Matt Burkeen's YouTube coverage of the MXON

Haven't seen it yet but looking forward to it. His videos are entertaining.

He is a good follow. His videos are always good and his commentary has some humor.

Literally, this type of footage brings all the emotion of the event, it really is the noise and the details of the bikes and riding

No choice! It's in the contract!!

i watched his Qualifier highlight video on Saturday night, fucking awesome content.  much better than any other highlight video i watched.

dude kills it and i'm here for it

He lost me when he kissed the ring

His sections showing the first couple laps of the riders in about 10th place back are AWESOME!  The TV crew should show that!  The front runners space out a bit and set fast laps. The guys in 10th back are bar to bar 4 wide scrubbing 110’ jumps. That’s incredible to see. 

There is not much current  stuff moto related on YouTube that is worth watching.

He should aspire to be like the great meth mouth dude… what’s his name again? Kinda looks like j law.. 🙄

He does a great job, surprised racer x hasn’t offered him something. 

I'm a subscriber/notifications-On supporter of MattyB's YouTube channel. 

Kid is good, but I taught him everything he knows!!

I stood by him or around him for the whole Big Hill Jam. Super cool guy. He puts out fantastic content and has amazing quality considering he's shooting with just his phone and it's mostly recorded live as it happens. 

I noticed his MXON videos are getting 100k+ views in just a few days, so that's awesome for him because thatll mean more video sponsors etc. I enjoy the raw fill and its wild if he just using his phone. 

Guessing it is more beneficial for him to keep going it the way he has been. Not exactly sure how the YouTube monetization goes but hope he’s doing well. Def a solid guy just having some fun.  

It was great,  Matt is doing some cool stuff

Matt been killing it fir years.

Great arenacross vids to.

It blows my mind that MattyB isn’t getting paid to go to races at this point. His coverage is great, his opinions are both insightful & entertaining, and he seems to keep such a positive attitude about everything that it doesn’t matter if he pokes fun or used a less than appropriate nickname. 

He’s also been super helpful & kind the couple times I’ve met him. Stinks he couldn’t even get a media pass to some of the races this year. Seems like if 100k + of us watch his videos, he’s  a media guy now 🤷🏻‍♂️

Very good. That footage looks so much more impressive and exciting than the TV images. 

And don’t tell me that every one of those riders isn’t giving it every ounce of their effort. 

Please ditch the sushi and wasabi references though. 

 

Good stuff and great sense of humour imo. Didn’t Matt used to post here?

He doesn't post much.

Thanks Mav, I know he did a thread on the Outdoors on the 2t 250, but couldn’t remember what there’d been since, cheers.

Matt has posted in this thread already. lol 

If you're talking about SlowOldGuy, that's his father. 

He actually made a video one time comparing what he made on YouTube versus if he had raced at the stop watch national I think it was. If I remember more from yt than had he raced. And that was at time of video, so if views go up so would monetization I assume.

Arenacrash!

Had a few people tell me about this thread, thank you all!! Have so so much passion for this so really hypes me up that people enjoy! To broadly answer some questions from above, I am making way way more now than I did racing with much less risk…not that I was really making much racing so a pretty low bar was set but I’m way better off now.  1st couple years of YouTube were really tough & I was barely getting by & I was racing as well so both things were distracting me from the other, but now that I’ve been able to focus on content since im not racing things have really picked up & I’m stoked about it! Racing was really fun & I loved it but it’s just not a career when you lack a bit of talent like I sometimes do 😂 my body is cooked but at least what I did while racing has led me to stay in the sport! I appreciate the kind words and all of you that watch, you help me do what I love! Thank you!!

Also Here’s the video someone mentioned where I did the comparison on racing & YouTube for anyone that’s interested 

Did you ever get your knee fixed and are you riding at all anymore? Love the YouTube channel. Getting some killer views on your MXdN vids and you got a spike in subs, too

When I first started seeing your work, I guess some of your 1st videos, posted here I thought:"This guy should take this seriously, and make a buck or 2". Haha...

Glad it's going your way, and I'm always ready for new stuff.
