Racing the Unadilla Pro National on a YZ 250 2 Stroke

patreon.com/mattburkeen820
Racing the Unadilla pro motocross national on my yz250 2 stroke! Put it in the show and had a long day of battling the Unadilla course, even finished side by side with Chase Sexton.

[@michaelcaddell8520]

Drives all the way to a pro national, gets barely any sleep, qualifies straight in, races both motos, and drives all the way home. This might be the most impressive thing I have ever seen.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Try working a 9-5 for 30 years. One national is more living than that IMO.

[@Davido50]

He's good. That new Ranger is a smooth drivin truck man. Have a '20 Ranger XLT FX4 w/Fox 2.0 shocks. A great vehicle that doesn't wear you out drivin makes huge difference too. #KTM

Try working 2 jobs for 30 years and putting in up to 100 hours a week…!

[@23nyte]

cant believe they screwed the timing in moto 2, also shoutout the co pilot, mechanic, filmer for all the hardwork she puts in! Especially walking all the way around the track for different angles. Much appreciated.

[@justinjambo6993]

Love the Tsmokin life living it large !!

[@RubbishFPS]

I was there to witness and hear it. Thanks for keeping the 2 smoke alive and out there.

[@KingFriday274]

Also there. The one and only 2 stroke that day. Weather couldnt have been better.

[@DizzyDub]

The finish with Sexton was too good bro hahah Super pumped that you keep making the motos! #820

[@gdot6406]

Mad props and respect to the privateers! 🙌🏼

[@Foxman114]

I was there! Saw you all day Couldn't miss that 2 stroke every time you came around Great work keeping the fun in our sport

[@WaydeStuwe]

A legend in the making! Matty B needs enough support to quit his job and do this full time. 10/10

[@ricericebaby_1660]

I did not know who you are until now. I was cheering for the guy on the 2-stroke at high point this year. Glad youtube recommend you. Great racing!

[@justonhoisington334]

So sweet on the fist pump 🤣 That was awesome!!

[@dennismillus4581]

I was there. Your YZ250 was the Best Sounding bike there. Two Strokes will always be the True Sound of Supercross and Outdoor Motocross.....

[@graysinclair6572]

🤙!!

[@alexbullard2868]

Hey man don't know if you remember me but we used to race together back in the day on the old cobras. Just wanted to tell you I've been following along and its awesome to see you still ripping. Keep it up

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I guess not, but only 2 days. :)

[@dr00andrew]

awesome being able to witness the 2 smoker in action!! was hanging out by the cavity all day

[@jdub976]

Keep it up. Our family looks for your videos before we watch the whole race. Awesome.

[@mattburkeen820]

Thank you!! Stoked you are enjoying it!

[@rickanderson2971]

Best consolation prize for edging out Sexton, getting to mow the yard. Awesome video. thnx for the laughs. you two got a good sense of humor. Lived the six flags bit 😎

[@rogerwrg1]

Thank you Matt !!! You make our sport great.

[@RequisiteSkyPeople]

Haha I love the ending 😂😂 I saw that fist pump while watching and loved it! Your gf is an absolute animal! Thank her please for all the work and doing all this for us. You’re a lucky guy brother. What a keeper! 🙏🏻

[@karlmann4777]

Thanks for tossing it in practice when i asked you

[@blake_brennan]

Great Job staying in it. Stank Dog should be proud of you along with the rest of the 2 Stroke Fans!!!!

[@dyldomane]

Bro you are a fucking champ, thank you for making these vlogs. You are the heart of motocross. Keep it up king 💪🏻

[@vincentbarrios3527]

Hell yeah brother, This is core moto shit right here! I love living vicariously through your videos

[@HermCore]

I was there with my son (his 1st time going to 'Dilla!), & he was SO psyched every time he heard u rip by on that 2 stroke! So did I! I'll be honest, I didn't know who u were, but I do now & u got urself 2 more fans bro!!! Edit: If u haven't been to Unadilla b4, shes right! Camera doesnt show how gnarly Screw You turn really is!! 2nd Edit: Dude, u are a friggin beast!! All the qualifying, 2 30min motos on one of the hardest tracks, then drive all the way home, get couple hrs sleep & then wake up & mow the yard!! Idk if RacerX still does the whole privateer spotlight thing, but u GOTTA be the next one!! Absolute beast! Respect bro!

[@kevwarner2978]

Awesome riding on the smoker. What a track. Big shout out to your co pilot for capturing the day for us. Following you from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@kx250fforlife]

Yamaha needs to sponsor a 2 stroke team and build a factory bike for somebody. Even have you on it and them not take it as serious.

[@travis3709]

Stumbled upon this, and was highly entertained, laughs and memories of how it used to be a lil. Loved the Luhovey shout-out as well. You got skill Matt and the right attitude, all the best to you and crew. Travis

[@stevenlane9272]

Braarrrp braaarrrppp, 2 strokes forever 🤩

[@shanemacintyre3200]

That was great timing glad you got the air time . To cool

[@SSRacing66]

You looked like you were riding with a lot more confidence/comfort. Excellent job in qualifying as usual. I'm interested to see your Budds Creek motos. Good luck, and have fun! #GoMB820

[@crashburn821]

Anybody that rides a 2 stroke is a bad ass in my book! Kudos dude!

[@mattburkeen820]

Thank you! I love the 2 smoke

[@motodad494]

[@JewcyJewceXo]

So glad I was there to witness you ride man, that two stroke sound got me pumped up seeing you fly through those turns. Keep up the hard work & a team will come offering you a spot

[@franzv3172]

You are such a savage to be so competitive on a 250 2 stroke!!

[@mattburkeen820]

Thanks for cheering!!

[@MXRiderFiftyTwo]

Thanks for the up date once again matt. My next bike of choice will be a brand new YZ250 2stroke. Reason being thay are not to aggressive.

[@raymondmellor9135]

Cheered you all the way around track. Got gridlocked in parking lot leaving and you inspired me to lock up my lockers on my rubicon and blasted a path up vertical hill to freedom and the road. Think I got more cheers than sexton and Tomac

[@kc4412]

The sound alone is worth running a 2 stroke. Great job!

[@gregwolfe4950]

Fist pump across the finish with Sexton was awesome! If you planned that, it’s pure genius! If not, what good luck, and quick thinking to throw up a fist pump. You made the broadcast!! I’m really enjoying these post. You two are blessed.

[@agalvanf]

the most important thing is you are in one shape and had a awesome race.... ! !

[@johnfryman4428]

My cousin Jimmy say's you're the Man !

[@EarthSurferUSA]

We should see if we can get some aftermarket companies to sponsor a 2-stroke team. No doubt it would be popular for them, (and much less expensive), even outside of the top 10. Every one of them would look like a hero no mater where they finish, and somebody may finish well. I know the factories can not be interested, but the aftermarket companies would have a great interest. The top 10 guys are on the same second, and you might be able to make more money than the next 30 guys riding 4-strokes. You would help bring 2-strokes back more than you understand. It would be hero stuff, and hero stuff sells. Matt, think big.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

It would be hero stuff, and hero stuff sells, (especially when more people can afford it). Matt, think big.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

"but the aftermarket companies would (might) have a great interest." Call them all.

I’m really hoping to make it back there as well!! Loved it out there and didn’t ride near to my potential so I’m dying for another try!

[@doubledragon5750]

[@m3hsid10]

[@DYEVURSE]

Great recap and nice job putting in all the hard work. Your Ranger doesn't look like it has room for water and a pressure washer. I hope kind people are letting you use theirs weekly. Keep it up!

[@danielthumath6808]

[@maxxresults3974]

You did awesome made national tv with sexton. maybe they will let you get on the podium. the bike sounds great, looking like your skills are there, always could use some training , but we all could. super stoked that you are doing it. awesome.

[@deancarroll7014]

Nice job Matt...long live the 2 strokes!!!!

[@juangallo2561]

Siiiick 😎🍻 Good Luck at Budds 🤙

[@BIG_BODWELL]

kids a legend bringing the half size smoker man hopefully next year they allow the 300s because a 300 smoker blows by 450s allday i just wish they would let ya in with a cr500

[@evo5349]

Ha! It ain't easy but you had fun and a mechanic who was workin it.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

The tracks are too fast for a 2-stroke today, unless you are RC or James. Put a road race engine in a dirt bike, and the tracks get faster. I do admire the heroic 2-stroke effort though, and it is heroic more than we realize. I do build 2-stroke engines for a living, and have a head design to try on my YZ,---if you are interested. It should gain power in the entire curve, and I am thinking a peak of about 2hp. If you want to try it on race gas, it might light a fire under my butt to get it done. :) I have 2 heads here to play with now, and just need to get to it.

[@northjerseyarborcarellc7779]

Watched you every lap you were shredding dude!!

[@joeldepas9928]

TTP with that recovery lets go!!
