Dude, you make the show at Nationals. Only way I can see a National is with a ticket. I'll be cheering you on at every race, and loving that screaming 2-stroke.
I haven’t even watched yet, but I can tell you from experience that you are way better than most people could ever dream of. Keep on going man! You just qualifying and racing is epic! Thanks for all the work and videos.
Thanks for the ride Matty, good to see the onboard again. Hopefully everything will come together at Southwick this weekend and you be back to running the full 30+2s. Good luck brother and just have fun!
Hey brother mad respect for what you’re doing out there I am sure there’s some tough times on the track a little under powered and all. Eating roost from factory 450’s that will definitely make a man out of ya. I do love the fact you’re making it in the show on a 250 2smoke.
Hey Mattyb I’ve been onboard with you for all your races from all the way down under and gotta say keep it going mate your killing it, Im a fellow yz250 rider so understand why you stay onboard the yammy, keep doing what racers do Mattyb, Race….. all the best Dave from oz
Looks like to me that's some good damn riding Matt B you were give them boys hell you and that 2 smoke keep it up bro you can do it just have to get your mind right before the race let's goo
Thanks for the awesome footage, I don't know how you handle all that roost, absolutely taking a beating! Maybe you should try starting up front with Jett, certainly make life a lot easier, lol! Just kidding of course, those 450s are just insane.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed, it’s gnarly especially the first few laps I feel like I can barely even see where I’m going 😂 wish I was able to do that hahahhaa
Are you running MRX-02 or T2? She sounds really lean mid-throttle and if you’re running oxygenated fuel I might recommend fattening up the air screw a bit to keep her from doing that “hot plug” overrev thing that took you out of Moto 2. I had the same problem on my YZ250 a few years back.
YO MATTY B!!!!!! Check the gap clearance at the top of your piston. I found out the hard way that I didn't have enough base gaskets for my cylinder, and it did the exact same thing that yours did when you had to leave the track. 2/3 throttle and pinging like crazy. Just an idea for you!
my dad had a really cool cable oiler system you may try one if you can find one, we had carb cables hang up some times. looking forward to seeing you kick some 4 stroke at the wick.
You’re too hard on yourself! Lol your sight lap is like twice as fast as me going “fast”. 😂 Learning to ride again is tough man! Keep doin what you’re doing dude! You’re in it… on a 2stroke… that’s bad ass in itself.
You’re right I am haha I just wanna ride to my potential and haven’t been doing it! But it’s up to me to make it happen so it’s all in my hands but thank you I appreciate it!!
I saw the beginning of a video of the legends. I actually placed better than Todd Dehoop at the fall classic of 2000. 19th out of 40 on a 1997 CR500 in 250 pro am. 341 before the last guy. Niko Izzy.
Ya I like his content but I have to agree. Those 450s just pull him on the start and he's always gonna be in the back off the start. I don't see him in the top 25 or even top 30 while he's on a stroke. He has to race a 450 if he wants better results. That's when people think it's purely a publicity stunt and gaining followers when you're on the 2 stroke
The 2 smoke has let me down the last 2 rounds but I like it way better than a 450. Had a 450 last fall and didn’t like it at all, I really don’t think I would do any better but we will probably never find out 😂
The twostroke is what makes him special and what he obviously loves. Even if he would switch to a fourstroke he probably would never score points (that's not a shame, i wouldn't either), so why should he quit doing what he loves to ride something that he doesn't like? I think he has set his priorities exactly the way it should be. As long as you're not a high paid pro racer (or want to become one), having fun should always be your top priority.
Hey buddy he’s a privateer trying to do well and be different. A bit of a old school soul which I really like nothing better then being at the races in the 90’s when 40 2 strokes left the gate or went up a steep hill and the smell brings back so many memories of my younger years. Really if we want to complain we should all be mad at the AMA and the promoters for not allowing a 250cc in the 250 class it’s really a joke
I’ve been yanking the jumps and just getting pulled anyways so what am I really missing…practicing starts won’t magically gain me 200cc’s unfortunately 😂😂
