lol dude says no excuses but proceeds to make EVERY excuse he can. Dudes washed, videos are where he needs to stay instead of making nationals, just vlog em and stop making your self look stupid
Tony Garcia who the frick are you dude? Still trying to figure out if you’re just the weakest link or the missing link either way you a bitch and you speak of this man with respect!
Well damn, that was completely an unnecessary comment to make. Who are you great wiseman? Maybe he doesn’t give a f*ck what you think buddy! Dudes out here living his best life. Getting to travel, getting to film, getting to ride, and who is he hurting besides himself anyway? Maybe you should focus more on just watching the videos and not allowing yourself to let any of your thoughts leak out of your brain and into any comment sections.
we came down from Canada on the weekend to watch; we parked by the house on the pro pits side and there was a shortcut through a ditch into the other parking where we walked along the fence and right when we got by the road the gate was open so we strolled through and you were like the 3rd person we saw. I've met plenty of riders I've watched on T.V but I saw you and top chick and felt the presence of greatness. We didn't stop and say hello cause there was a few people but it was a shock seeing you guys. Didn't know you were going to be there. Bummed for your knee but it'll heal if you let it haha
You are an absolute gladiator. I wanna say ‘get back on the bike as fast as you can’ cause i love seeing you up there, but honestly, i’d much rather you take your time and get back healthy. I really admire a guy that can go out on a seemingly random saturday and stand among the 40 baddest riders in the US on that day. If you had to see yourself from the bottom of the mountain like the rest of us, you’d be just as perplexed as the rest of us on how a guy with a pickup and a tent got up there😂. But for real: we’re wishing you a full and speedy recovery, so you can get back up there; no coice.
It’s crazy how much GoPros tame the looks of the track down. Been lucky enough to ride this track 4 times this year. One of them being conditions like this. It’s gnarly
Healing from my acl at washougal really changed my mind on ACL injuries. I thought they were the end of the world. I healed fully in about 6-8 months after surgery. Full ACL , MCL and partial meniscus tear. Heal up dude!
You gave it a good go, still better than me even with a wrecked knee. I broke my friends mom's arm when I cross rutted and the bike went flying. Looks like you and TC had a good time anyway.
The ruts were nasty,I don’t know why they didn’t doze them all not just a few. I thought I would have needed boots but it wasn’t muddy . $65 bucks this year General admission. It was worth every penny.
was lucky enough to race it in the 90s amateur day. they cut the screw-u and some of the back side hills, but what an amazing, brutal, and FAST track...even back then.the true "natural terrain" MX track. just long, fast ups, downs, and off cambers. they've actually added a lot of man-made stuff to it over the years. gravity cavity is the only big jump I can recall from back in the day. typical of unadilla too: no landing. just send it a dozen times to created your own landing area. 😆
lol i grew up 15 miles from there , put 5 gallon can on fender and go to the track , 1977 lol chase cows in on the way back. got some 8mm of some ama races there
I used a bicycle to help my knee back into action. Do the work with the good leg, letting the injured one just go along for the ride. I never needed surgery and with medical errors being the third leading cause of death, I'll take that as a win.
@@mattburkeen820 no matter what the haters say they are usually the ones that never rode a pro motocross national let alone rode the track any other time. Being hurt and doing anything sucks let alone trying to manhandle a bike in the toughest conditions.
This is medical advice. I was accepted into 2 medical schools but didn't have the money to go and I torn my acl and had to have it redone because the Dr, who was the physician for the Olympic team at the time, caused an infection. First, get the swelling down. You can safely take up to 800 MG of ibuprofen 3 times a day. You can test your acl yourself by sitting on a chair with your legs hung over the front. Grab behind your shin and pull forward while holding your thigh with the other hand. You should have minimal movement. Compare to the other knee. You can pop your knee and not tear and acl. I did this when I had my foot got bumped and I ran over it. Yes, I ran over my foot. As far as tearing the acl, you can ride with a torn acl but it takes several weeks before the knee becomes stable and it will never be completely stable. I waited almost a yr to have my acl surgery. I first couple of months after the initial injury, my knee would buckle on a rough track and every time I'm trying to squeeze the bike, so constantly. At a yr post injury it was pretty good, but a doctor talked me into having surgery and then the infection. That infection destroyed my meniscus which left me with bone on bone. I still ride and even run, although doctors said I wouldn't be able to. First step is getting the fluid out then strengthen by riding a bicycle. You probably have a tear in the meniscus and possibly the acl is compromised. Usually the go hand in hand. I hope that you heal up quickly
@@mattburkeen820 Anytime man, definitely help me out with 10 broken ribs and exploded shoulder blade a few years back so it'll help you man for sure!! Love your content bro keep it up!!
Oh that sucks... But they can actually fix those pretty good nowadays. Ask for the "MX-riders extra fortified ligament". I got that, seems to work. extra scar, meh
I was watching you struggle and thinking Damn , what were you going to do if you actually made the race (30+2 times 2 of knee torture) Good luck at Budds
But then again, I see exactly exactly where he’s coming from, injury sucks. Hopefully, he can find his rhythm again, but I really like the videos he makes

Thank you I really appreciate it! I know it’ll be better for budds but I’m sure I’ll need to get it fixed sometime soon
Good timing on ending the commentating and me rooting you on at the top of the wall. 2:36. Glad you gave it a go. Heal up and keep ripping.
Thanks for cheering me on I appreciate it!! Working hard to get the knee better
So good you went through unadilla without really bad damage maybe next national!!!
Just trying to get it better day by day!
Glad to see ya make the trip to NY hope to see you again next year, track was the craziest I’ve seen in the last 8 years.
One of my favorite tracks the last couple years but this year was a little gnarly for my liking hahahah I like to be able to
Move around!!
Can’t wait to see you at budds creek 🤘🏼
I’m excited for it! Should be a little better
It’s crazy how much GoPros tame the looks of the track down. Been lucky enough to ride this track 4 times this year. One of them being conditions like this. It’s gnarly
Right! Never does it justice
Track is way more gnarly than it looks
Like
Even GoPro doesn’t do it justice
Giving us a view of the track , priceless! Shows how easy it was!😂 get well bad boy keep blogging 👍
Thanks for watching!

Oh man that’s wild! Yes we had a blast
Yeah, why I hate ruts. I can't imagine riding those ruts. Eeeeeeewwwwwww
That track was crazy.
One of the gnarliest I’ve ridden!!
Sucks that you were injured. Loved the video. Rest up the knee.
Thank you!
Thanks MattyB for taking us along for the ride. I ran out of talent and money in 1986. It's cool to see these tracks 😎
Thanks for watching! Not easy that’s for sure
You are the man!! Hope you can do better at Budds! Will be rooting for you!
Thank you I really appreciate it!!
hey thanks for not landing on me that first lap haha
Not a prob 😂😂
The ruts were nasty,I don’t know why they didn’t doze them all not just a few. I thought I would have needed boots but it wasn’t muddy . $65 bucks this year General admission. It was worth every penny.
I think it would have been way too fast without all the ruts!
hope you heal up brother. for next race race. sending prayers for your knee
Thank you I appreciate it!!
Wow that jump down the hill into left hand turn is big😮
That would be Screw U. It's so much steeper in person than it is on TV or video.
@@scott473 no not screw u , it’s another jump with a big landing. You can see how big it is when he rolls it at the beginning
1:22
The ruts on the landing were super sketchy!
Be careful man, if your knee is jacked it's not worth it, health over everything.
True

Place is epic that’s for sure!!
Track was gnarly. Hope ur knee gets better
So gnarly, and thank you!
most of us can only dream of trying to qualify in a pro national, keep it up man
never give up
No choice!
Read once that a happy childhood is
a pretty poor preparation for life. Keep your spirits up,you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you I appreciate it! Could be much worse
lol i grew up 15 miles from there , put 5 gallon can on fender and go to the track , 1977 lol chase cows in on the way back. got some 8mm of some ama races there
Legendary!!
Awesome Matt next time Bro!!
No choice!!

I’ve been cycling every day trying to get some movement out of it!
Track snacks giving advice, guess you better listen.
Those ruts are psycho! Half my whole wheel deep 😢😂😮
So insane 😂☠️
Did you use a chest mount or chin mount
chest mount - ama doesn't allow any helmet mounted cameras.
Mounted on my chest protector,
Not allowed to have anything on my helmet
Crazy how much the track dried out from practice one to practice two
Right! I was feeling better in the second one too until I wasn’t

Need you back on the 💨 smoker Matty! Get well soon dude!
I know right! And thank you!!
Oh that sucks... But they can actually fix those pretty good nowadays. Ask for the "MX-riders extra fortified ligament". I got that, seems to work. extra scar, meh
The timing just sucks! Even if I had done it earlier it prob wouldn’t be so tender right now but it’s fresh
Good job man
Thank you, had to try!
I was watching you struggle and thinking Damn , what were you going to do if you actually made the race (30+2 times 2 of knee torture) Good luck at Budds
I knew it was a long shot of all long shots and if I did it was gonna be feet on the pegs motos 😂😭 thank you!
Matty B and Top Chick, best wishes at the next one-heal up kid!

Thank you! It was so gnarly
Brrrraaaappppp lfg matty

I don’t
But then again, I see exactly exactly where he’s coming from, injury sucks. Hopefully, he can find his rhythm again, but I really like the videos he makes
