HARDLINE QUALIFYING WAS WAY TOO HARD!!

[@HardstyleDubsteppz]

The chin cam is one thing and makes it look pretty gnarly, but seeing the drone footage after and how steep it is is NUTS. Props man.

[@JMTBFLOW]

I was about to post exactly the same thing!!🤣

[@remjan3630]

[@jurassicollie7458]

Did he not use a chest cam?

[@lawrencelimburger9160]

Aye was thinking exactly that! Beasts!!

[@andrewnorris5415]

Yeah go pros POV never show how gnarly and steep it really is!

[@shaunfarley7087]

Matt you must be so stoked, coming from slopestyle to racing Hardline. You can see you put everything you had into that run. Congrats man

[@Xgaming-rc1hz]

First comment and I have the power

[@snowboardingmtbiker]

The drone shots along the top/middle finally give us some perspective of how steep and tech this course actually is. TY

[@CITYSeaBLUES]

fr I knew it was steep but its STEEP haha

[@Chris-mx4jb]

yes starting at 3:56

[@ANTheWhizkid]

Now you imagine to be the pilot whose customer satisfaction gets rated by the screams from the cabin. Best job ever.

[@MarkMatthewsMTB]

So stoked to see you crushing it amongst all the racers! Too good!🔥

[@Johnvdubable]

I'm an old bloke that had his prime (using the term lightly) 30 years ago. Just wanted to say you come over as a top bloke, and it's been a real pleasure to watch your Hardline journey over the last week. I can't even imagine having the balls you and the others riders have got. Good luck in the race.

[@Nobodysrider]

A bloke? Hes no “bloke” A common man does not do what he can do. Don’t try to dumb down his status to make yourself feel better about being in your prime 30 years ago. You’re the bloke

[@Johnvdubable]

@@Nobodysrider it was a compliment. You obviously read it differently to what was intended.

[@aurisnow]

Can't believe how professional/business oriented you are, after all that plugging in your kit at the end. To be on the top these days it takes so many skills beyond being one of the best riders in the world. Much respect.

[@David-cx4wy]

Thought the same, gets 2nd in a qualifying run and is like "Don't forget to order your kit" Legend in the making.

[@unittwophoto]

@@David-cx4wy gets second out of the riders that had already gone. hes not seeded second.

[@David-cx4wy]

@@unittwophoto when did i say he was seeded? 2nd of the riders so far. I know how qualifying works mate! 😄

[@hnnhgaming]

that full run footage was crazy, the constant intensity and constantly on the absolute limit !!

[@NoobRideseMTB]

Looked like flow state wrapped in terror! Well ridden.

[@mcfrossxplorect8249]

I just love seeing matt and jono cheering for each other! Priceless

[@bullywag]

That headcam perspective on your race was sublime! To see/feel your reactions, to be part of the race was exhilarating...just AWESOME!

[@Clownmeati8]

This is the one style of racing where practically every part of the track is designed to cause a crash! 😮 Amazing nerve and skill

[@paulbainbridge6425]

Amazing Matt ! Great qualifying Run, stoked for you

[@14MaddMaxx]

Finally a sunny day to realize what a beautiful location it is. Thank you so much, it feels like I’m there. Absolutely incredible run!

[@DD-ok5vz]

The angle for the last run in this video where you can see more of the bike is sick. Easier to tell when you're pedalling, and seeing the bike jolt around and stuff makes you appreciate it way more. You don't notice all that stuff when all you can see is the front tire. Love it

[@suesheane3671]

So good to see expanding your riding skills .Darkest and now Hardline , you were a champ and should be proud of yourself. Looking forward to all this content from you!!!

[@MikeGlorfindel]

So stoked for you! With no top to bottom run before that was a wicked run. Love how stoked you get and that you are still growing as a mountain biker. 🤘

[@DeluxPlays_]

Seeding run was spot on mate super happy for you bro!

[@daniellissenburgh1584]

Well done Matt that run was sick! 👊

[@Overlycomplicatedswede]

That qualifier run was an excellent showing man! Massive respect for that Love from Sweden

[@trentvlak]

Skilled riding! Hardline is the only dh race I watch. Excellent course; good mix of jumps, berms, drops, and chunk.

[@WildTreksAustralia]

Well done Matt, awesome to watch. Thanks for taking us wirh you on the journey

[@nickwatson1445]

Congratulations Matt for someone who isn’t use to race conditions I must say you are smashing it! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Charliesaysz]

That seeding run footage was AWESOME! Respect Matt, you made the impossible look nearly achievable 👍👍

[@b17blg]

Well done Matt. Quite interesting to hear you talking to yourself on the lower section, shows the determination to get through it and focusing on getting down in one complete run. Mega job!

[@lloydelliott7896]

Best vlog of this course I have watched, the drone showing just how steep it really is, just WOW. I don't know how you guys squeeze those balls the size of coconuts into that awesome riding kits you all have. Cant wait for the final. Cheers from NZ

[@lostwithasmile485]

The camera angle was rad! We really got to appreciate how rough it really is and how flat the bike gets through some of those berms is so sick!

[@masonchandler4269]

I love seeing your progression through the technical areas throughout the line.

[@wgarethjones]

watching that seeding run, all I could think about was 'just get to the bottom'!! absolutely stoked that you made that run clean and safe... Legend!

[@Kmortisk]

That drone footage was sick! Had no idea how steep the top section was based on gopro clips!

[@andrewnorris5415]

Great effort in the final run stringing it all together.

[@pascalsavy1306]

Hellfare kits are looking lit 🔥. Especially Matt’s & Jono’s. Never thought baseball inspired kit would look so cool. I love the way the white accentuates the legs and torso, when riding while being filmed from a distance the white really stands out. Looks sick 🤘🏼

[@NextLevelRiding]

so amazing to watch your progress and to see the growth and the success - I feel the emotions that you have on the bike, you bring this home to me big time. I wish you all the best for the run tomorrow. Thanks for bringing true vibes to the hardline. And also - nice to hear Ben's voice getting involved here! Come on lad - make some noise!

[@Greenfuego]

That drone footage really puts the steepness into perspective!! Wow!

[@lynxg4641]

Nuff Respect Matthew, nuff respect!! That is one serious track and you rode it all without stopping, you've progressed so far since lock down, from a Dirt Jumper/Slope Style rider to a really good all rounder. Now you just need to put a good training plan into effect, build the fitness and strength so you're not struggling as much on that side of things and you'll see massive results.

[@riddioughp]

Yessss mattt!!! Fucjing smashed the top, killed it through the rocks before the road gap and got a nice run with the bottom section, for a guy that isn’t a racer you raced hard! 💪

[@TheCamb0910]

That run was sick MJ, awesome effort - you went top to bottom without taking the foot off the gas! 🙌🏼🙌🏼💪🏼👊🏼

[@crazybeardjones]

That chestie view of the qualifying run was sick! And the drone views of the upper course really show off how steep it is!

[@alpmtb]

Step downs are like borderline buckfests ! Great vid Matt 🙌 Hardline stomped!

[@michaelkelly8955]

The drone shot was an eye opener. Great job all week with your post’s.

[@b08m4rt1n]

Fantastic Matt. Couple of times felt the landings through my headphones, and my legs turned to jelly too. But well done on going through non-stop.

[@mickeyjimhickey]

The POV footage does do justice to how steep this track is. Not even close. Well done Matt. Good luck.

[@alanaction-]

it's crazy how different some of those drops look in the POV shots vs the wider angle shots. They look small on the POV cam and then you see them from a wider angle and they look massive.

[@kendrickcarroll680]

Way to go, riding that top to bottom is something not a lot of people in this world could do. Must be an amazing experience doing something like that with your brother too!

[@reusserfarm1]

Woohoo you did great putting it all together and you made it to the finish line dressed for success 🎉 All the new Kits look amazing and I loved the drone side views of you flying. Wishing you All the Good Luck tomorrow, the live show starts at 6:30am here on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state so my alarm is set. 😊

[@iannorris8891]

For a Slopestyle dude you're doing yourself proud bud, fast becoming an all-around accomplished rider. Best of luck for tomorrow.

[@beaucrocker]

Sick new kit and sick run, Hope Matt keeps doing more events and keeps progressing!

"This is a heater!" Damn right it is, Matt you are turning into a proper freaking DH racer! So impressive!

[@turnervideostv1295]

Ahhh so good. The seeding run made me feel sick! Stoked to see Matt get though it like that ! Love the race gear!

[@scottdonald9065]

That was absolutely legendary mate. Top to bottom and seemed pretty quick too. Wicked 🤙🤙

[@geofftnz]

Those drone shots... You make it look easy on your gopro footage - even has me thinking "yeah I could roll some of that" - Drone shots tell me I'd just flat out die.

[@TweezerShred]

Redbull is such a sick company. Plus redbull yellow is glorious 😂

[@DanielDillon11]

Yes Matt! So stoaked to see you pull together a clean run 🤘

[@dawnkangas2968]

Absolutely awesome Matt that was incredible

[@tristaneasterbrook7253]

That was a sick run!!! Must be stoked with that! Respect brother!! 🫡

[@Glee73]

congrats on putting everything together into that awesome seeding run! EPIC!

[@JMH33SD]

Love the pinstripes!!! Should be a permanent part of the Hellfare brand. The personal touch with the flames on your kit is nice. This is the way... a way to distinguish Hellfare from all other brands. You guys can make different race kits for all the worlds different courses. Race/city connect jerseys... in the US, MLB has city connects jerseys. I think it would work great in the MTB world. Imagine a DarkFest Hellfare connect jersey. It would sell out in days, if not hours.

[@Bigfatdab]

that drone shot really shows how insane that line is!

[@EnigmaEchoMysteries]

Absolutely incredible to watch! So chuffed to see you do the full run dude! Cannot wait for tomorrow

[@wolfculturedec]

That quali run was amazing to watch full thing with no cuts. Had my hands sweating mate. So gnarly

[@jtkyber]

Can't imagine how cool it must be to race such an iconic/exclusive event with your brother

[@jasonharris3873]

That was sick run. Good job getting through the rocky section after the road gap.

[@TedPorter-sc6vd]

From the drone that kit looks sick so stoked! Ps bring back the playground

[@WilkoVFX]

Saw you all today there, honestly mad when it looks big on GoPro and even bigger in person!

[@morris2450]

Was great to see u and the bro give it your best on the big day👍

[@KemBroVids]

Awesome ride Matt, so stoked you cleaned that run, best of luck for tomorrow. 👏

[@Onceayoungidiot]

Well done for the run, Matt! Such a progression since I started watching your channel. Especially after the river gap test… 😳 Love all the Helfare kits, but Grandad’s is just awesome! 😂😂😂

[@Porlzilla]

That top to bottom seeding run was sick! It looked like you were chasing a runaway jack hammer down the hill!!!

[@Itsnovi66]

This is a sport that I have been very interested in since I was little 🎉🎉❤

[@mr.unknown3565]

Stoked to see you racing, Had to celebrate with a full Helfare hardline Kit! Wanted one of each tho!

[@SEKTAMTB]

Dude I was literally on the edge of my seat on the seeding run. That drone footage too 😬 Absolutely stoked for you 🤘

[@joshd2925]

Been waiting all day for this! STOKED.

[@MarkieMTB]

Well done mate ! Proud of ya ! That drone footage was fire as well !

[@gsanchezal]

Great Run Matt!!!Go for the finals 🤟🏻💪🏻

[@benm868]

New hefare kit looking🔥🔥

[@joeltibbits7621]

Crazy to see how steep it is from the drone, but you can’t tell how rough it is until the chest cam on the seeding run. Super impressive

[@michaellaforte6964]

Crushed it. Very impressive riding! Forearms had to be dying by the bottom!

[@tommyherbertson8037]

Congrats Matt, you really rocked this, I´m honestly proud of you =D

[@Bensay]

Amazing run, that raw POV angle was sick!

[@jamesstenner8335]

That shot from the drone with the white slash on the body and the white on the jeans so sick

[@simonjones386]

Thanks mate brilliant footage and fair play you got some balls ace run well done

[@dreadiedude]

That race run with the chest cam was so sick!

[@simirving]

That was awesome! Well done Matt.

[@sealandersoundscapes6403]

Get up lad great qualification run rooting for you and your kid for finals thanks for sharing

[@wm05eb]

Smashed it!!!! Great work, kit looks ace too

[@Woernify]

LoL previous Videos tricked me, I thought:“no problem, I would ride it…“ seeing the drone footage today and especially what is going on with the bike under you at flat out speed… „naahh, thanks mate, i d rather watch…🐥, insane run, congrats Matt!

[@MrEtnie]

Sick run. Stoked for you man. 🤘🏼🤩🤘🏼

[@Chalkee-n5b]

loving the content at the min, all the effort goin in is massive :)

[@Racerman27410]

Great way to put the track together... like water flowing down a hill! cheers!

[@MostAmazingEverything]

Absolutely destroyed that run Matt 🔥 I know from skateparks that when you're doing a line it makes landing tricks easier as you're in the flow of it, I can imagine its the same for this, but with the amount of time it takes to complete this course you must be absolutely dyingggg at the end

[@PeteDonohue]

So awesome mate! Brilliant footage and incredible riding!

[@wonderwatch2239]

Really impressive riding, you showed there👌🤘

[@TheSkyyvod]

Awesome footage Ben! Hell yeah

[@amargnwalkr]

Amazing! From slopestyle to Hardline!

[@davesbikelife]

Absolutely banging run mate. Really enjoyed the video respect 🤟🏽🤟🏽🇬🇧💯

[@jurassicollie7458]

Plane looked fun 😂🤣and the kits are so sick, I especially like Adams one. Keep it up!!

[@QuinnHay-os2fx]

Seeing Matts little wee legs poke up every now and then when he did the body cam / seeding run was just so hilarious to me.

[@maxim54321]

I'd love to 'walk' the course one day to see it for real. Great riding!
