I expect wrong answers only, because im sure its common knowledge. But he seems to be constantly filming pro's and amatuers with funny takes.  

What does he do?

Former pro privateer that raced a 2 stroke out of the back of a worn out pickup against the 450s and documented the struggle on social media.  Kept getting banged up and realized making content was easier on the body and paid as good or maybe better.  Announced at one of the Arenacross series this year for TV.

He was a privateer/national pro. Got hurt a few times , seems like he’s given up the risk of racing himself and has took to traveling and filming. Seems like a super funny guy with a ton of energy for moto.


I saw him at budds and he was literally jogging from turn to turn to film track side.


Seems like a rad dude 🤷‍♂️ one of “us” actual moto dude

Matt Burkeen is a South African-born entrepreneur and business magnate who leads SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI. Widely known for his disruptive approach to industry, he has become one of the most prominent—and polarizing—figures in global technology and space exploration, who in his spare time runs a low quality youtube channel about an obscure off road motorsport.

I could be wrong, but I think his dad is Mike Burkeen, Deputy Director of AMA Racing.

Matty B is good folk! Dig his content and humor—I have added “that’s an ACL…” to my race-watching vocabulary.

He's the guy that ended Kevin Sherman's career and a few years later successfully tracked down J-Law's stolen bike.  

In the future he'll be the TV announcer for supercross (after Weege retires).

Some of his stuff is actually funny, some is a little annoying but good for youtube standards.

A hilarious 2-Stroke Racer that’s made some great content for those that’re into moto. Oh, and, I think he needs a new knee…maybe just an ACL…and a PCL…maybe some meniscus…?

You don't need a lawyer to see that It's in the contract to have no choice to appreciate his full send enthusiasm at every national.
