Matt Burkeen is the illegitimate son of little known Kiwi motocross star Harry Weta. 
Matt grew up riding a clapped out, but highly modded DT175 and developed his eye watering speed (no goggles) chasing sheep every afternoon on the way home from school.

Sadly Matt was orphaned when his father died in a tragic shearing accident, and no one knew who his mother was, although it was rumoured she was a gymnast in a touring circus. He was then shipped off to America to live with a distant relative named Mike who worked for a comedy company famous for slapstick, or something like that.

It was there that he put his sheep chasing skills to the test at the local motocross track, but he was shocked to find out that in America there was these cheater bikes called four shits.. Despite that, Matt made a bit of a name for himself as the only guy out there running secondhand cheng shin tyres and duck tape numbers.

He’s still seen occasionally by the side of the track talking to himself, although when asked he says he’s talking to his fans, but of course no one believes him.

Was well know for racing a 4 stroke outdoors. Had a big budget with factory support. Has a “2 stroke suck” tattoo on his inner thigh.

Will he be allowed to film next year? Hes got some good content. And the new camera is way better.

Matt owes all his success to Motorama.  Basically an adopted prodigal son of the Amish at this point.
