2024 MXON Matterley Basin Track Walk

[@Wholeshot1]

Great video. First one I've seen this weekend, keep it coming please, watching from Scotland

[@motojunkie1287]

I don’t normally comment and subscribe. This time I feel like I have to say, this was awesome. I ended up bench racing the track with you as you went along. Cool stuff!

[@SoulKiAries]

4:29 Table, is just awesome to watch them fly over, you don't realise how big it actually is unless you see it! The new sections look pretty damn cool as well, be nice to see what difference it makes to lap times from last years GP. The rollers at 6:04 is actually an up hill quad, again awesome to watch them flying up there! Thank you for the track walk dude, lets go Team GB!🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@31Daca]

Thanks for the track walk. More content like this would be great across the weekend. Thanks 👏

[@ianbarber6463]

Great track walk and good to hear a USA patriot talking up the Matterley Basin track. Interesting fact the valley / natural amphitheatre over from this track (Cheesefoot Head) was the famous place where Dwight D Eisenhower delivered his speech before D Day in 1944. True fact.

[@jpslaym0936]

You’ve got a new subscriber. Loved your commentary on this track and bringing the images of just what the dirt looks like. Havent ever seen a track cut that deep and that has to be the skinniest MX track Ive ever seen! Why do they do that?

[@kitfoster2136]

Excellent video, many thanks. Can’t wait to get down there this weekend!!!

[@Ballba365]

Excellent work, thank you.

[@reubenst3]

Been to matterly many times, its not that narrow. And the 'rollers' up the hill are not rollers, thats an uphill quad haha. Track is fantastic for racing guys dont worry

[@MotoPhill]

Looks awesome just on my way there hope the weather holds up see you all there I’m working security for 3 days 😎

[@markcromie3572]

Open bar for spectator?? Lol

is the track as narrow in person as it looks on cam?

[@matthewtoes6433]

Needs the tractor with power arrows & discs to break the big clumps of mud looks like a ploughed field the roost is gonna be insane the bikes will get heavy with that kind of mud adding sand from a quarry might take away some of that moisture it's gonna be a quadmire they should of added topsoil mixed with small wood chipping like the States do

[@oliverdurgen5953]

they need to stop ripping tracks all together. it's ruining motocross all over the globe. It started here in the states and now it's spreading to Europe. rutter cross...

[@danieltalbot7328]

It will be ready tomorrow

[@simpdog1463]

Dude, thanks for the Track Walk,, Track looks like its got some flow,,, Im still wondering what that dude is doing on the Mini Excavator and why is the tilled so deep while there could be a threat of rain...

[@BigMxRadio]

@@simpdog1463 thank you for kind words!

[@morrow568]

@@BigMxRadio looks like they added wood chips bud !!

[@vintagemxer9165]

Why do they have to till the track? I wish it was kept natural with grass like Unadilla USED to be. Rough. Gnarly. Not smooth and prepped with dirt shipped in. Tracks have become too artificial with heavy machinery grooming the tracks which often leads to RUTS.

[@dyliver7806]

Cool track thanks for content 🇦🇺🦘

[@northernfarmsim]

Dylan Wright leading laps would be sick, and not at all surprising 👊🇨🇦 He threw a scrub under me at my local track a month or so ago and it was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Would be epic to see him battle with Tomac and Herlings.

[@northernfarmsim]

@@morrow568 ha yes, I expect he’ll get the most out of that bike and hopefully it’s enough…the track looks like it could be pretty fast(?) though so it won’t be easy.

[@bobmcmurrayindependentamso7943]

They till the track with a excavator. 😯

[@joewahrerMotorcycleMan]

Did you see anywhere where the fans could be on the inside of the track? It looked like they have them completely fenced off from the inside everywhere?? I know it is early so that may change.

[@kYnTso]

Oooof thats one narrow track right there, even supercross tracks in arenas seem wider then this. Looks like it wont rain until sunday night and evening so during the day when the races are they probably wont have to deal with rain but we`ll see what the rain does during the night.

[@deanbeaudoin4324]

Looks so damned narrow compared to tracks in the USA. Why so narrow? You've got the space!

[@louiedangelo3843]

I think the idiots that run MXGP like it like that,.Track regulations cant be wider or bigger than what rules say.

[@gawdszn302]

I Said the same thing

Forecast for Saturday qualifying is good. Teams will be putting in some quick times. But if it rains for Sunday race day things will start to get interesting. It may come down to survival.

[@BlvckHvt]

This would have been the perfect track for Deegan's introduction to non-American tracks. Nothing overly technical. Just a high-speed sender track with terrain he's familiar with. He wouldn't have had any "track time" disadvantages to the MXGP riders - like he would have at a track like Lommel.

[@georgelynch6139]

Being afraid must be a terrible issue for the domestic Lites series winner, 2nd year in a row avoiding the GP guys

[@howardwest2707]

​@georgelynch6139 clearly you don't do your research. He has completed his surgery and more damage was found that needed repairs. Funny how people always trying to talk crap.

[@georgelynch6139]

@@howardwest2707 Is that the excuse that they are sticking too now, all those other ones didn’t fly I guess, maybe next year🤣🤣🇺🇸🤣🤣

[@howardwest2707]

@@georgelynch6139 excuse? He actually had surgery. How is it an excuse? Why are you so butt hurt he isn't competing? Hell you should be happy they are sending second and third picks to race. Deegan is young and will have many many chances to run this event. He doesn't have to prove anything. He doesn't make a living racing MXoN. MXoN is a single event and is nothing more than a "measuring" contest that is only about bragging rights.

[@jorgecarlos4414]

This track is a piece off cake for the Americans , they will win

[@marks-0-0]

Looks like a speedway track, nothing for the pros to think about apart from how wide open to hold it

[@JimG1964]

Looks really narrow and like dirt needs to be broken up a bit?

[@gawdszn302]

So since Jett races in the USA this race is the only 1 where Im a fan..but Let’s go TEAM USA

[@vintagemxer9165]

Australia will probably win. I just hope USA can podium but my confidence in AP and Cooper is not very high though AP should do well on this track. No excuses this year. Get a good start. Stay on 2 wheels and get it done.

[@ronchappel4812]

And that start is weird! I cant remember seeing anything like that dropoff before. I'm undecided on the reducing radius first turn.do they reduce crashes? The rest is narrow,flowing and has tiny jumps. If im honest it doesnt look grand enough for MXON! But i guess that will change when the crowds roll in😃

[@jnracing7730]

In person the jumps are massive, those uphill rollers are a quad for the some of the 250s, and most the 450s. Good track that creates good racing🇬🇧

[@kYnTso]

apparently no rain until sunday night meaning who knows how the track will be on sunday. It obviously aint going to try out much so it probably will end up looking like that with the addition of a lot of deep ruts.

This is a fantastic track walk. It's actually what it says it is; unlike Dunlop's "Track Walk" with Johnny O'Mara. That show sucks because you don't get to see the track and hear what the expert says about the track. It's so bad I unsubscribed. But this is a great treack walk

mxgp changing traditional tracks again , whats with the surface conditions . Is there a home track advantage when they insist on conditions and changes . Should be good though but i dont like changes for mxgp and there control.

Agreed 👍🏻 and last year we all know Who was fastest if he didn't push wide into the fence but put on clinic last race should have went 1-1 n JL1 ain't got slower and think eli Webb n big Tex will go solid too think hunter getting faster as well settling in on his 450 n Webster no slouch for AUS either should be great weekend go AUS💪and USA 🍻 as for Prado agreed he going to get schooled by Jett and Eli got his ass handed to him in SX didn't here Jett talking shit about that! 👍🏻 prob didn't realise he was there!!😆
