was about to post exactly the same thing!!🤣
N
Did he not use a chest cam?
Aye was thinking exactly that! Beasts!!
Yeah go pros POV never show how gnarly and steep it really is!
Matt you must be so stoked, coming from slopestyle to racing Hardline. You can see you put everything you had into that run. Congrats man
First comment and I have the power
The drone shots along the top/middle finally give us some perspective of how steep and tech this course actually is. TY
fr I knew it was steep but its STEEP haha
yes starting at 3:56
I'm an old bloke that had his prime (using the term lightly) 30 years ago. Just wanted to say you come over as a top bloke, and it's been a real pleasure to watch your Hardline journey over the last week. I can't even imagine having the balls you and the others riders have got. Good luck in the race.
A bloke? Hes no “bloke” A common man does not do what he can do. Don’t try to dumb down his status to make yourself feel better about being in your prime 30 years ago. You’re the bloke
@@Nobodysrider it was a compliment. You obviously read it differently to what was intended.
@bikerboyofficials you don't get it do you
Now you imagine to be the pilot whose customer satisfaction gets rated by the screams from the cabin. Best job ever.
So stoked to see you crushing it amongst all the racers! Too good!🔥
Can't believe how professional/business oriented you are, after all that plugging in your kit at the end. To be on the top these days it takes so many skills beyond being one of the best riders in the world. Much respect.
Thought the same, gets 2nd in a qualifying run and is like "Don't forget to order your kit" Legend in the making.
@@David-cx4wy gets second out of the riders that had already gone. hes not seeded second.
@@unittwophoto when did i say he was seeded? 2nd of the riders so far. I know how qualifying works mate! 😄
Them on the plane is the funniest thing ever, suddenly they just turn into a bunch of kids just joking around on the plane and tumbling everywhere🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pilots are like 🤦

That headcam perspective on your race was sublime! To see/feel your reactions, to be part of the race was exhilarating...just AWESOME!
Looked like flow state wrapped in terror!
Well ridden.
that full run footage was crazy, the constant intensity and constantly on the absolute limit !!
So good to see expanding your riding skills .Darkest and now Hardline , you were a champ and should be proud of yourself. Looking forward to all this content from you!!!
This is the one style of racing where practically every part of the track is designed to cause a crash! 😮 Amazing nerve and skill
I just love seeing matt and jono cheering for each other! Priceless
Seeding run was spot on mate super happy for you bro!
Best vlog of this course I have watched, the drone showing just how steep it really is, just WOW. I don't know how you guys squeeze those balls the size of coconuts into that awesome riding kits you all have. Cant wait for the final. Cheers from NZ
Finally a sunny day to realize what a beautiful location it is. Thank you so much, it feels like I’m there. Absolutely incredible run!
watching that seeding run, all I could think about was 'just get to the bottom'!! absolutely stoked that you made that run clean and safe... Legend!
Amazing Matt !
Great qualifying Run, stoked for you
So stoked for you! With no top to bottom run before that was a wicked run. Love how stoked you get and that you are still growing as a mountain biker. 🤘
That qualifier run was an excellent showing man! Massive respect for that
Love from Sweden
The angle for the last run in this video where you can see more of the bike is sick. Easier to tell when you're pedalling, and seeing the bike jolt around and stuff makes you appreciate it way more. You don't notice all that stuff when all you can see is the front tire. Love it
Nuff Respect Matthew, nuff respect!! That is one serious track and you rode it all without stopping, you've progressed so far since lock down, from a Dirt Jumper/Slope Style rider to a really good all rounder. Now you just need to put a good training plan into effect, build the fitness and strength so you're not struggling as much on that side of things and you'll see massive results.
Skilled riding! Hardline is the only dh race I watch. Excellent course; good mix of jumps, berms, drops, and chunk.
what an honor to be there and do that .....R.I.P. Mr. Didi Mateschitz !
Well done Matt, awesome to watch. Thanks for taking us wirh you on the journey
Hellfare kits are looking lit 🔥. Especially Matt’s & Jono’s. Never thought baseball inspired kit would look so cool. I love the way the white accentuates the legs and torso, when riding while being filmed from a distance the white really stands out. Looks sick 🤘🏼
The POV footage does do justice to how steep this track is. Not even close.
Well done Matt. Good luck.
Fantastic Matt. Couple of times felt the landings through my headphones, and my legs turned to jelly too. But well done on going through non-stop.
Yessss mattt!!! Fucjing smashed the top, killed it through the rocks before the road gap and got a nice run with the bottom section, for a guy that isn’t a racer you raced hard! 💪
Absolutely incredible to watch! So chuffed to see you do the full run dude! Cannot wait for tomorrow
For a Slopestyle dude you're doing yourself proud bud, fast becoming an all-around accomplished rider.
Best of luck for tomorrow.
The camera angle was rad! We really got to appreciate how rough it really is and how flat the bike gets through some of those berms is so sick!
so amazing to watch your progress and to see the growth and the success - I feel the emotions that you have on the bike, you bring this home to me big time. I wish you all the best for the run tomorrow. Thanks for bringing true vibes to the hardline. And also - nice to hear Ben's voice getting involved here! Come on lad - make some noise!
Congratulations Matt for someone who isn’t use to race conditions I must say you are smashing it! 🎉🎉🎉
Well done Matt. Quite interesting to hear you talking to yourself on the lower section, shows the determination to get through it and focusing on getting down in one complete run. Mega job!
Woohoo you did great putting it all together and you made it to the finish line dressed for success 🎉 All the new Kits look amazing and I loved the drone side views of you flying. Wishing you All the Good Luck tomorrow, the live show starts at 6:30am here on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state so my alarm is set. 😊
Yes Matt! So stoaked to see you pull together a clean run 🤘
Well done Matt that run was sick! 👊
That run was sick MJ, awesome effort - you went top to bottom without taking the foot off the gas! 🙌🏼🙌🏼💪🏼👊🏼
LoL previous Videos tricked me, I thought:“no problem, I would ride it…“ seeing the drone footage today and especially what is going on with the bike under you at flat out speed… „naahh, thanks mate, i d rather watch…🐥, insane run, congrats Matt!
Well done mate ! Proud of ya ! That drone footage was fire as well !
That seeding run footage was AWESOME! Respect Matt, you made the impossible look nearly achievable 👍👍
Step downs are like borderline buckfests ! Great vid Matt 🙌 Hardline stomped!
Sick new kit and sick run, Hope Matt keeps doing more events and keeps progressing!
That was a sick run!!! Must be stoked with that! Respect brother!! 🫡
That chestie view of the qualifying run was sick! And the drone views of the upper course really show off how steep it is!
Those drone shots... You make it look easy on your gopro footage - even has me thinking "yeah I could roll some of that" - Drone shots tell me I'd just flat out die.
I love seeing your progression through the technical areas throughout the line.
Way to go, riding that top to bottom is something not a lot of people in this world could do. Must be an amazing experience doing something like that with your brother too!
Congrats Matt, you really rocked this, I´m honestly proud of you =D
Great effort in the final run stringing it all together.
That quali run was amazing to watch full thing with no cuts. Had my hands sweating mate. So gnarly
That drone footage really puts the steepness into perspective!! Wow!
Was great to see u and the bro give it your best on the big day👍
Ahhh so good. The seeding run made me feel sick! Stoked to see Matt get though it like that !
Love the race gear!
congrats on putting everything together into that awesome seeding run! EPIC!
Well done for the run, Matt! Such a progression since I started watching your channel. Especially after the river gap test… 😳 Love all the Helfare kits, but Grandad’s is just awesome! 😂😂😂
Love the pinstripes!!! Should be a permanent part of the Hellfare brand. The personal touch with the flames on your kit is nice. This is the way... a way to distinguish Hellfare from all other brands. You guys can make different race kits for all the worlds different courses. Race/city connect jerseys... in the US, MLB has city connects jerseys. I think it would work great in the MTB world. Imagine a DarkFest Hellfare connect jersey. It would sell out in days, if not hours.
it's crazy how different some of those drops look in the POV shots vs the wider angle shots. They look small on the POV cam and then you see them from a wider angle and they look massive.
Stoked to see you racing, Had to celebrate with a full Helfare hardline Kit! Wanted one of each tho!
Great Run Matt!!!Go for the finals 🤟🏻💪🏻
That was awesome! Well done Matt.
Sick run. Stoked for you man. 🤘🏼🤩🤘🏼
Awesome footage Ben! Hell yeah
Dude I was literally on the edge of my seat on the seeding run. That drone footage too 😬 Absolutely stoked for you 🤘
Can't imagine how cool it must be to race such an iconic/exclusive event with your brother
Saw you all today there, honestly mad when it looks big on GoPro and even bigger in person!
"This is a heater!" Damn right it is, Matt you are turning into a proper freaking DH racer! So impressive!
The drone shot was an eye opener. Great job all week with your post’s.
That was absolutely legendary mate. Top to bottom and seemed pretty quick too. Wicked 🤙🤙
Crushed it. Very impressive riding! Forearms had to be dying by the bottom!
Crazy to see how steep it is from the drone, but you can’t tell how rough it is until the chest cam on the seeding run. Super impressive
Awesome ride Matt, so stoked you cleaned that run, best of luck for tomorrow. 👏
That was sick run. Good job getting through the rocky section after the road gap.
Redbull is such a sick company. Plus redbull yellow is glorious 😂
Nice view of the handles bars on the seeding run… great run!
Amazing run, that raw POV angle was sick!
That top to bottom seeding run was sick! It looked like you were chasing a runaway jack hammer down the hill!!!
As.i was watching this, I hear a rumble, I look out my window and see the flying bulls plane you were on fly past my window, the timing was incredible
Absolutely awesome Matt that was incredible
What an absolute heater of a run boi, lets f#cking go!
Hey Bro Thats a Private Prop LOL Classic, Glad too see Ya Living the Dream Deserve it
Doing the Mach Loop in that. 👌
Superb drone footage (& sound fx 😊).

The whole kit is sick actually, well done Ben
i like the helfare kit the fire on the sleeves look awesome .. also thank for telling use what the whistling is all about i always wondered ..
Great run bro! Good luck ❤
That race run with the chest cam was so sick!
That section around the 6:50 mark looked impossible to ride when you walked it, now watching you plow through it making it look like nothing is insane!!
bro today was crazy at hardline finals gutted about your tire breaking though. welldone.
Stoked you got through seeding Matt, well done! 🤘❤️🌈🕊️🌍
That drone footage was sick! Had no idea how steep the top section was based on gopro clips!
