It’s Like RACING in a HAILSTORM! Thunder Valley 450 Moto 1 GoPro POV

[@CaptainNoDoze]

A far as I'm concerned, qualifying for a 450 national makes you a certified bad ass. Cheers ...

[@vikingraiders6703]

This shows how badass and hard motorcross racing is more than any national tv broadcast has ever done

[@mattburkeen820]

Gnarliest sport on earth!

[@Jared45513]

For sure.

[@gekcee3266]

Don't be too hard on yourself. Saturday you were 1 of the top 40 fastest guys in the country. That alone says alot to anyone who understands how hard it is to do what you did. Keep it on 2 Matty!!!

[@mattburkeen820]

Thank you! Not being hard on myself I just know I didn’t prepare myself for this one and plan on changing that for next time!

[@carisi2k11]

Between you, Moranz and Walker. I enjoy watching these lower down battles with the occasional intervention of the fast guys. Another +1 like for you my friend.

Thank you I appreciate it and I’m sure the others do as well!

[@joelatkinson2080]

It just shows how much talent you have being able to qualify for a national with out any prep work. It's great to see you racing and enjoying yourself. Another great video!!!

[@mattburkeen820]

[@robertrishel3685]

Great to see you out there! Bringing us along with you! Loved every minute of it! It’s a view and sense of the track, other riders and the beating someone takes at a national level, that you will NEVER get on the TV broadcast. Bravo to you for qualifying and getting it through! You’re a badass!! One in a hundred million.

[@mattburkeen820]

Thank you I really appreciate it I was stoked to be back out there!

[@Nicko_92]

Awesome ride matty i was cheering you on when i seen 820 Burkeen on live timing... imagine one day when you have grandchildren you'll be able to show them you raced on same track as Jett Lawrence the goat

[@mattiazanetta335]

not also same track, but same category and same race(s)! 😮

Good Ol' Aussie Turd muncher.

[@mattburkeen820]

Yep, old road base and mulch 😂 shit hurts. Not to mention the dirt is exceptionally difficult to get off your bike from there.

It was surprisingly not as bad as I thought!

[@onthethrottle7104]

Anyone that can ride on the same track as the these guys is super bad ass. Matt, great riding man! We are all super pumped you're back in the game. We'll take whatever race you choose. Huge fan!!!

The roost on the opening lap is BRUTAL Matty. Pumped to see out there. Your qualifying time was very respectible I think man .

[@mattburkeen820]

It’s insane! And thank you!!

[@uncleyetti9553]

Yeah don't sweat it Matty! You're still one bad dude on a motorcycle as far as any of us are concerned. Keep doin yo thang playa! I was happy to just see you come out here and qualify(which you must remember most of the world can't even do that)! Awesome video as always! 🤙

[@mattburkeen820]

Thank you I really appreciate that, excited to put in the work to have some fight for next time!

[@rickskey]

Doing work with what we have, great job Matt. You should be proud over the weekend, with the time you had on the bike and barely any gate-drops comming in. You qualified (easy no choice ), rode it for all you had in the motos at altitude. Impressive stuff! Either way you came out from that stronger than you went in to it, very well done!

[@mattburkeen820]

Thank you I appreciate it! Excited to get to work so I have more to offer for next time!

[@bertamusprime618]

Super-pumped on you qualifying for the National! Keep up the great work.

[@mattburkeen820]

Thank you will do my best!!

[@674racing]

If you want to avoid the roost, just start faster! Just kidding, really really enjoy your videos and rooting for you. I was happy to see your name on the scoreboard while watching the race on TV. Keep sending it!

You’re not wrong! 😂 thank you!!

[@ChristianSokol.]

Great ride Matty B! I could tell you were gettin tired at the end but you have these windows of flow that are very clean. ridin the 4stroke kinda like a 2 at times.... I have a heck of a time on em because my brain says rev it out, all the time, top of the gear.. but then im freakin flying and crash. even if its a 4stroke theres some bald eagles in there somewhere lol.

I can’t believe that someone complained about wiping your GoPro. Anyone that follows you should know content is your bread and butter.
