Wow, Jimmy DeCotis is a blast from the past... Love hearing that familiar 125 sound. All we had was two strokes back in the day !!! 1978" RM 125 personally. Yeah, I'm old as dirt.

[@mattburkeen820]

Total legend!! Glad he’s back to being himself after dealing with the Lyme disease. And absolutely can’t beat the sounds and smells!!

[@backalleyrailroading2835]

@@mattburkeen820 Oh yeah, the smell off Bel-Ray and Klotz premix… Smells like victory !!! Have a good one, Matt.

the video being 6:13 long as well is chef's kiss

[@mattburkeen820]

I couldn’t believe how well that worked out hahaha

[@franklinherron8316]

Hey @Mattburkeen I’m going to DM you about Budds creek .

[@theflow497]

Foooookin fast on that 2 banger. That last canadian race where he started from dead Last and managed it into top ten.

[@mattburkeen820]

Such an epic race! One of the sickest videos I’ve watched in a long time. Jimmy is a legend!!

@@mattburkeen820 the moment he doubled the big jump. So late on the breaks this guy. Epic shit all the way! And the other guys aren‘t slow!

[@SkooterMcGavin042]

125 videos of Bubba TP & JimmyD are timeless

[@mattburkeen820]

Can’t beat em!

[@earlwilson6153]

When will 250 2 stroke s b in the 250 four stroke class? They will win

[@mattburkeen820]

Prob never at the nationals 😭

[@mattburkeen820]

🤘🏻🤙🏻

[@MXRiderFiftyTwo]

2stroke riders have the biggest fan base

[@mattburkeen820]

Damn right!

[@Blackicetac]

Wow. These AMA rules are bad!

[@mattburkeen820]

Sounds great tho

[@shrimpshow5458]

Star should build you a yz 250 2 stroke just for the hell of it you are bringing more light to the sport and the guys that casual fans don’t know keep ripping Matty B

[@mattburkeen820]

That would be badass but I don’t see it happening 😭 no choice!

[@shrimpshow5458]

Best footage every man keep killing it I’m stuck between going back racing moto cross or buying a late model more money in car racing. But damn I love riding

[@mattburkeen820]

Thank you glad you dig it!!

[@joeybonanno2126]

Matt I would love to see you try a 125 just4fun!!!! Great video

[@mattburkeen820]

Thank you! 125s are super fun but I’m not near as good on one

[@raymondsiewert2720]

His 125 has some " legs" on it ! The video from Canada a few weeks ago proves it ! 😮😊

[@mattburkeen820]

And so does the rider! Jimmy D rips

[@DTM45]

He looks like a teenager! Spry and free spirited on the 125.

[@mattburkeen820]

So fun to watch!!

[@MotoxKJ38]

I don't understand why they do not allow a 250 2 stroke in the "250" class ?

[@jpmorgen5726]

Because they would win. and not blow up!

[@mattburkeen820]

The manufacturers that don’t make two strokes wouldn’t like it 🙄

[@MotoxKJ38]

So it's all about politics then, It's sad that politics come in play with dirt bikes racing on the dirt !!!

[@MXRiderFiftyTwo]

Darryl king (google the name) use to race 1 in the mx2 class. Then thay stopped it. It was good to watch him haul..

[@705squad]

F ... YA ! Sick ! never should have got rid of 2 strokes ! Bad mistake for the industry !

[@mikemeeks8122]

Running the big tank🤘

[@mattburkeen820]

No choice!

[@dylanpope6279]

Now why wouldnt he build a OG CR125 for this 😒

[@mattburkeen820]

Not legal, bike has to be within a few years old

[@dylanpope6279]

@mattburkeen820 all these rules now a days man...

[@mattburkeen820]

Right!

[@EricDavies26]

Was it a 125 or 150?

[@mattburkeen820]

Honestly not sure lol

[@dawsonz514]

Im pretty sure it’s a 125. I think the 150 isn’t allowed. Which doesn’t make sense.

[@Rg452]

Jimmy slays a 125🤘 you can tell he loves ripping da two strokes.

[@mattburkeen820]

He’s always been sick on the 2 strokes! Was stoked he represented the smokers in the motos since I couldn’t 😭

[@carloscasas8331]

"THE RIPPA" what a Badass name🔥🫡

[@mattburkeen820]

Dudes a legend!

[@Huckabuck2]

Looks like he was running an oversized tank. Stock tank just couldn’t handle the amount of beans the Rippa was givin her for 30+2 lol

[@mattburkeen820]

Oh yea he had the big tank probably just to make sure he didn’t run out!

[@motobuddy19]

Smoke 'em if You Got 'em

[@mattburkeen820]

🤘🏻🤙🏻

[@nyhusdieter4086]

He rocks the playground

[@mattburkeen820]

Always!

[@peterfurber6966]

Damn that sounds sweet!!!

[@mattburkeen820]

Can’t beat it!

[@jdub976]

That was the video I was waiting for. Thank you!

[@mattburkeen820]

You’re welcome thanks for watching!!

[@mikebrown41182]

Given how much UP he is on that bike on this particular track he did very well. Nothing sounds better than someone on the pipe!

[@mattburkeen820]

He crushed it! So fun to watch, and oh yea can’t beat the sounds and smells of the smoker

[@tommylee9339]

He was definitely hauling ass! That bike sounded so crispy! Damnit, I need a smoker😂🎉

[@mattburkeen820]

He’s always shredding! And everyone needs a smoker my man!!

[@romainbrb6935]

The track on press day literally looked so perfect to rip on a 2 stroke! For the race day I feel they should just put some more water but that’s it. We don’t need ruts everywhere.

[@mattburkeen820]

Press day looked like all time fun, I was so jealous 😂😭

[@thefridaynetwork]

The Rippa representing the premix posse. Great video as always 🏍️🔥

[@mattburkeen820]

Thank you! Yea Jimmy is a legend always fun to watch

[@franklinherron8316]
