Wow, awesome!! Just qualifying at an AMA Outdoor National is such an achievement for anyone, let alone on a 250 2-stroke. You've done something that not many people on this planet will ever do. Much respect Bud 🦾
I of course tuned in to watch the High Point Nationals and was looking for your name on the starting gate for moto 1 and lo and behold, there it was! I said “yes, he qualified!” Again, thanks a ton for racing the two stroke and the fans obviously enjoyed it as well. Hold your head high dude because you’re out there racing with some of the world’s best motocross racers. Congrats and build from here and I and many others will be following your progress. 🤙
@@mattburkeen820 cool to see you guys riding 250 2 strokes at nationals and being able to qualify. i think you are about to have some competition next week in the upcoming rounds on the east coast. i believe luke renzland will be at redbud with a tc 250 this weekend and future rounds
Rooting for ya dude! Awesome too see you battling on the two stroke, not only a testament to the bike, how good it really is, but also to the skills you have to even put it into the main event. Not to discredit two strokes, heck i am a two stroke guy, but all the R&D put into the four strokes and yet someone skilled can put the two stroke into the main event albeit the engine rules are in favor of the four strokes. I hope someone see you and decides to help you out through the season. Keep battling and enjoy the upcoming race! two strokes rocks 👊🏼
I definitely have some great people helping me out or i wouldn’t be able to do this! But thank you I love the 2 stroke I don’t plan on changing anytime soon
Great job brother!! Don’t give up man you are out there that’s all that matters! Keep it up looking forward to the rest of the season. Two stroke all the way!!
💯! If one focuses on what they don’t have, that can become reasons for excuses. You coaxed as much as you where physically able with an ailing and athletic taped shoulder with the bare minimum necessities AND STILL QUALIFIED FOR AN AMA NATIONAL! Much respect, applause and kudos for being so humble and inspirational! All 2-Stroke guys are cheering you on. #2strokelife #2strokesyndicate #2strokepower
congratulations sir. what matter most, is your out there. keep believing, keep working, have faith and everything will follow. Good to you youre out there, many aspire to be there too but few are lucky enough, meaning you are the best since you belong the best out there. God bless sir!
So Badass seeing a guy pretty local to the race scene on the big stage and on a 2 stroke none the less keep on keeping on brother will be at budds to cheer ya on !!!!!!
YESSSIRRRR!! saw a few other smokers on the board with ya. Nicholas Hayes practices at Southfork sometimes and ive seen how fast he is.. then to see your fastest lap was 6 second faster then his! omfgg
Nick rips!! His times at high point aren’t indicative of how fast he is, he will figure it out at the upcoming rounds! The national is just so much different it can be tough to adapt quick enough
Don't beat yourself up! You showed up to a pro race in a pickup, on a 2 stoke bike. Adding the shoulder in the mix, that was an impressive ride! Subscribed!
Looked solid. Really looked like some excellent riding. I do believe you are going to really be getting more comfortable and stepping it up going forward. Keep up the smart riding and good luck! Rooting for you!👍🏆
Man you still did great. The 2 smoke is fun, but not on the starts, and its tough with a bad start. All these guys from 20-40 are all about the same speed. And don't forget, that about 40+ guys didn't make it to the first moto!. There were 80+ guys trying to make the motos.
I'm not seeing some huge disadvantage. I always missed making it by a couple positions congrats on the effort. We are cheering you on every week. Believe in it cause you have made it in the show already before. That alone speaks for your riding by itself. Awesome job. Can't wait to see the next one.
Great job man! Rooting for you all the way. I remember I was watching the second moto on tv and I kept hearing a two stroke. So glad to see you out there ripping it on the 2 smoker 🤘🏻🔥
JWalk is my boy, he didn’t mean to! Like I said I think it was my fault for switching lines last second anyways, I’m not used to racing with that many people around me
Wow man you did AWESOME!! So fukn cool to see the 2-smoker out there. I’ve subscribed and will be watching, can’t wait for more. Do you have any sponsors ? All the best from Australia mate, keep up the great work. So cool to see🤙
Thank you so much! I do have quite a few private sponsors helping me out for the year, I definitely couldn’t be doing it without them!! I appreciate you watching 🤙🏻
8:54 but it would have been an extra lap with nobody behind you. The last man on track throwing some whips on a twostroke. That would have been awesome :)
That's awesome that this dude has 12k views so far. Hopefully it keeps piling up and maybe he keeps posting vids with a lot of hits and he gets some sponsor $$ out of it
You hung with the best of them on a monumental track. Those hills are fun but boy are the rough, High Point will put all your skills to the test. Did you qualify for Loretta?
It’s actually not all that mod, I’m running the stock shock even lol. But I have good forks, a pipe, vforce reeds, and a little head and cylinder clean up
@@mattburkeen820 you running southwick ?I own a jet ski repair shop in mass and would throw you some dough or get you something just need you to mention me on you channel and put a sign in your pit
@@denniswilder3014 man I really appreciate that!! I wasn’t planning on hitting southwick just due to budget and wear and tear on the bikes, I think if I signed up now it might be too late
Hey from Melbourne Australia, sick as mate the fans want the 2strokes back sounded awesome when they cheered. The 250 is a little down on power than the 450s but who gives a shit. Lets see what happens when KTM releases the 300SX. You guys need to have it like we have it in Australia, we can race the 250 2strokes at the national level against the 250 4strokes. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
While l own and love my new 4 stroke.... They sound like one long wet fart honestly.... 😆 Bring back the 2 strokes.. I'm talking to you Honda, Suzuki & Kawasaki..

Would definitely be cool! It’s tough going against all 450s but I have a lot of fun with it
Great work...hang in there!
Thank you!! Ready to start getting better

Was awesome to see the 2 stroke rippin. Made the race not sound like total dookie 😆
Jeff Walker saw the two stroke and went for the kill haha. Knew you'd generate more hype with the two stroke
Haha nah man it’s just racing! Lines come together all the time out there
That's awesome that this dude has 12k views so far. Hopefully it keeps piling up and maybe he keeps posting vids with a lot of hits and he gets some sponsor $$ out of it
Would definitely be cool if it worked out like that! But for now I’m just having fun sharing my experience
Thanks Matt for the video Super cool brother!!!!!! REDDDDBUDDDD WOOHOO good luck hit the leap#WFO2STROKE Have a Blast woohoo
Out powered, but it's great to see!!!
You hung with the best of them on a monumental track. Those hills are fun but boy are the rough, High Point will put all your skills to the test. Did you qualify for Loretta?
Curious on maintaining the bike, racing one bike? How many hours Top end etc . I’ve been sad crank went out at 6hrs (bad parts)
cool vid, good on ya missus for filmin. good job
Thank you! She kills it
I think that was Jeff walker you got together with
do you have plans to go to unadilla i hope so because i will cheer you on every lap if ya do
Awesome!!!
The AMA needs to change the rules for 4sucks maximum cc should be 350cc same for 2strokes,maximum cc for 250 class should be 200cc vs 125cc 2strokes.
Good to see.. 👍👍👍
Good job buddy how mod is that thing besides suspension.
It’s actually not all that mod, I’m running the stock shock even lol. But I have good forks, a pipe, vforce reeds, and a little head and cylinder clean up

Ama needs to make the 250 a open class
