  • Racing Red Bull Hardline Tasmania was the hardest and most challenging task of my MTB career so far. Huge jumps, massive drops and rain on the course made it so much more difficult. The crowd was insane, thanks so much!! POV video. Legends

      But there's something that needs to be mentioned. Matt isn't a professional DH rider, but nearly every other rider there is. You can't put Matt on a pedestal compared to full-time DH riders just because they aren't as well known.

    Hey Matt Jones, you are a true hero and an inspiration to all up and comers that's for sure. To have a crack at Hard Line in itself is a huge achievement, but to arrive late, miss track-walk would've deterred all but the strongest willed. I loved the camaraderie shown by all riders in the way they all helped each other right from day one (the one you missed) especially BK. To be honest, we could all tell that the track scared the crap out of you as you didn't giggle, even once, which is unlike you. Well done and look forward to your next video, Cheers.
