Well if this isn't proof that the 2 stroke displacement rule is complete BS, I don't know what is. You've got a full factory Star YZ250F worth likely over $30k with a guy that rides and trains 7 days a week against a near stock YZ250 with a privateer who's doing his own maintenance work between motos and taking a pickup truck to Pro Nationals instead of operating out of a factory semi. And the privateer is neck and neck with him, plus consistently puts a 250 2T into the main against factory 450's. As always, well done Matt. You're the people's champ!

Camera guy had me rolling… “fuck yeah… he’s gona suck a valve… let’s go!!!” 😂 folks like that keep morale high & the good vibes goin! Awesome ridin!

When your alot older, you'll reminisce about all your years racing and all the road trips you did to get too these fucked up locations. Thanks once again Matty for an update on your racing. All the way from... Fucked up New Zealand

Qualifying 27th in that field and holding off Haiden is fantastic. Congrats man!

Matttt that’s fucken badass to see u battling w deegan and ben!!!! On that 2 stroke keep on rippin big dawg !!!!!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Haven't been to budds in 6 years started watching these vids earlier in the season and I knew I had to drive down there from jersey to cheer this dude on and he did not disappoint. Wore out my airhorns on sat in the off camber every lap he came by. I came by after and found him he's the coolest cat in the (or out) of the paddock for sure. GET SOME at iron man!

Bro your ol lady’s dad made my day 😂 guys a legend you’re lucky as hell to have people like this in your life no doubt.

Don’t go to another race without Greg. Hell of a combo you two make.👍

The TV dont show how big the jumps are compared to your footage..that downhill triple jeez! The first corner of moto 1 was awesome ..everyone steeming in and you just picked up 8 places or so on the inside.

This was buy far the best motocross video I've seen. Hard working amateur, no frills accept the race Tacoma 🤣and what impressed me most was no complaining... I mean a national and 6 motos the next day in rain? Bravo, Matt you truly are an inspiration.

Amazing riding Matt and best vlog yet! "HES GONNA SUCK A VALVE!!!"

Honestly your girls dad would behave exactly like any of us would if we were given that access he’s hilarious! Well done again man. I liked seeing ads on your videos I don’t recall seeing them before so hopefully that’s some extra revenue stream coming your way. You deserve all the success and fandom coming your way. Much respect brother

Your Camera guy (F-I-L ??) was a freaking LEGEND! He was going off his head supporting you. One of the best moto vids I watched this year. Keep grippin it and rippin Matt. We are all behind you and the mighty smoker!!!

It cracks me up when kids like Deegan have all the money and resources and get a factory ride, and you're on a 250 two stroke at the sake pace as him. Would love to see you on that factory team with a factory bike and all that!

The only thing better than Gregs enthusiasm would be some old school 90s mid air pointing 👉🏼keep it flowing dude love the smoker vids watching from Manchester England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Best video man. Did not know you were that fast. You basically almost smoked Deegan against a factory machine. Give as more, you can do it! Cheers here from South Africa.

Somebody give this man a factory bike! 🔥

Saw ya at Unadilla N.Y I was smiling so much was so happy 😊 seeing a 2 stroke keep up the good work my man 820

Terry from Christchurch New Zealand love ua work young man, ripping the 2smoke. Blues4boys.

You aint gonna podium on peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches DUDE! :D

Dude.. Hell yea bro!! I was literally laughing out loud smiling ear to ear watching you ripppin it in front of deegan man! Don’t get too bummed out about the Pro race brotha.. that’s a tough track and that class was STACKED!

Way to go my man. That's no joke running wide open with that many riders on the track at once. Got a little taste of it at the local level so I understand what you are saying about the flow. You will get comfortable with it and start winning man just stick with it!!

you're badass man, that uphill triple looks insane. always looking for you during the motos

I am beyond impressed, The best video of the year so far... from anyone, kept 38 on his toes, a mighty, mighty effort. jb.

haven't been following moto too close but I took the family to budds for the national and seeing a two stroke out there we were all flipping out and cheering for you more than anyone else. Now you're my fav rider!! keep on being awesome and be safe out there cuz you're fast as fukk!!! really are the people's champ.

The seat belt bass made me laugh out loud 😂

Absolutely love what you are doing. Two strokes rule and the nationals just aren't the same since the switch to four strokes. Thank you for sharing your journey. Look forward to each week to see how you do. Qualifying for a national is no easy task, let alone doing so on a two stroke. If you do this again next year you should set something up so us followers can donate to help with your travel expenses. God knows the true privateers get no help from the ama/mx sports. Keep rocking it!

Get this guy some help for the 2023 nats !!!!! Love these videos !!!! As real as it gets !

Who is that guy on the smoker out jumping the 9 time World Champ on the triple step up ? 🤪 Love the vids... Keep twisting it !

99% of the people who ride couldn't even make a national, not to mention on a friggin 2 stroke. Great job💪❤️👍

Expense report... How much more did you make on Sunday versus Saturday? "Dicing" with the World Champ legend is priceless. Prolly need to jar up that dirt from the chest pro from Deegan's rear wheel to sell it to the KZfaq mafia.

That was awesome! I was wooo'in all the way with that hype guy! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

I was laughing out loud as well grinning ear to ear that was fun. The commentary was awesome.

You beat J-Walk.

Legend. Making moto great again 🤙

Hey man, 👍👍 to you. You are definitely living the dream. When you and deegan went over the triple side by side, and you looked at him. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

everyone needs a friend like you have on the camera

That step down is insane!!!!

Plus gave me that Deegan footage I’ve been waiting for early 👍🏻

Greg’s commentary for the win…

I am always very impressed with your riding, great to see you clear the big obstacles on the 250! Don't let your results get you done, you are there doing it with true professionals, and as I learned back in my serious racing days, that is a whole level above being a seriously good and fast rider. Enjoy it, remember it, keep a diary, and be safe!!

Dude...u are a friggin BEAST!!! I've only been a fan of urs since dilla & watching u in front of Deegan had me cheering out loud!! Keep rippin! Ir Killin it & we ALL lobe hearing that 2 stroke shred!!

Focus your mind to see yourself racing the pro as you did chasing down deegan. your riding is very good. you are finishing in the top 30 in the world on the us tracks. very good young man.

Dude, I don't know who you are, but I'm going to be following you now. This just made me so stoked to watch. Love your vibe, your crack me up! I've ridden since I was about 8 years old, and it's all about having fun. You bring that vibe, while still racing. This is what it's about!

Greg is the greatest human, nobody loves the sport like he does

Awesome! I would be interested to see your lap times Sunday compared to Saturday. It looked like you were riding with much more confidence and aggression Sunday. Great job!

Matti I enjoyed watching this video very much, to the point I watch it again and again lol, we were there Friday Saturday and Sunday, great times, much respect to you, hope to see you at Budds next year, Happy New Years you all.

Flying mate Star Yamaha eating that 2 stroke roost 🤙

That top view of the step down was great! It's a long way down to the landing.

Sickkkk yo you killed it out there . No factory bike and still smashing it .. Deegan should be sweating u

Dude, huge new fan! NC guy here, friends w/ the Bennicks, and a 2-stroker til I die… But I’ve jumped on your bus pal. Look forward to rooting for you from here on out! Also, your videos are 🔥. Between that, and your obvious talent on that bike, help is coming your way! Someone pick this kid up and pay him!! 🤜🤘

Dude, that was sick. That Deegan kid better step up his game if he plans to run with the big boys. Barely beats a kid on a smoker, doing his own filters, on used off the shelf tires, while eating white bread sammiches, from the back of a pickup, under an EZ up 🤣 Good job man! 👌
