Despite not competing anymore, Matt still one of the heaviest hitters in the game and deserves an immense amount of respect. Being on the test hit crew for hardline should tell you everything you need to know
He's great at multiple disciplines which is insane. And he's getting so much better at DH, if he really wanted to I bet he could make a career out of it. As far as heaviest hitters in the game, no doubt about it. When you're a 20 year old kid you just wanna ride and have fun, but when you're 30 you better have something lined up other than riding, cause that's not lasting long. He's done that better than anyone, and he's probably doing second only to Seth (Berm Peak) in the entire genre.
It's nice getting to know your career better. Those of us who have come to the MTB scene at an older age don't really know about the career epicness for many big name riders such as yourself. One of my favorite videos of yours.
"...obviously I went there and knocked myself out in practice..." I always love your videos and sense of humor, a real story of making it happen with hard work and dedication.
I'm personally glad that you no longer do comps. CTE is real and you are such a good ambassador for MTB. You have done a lot and keep doing a lot. You have more than done your part for the sport!
I like the fact you acknowledge luck. Everyone is hungry, passionate, dedicated, talented etc, sometimes you just need a break to make it. Love your stuff, your humour makes it for me.
I am a 44-year-old man, and I greatly admire you. Your positive attitude is inspiring, and I appreciate your efforts in making the world a better place through your videos. Please continue your excellent work.
Matt I am 72 and watch all of your videos,I am a kayaker😂 but so love your content,love how you come across your courage your humour, its got me into watching redbull hardline thank you ❤
Wow. I remember finding out about you from a video Banshee shared of you practicing at your compound, before the Colorado Freeride Festival. I think that's how I found out about your youtube channel. I've always admired how you seemed to come out of nowhere, and despite being "the new kid on the block", you were willing to push the envelope, and risk the biscuit. You've always struck me as a down-to-earth, everyman athlete, who isn't afraid to show his failures, or talk about his struggles. You laugh it off, get back up, and try again. But I think that's what makes seeing your success that much more enjoyable. In spite of all your incredible accomplishments, you're still humble, and act like the rookie on the circuit. It's been incredible and inspiring to see your progression over the years, and I can't wait to see what you do next!
Thanks for the story and motivation. Im just now getting back into mountain biking after 22 years of not riding at all. I love it, I miss it, and now I'm over 40 and out of shape. Everyone keeps telling me I'm too old, but your videos like this remind me that I can make my own destiny.
One of your best ever vids - as you grow older you learn humility and that vulnerability is a super-power, but the youthful aggression and determination is what made you. Next you’ll learn that we are simply part of a community and that community is the best thing you’ve ever been part of.
The best thing about watching you for me was when you had to ride the sick hardlline course and you showed the kind of fearless determination it takes to test yourself downhill racing. It's a character building experience at its core to force yourself to attempt to improve. You rocked and your practice runs were great. I love this sport and us old farts who were 40s back in the 90s thought the sport was going to die off. It's just incredible to see how wrong we were
Hats off to you Matt, after meeting you at ArenaCross in Birmingham, you are a really nice guy and giving time for your fans is no effort, well done. You are an example and proof that hard work pays.
I've been following you since 2017. Can't remember did i found you on instagram or in youtube but i remember your blue orange bike and your videos with your brother. Fun to watch back to those days when watching your videos i then thought that you had already "made it" with the cool sponsors and nice tracks to ride. It always seemed you were living the life. I appreciate you showing what kind of a hard work it takes to be pro athlete and "influencer" i guess is the word. Anyways cool to see you thrive and i wish you the best luck in future. Aaand your videos are super quality nowadays. Will be watching.🔥
That was a great video. Came to the channel blind about 18 months ago, can now see the timeline, like the compound has a story behind it. Also noticed Jamie hasn't always been carrying things!
Hey Matt - saw you at Hardline in Maydena Tasmania. I saw you take ages with the fans autographing stuff for them, after what was a pretty hard day's work. That was a class act. respect.
The drive to continue through all those crashes is what makes you A legend in the game! .big up to RUclips because I don't think I would know about you otherwise.😅 I'm 37 and You're videos got me back Into mountain biking. Along with harry maine to give him his props. Peace out✌🏼!! legend...❤️🔥
Love this video mate! Ive been rooting for you since way back before you did your first drop in in Whistler, have watched your content since the beginning and will continue to root for you anytime i see your name pop up. You have been an amazing rep for the sport and for Marin (i actually currently ride a SQ3), so its great to let everyone whose following along in on the reality of your story as you continue to be an inspiration for all.
Its funny I just happened to be in winter park for the Colorado Freeride Fest when you were competing, and it was before I got into mountain biking. I remember seeing you do the double backflip, and I was so amazed, and I wanted to be able too do cool tricks like you. But I forgot about it for like 4 ish years, but then I stumbled upon your channel and that’s what got me into mountain biking, and I haven’t looked back. 21:18
Nice Matt, I only discovered you since lockdown. You were obviously a legend but I didn't know why! I was amazed by you body! Yeah, you seemed a bit tubbier than others, and your presentation was super sweet. You just don't expect someone like you, chatting to the viewers like a big kid, to also have balls of steel! Obviously you had a history so it's great to catch up on it. And this year's videos are proof you are still making history! You give me and so many others hope, while we live vicariously through you!
love to see it matt, i’ve been watching your youtube since before the vids with harry main and seen you in nearly all the competitions you spoke about in the video, so good to see how many people you’ve inspired and love what the channel has become these days keep at it g
Relatively new to your channel and career, so this was great. You always call us "Legends", but you've had it wrong all this time - it is you who is quite clearly "The Legend"! 💪🚴💯
Matt, this video was amazing! Thank you SO much for your continued passion and the work you put into this channel. I know we all joke about other people carry it. But in reality, we are here for you! You have an amazing bag of tricks and your builds are legendary. Here is to many many more great videos, and many more adventures!!
Easily the best Matt Jones video I have ever watched! Thanks Matt! I really enjoy these "storytelling" videos mixed with past clips that follow the story... great one!
met you and your brother at 4x racing many times, always knew you had it in you to make it as a professional rider. its been amazing to watch your journey.
Happy to hear you pushed through man, i had no idea your career went that way. I didnt find you until the pandemic. Happy to hear you kept going and made it to where you are today. Keep going brother.
Thank you so much for putting this video together for us! You are a true champion and a humble person. I love your channel and am so happy for your success!
Insane to see where you've got too now! I remember finding your channel on 20k and have watched you ever since. I grew up watching you when I was a teenager and still do now.
followed since the early days, always been a fan,, no one goes large like you do my guy! The way your channels grown and what ben also brings to the mix,, your legends!
This is definitely a crazy story. I didn’t follow mtb anything until a few years back and I found you on RUclips so this is all news to me! Glad you finally got your full crankworx run in!
I had forgotten about this RUclips channel. I watched loads of your builds during lockdown. I ended up in hospital for 8 days with Covid. During lockdown I decided to start recording music. Since July 2021 I’ve released here albums and an EP. Nothing like what you do but it’s a similar thing in so,e ways as it’s the most fun I’ve had with music. Took nearly 50 years to get here. There’s no money, sponsors or fame but I’m having a great time.
It's been awesome to watch your career. I had seen you a few times on the random crankworx events and then found your RUclips channel. The lockdown trails were a bright spot in a dark time. Right away it was clear that youre more then just a rider, you're an entertainer. People ask me what shows I watch and I say Matt Jones, Sam Reynolds, Jaimie O'brian, If you keep making videos I will be watching.
What a great video been watching you for years. But it’s great to look back and see where it all started and the graft that goes into it . Keep it up dude. 🤙🏻
Started watching you in 2020 when things were starting to come back to life here in the states after lockdown. RUclips recommended one of your vids to me out of nowhere one evening. Had never mountain biked before let alone watched mtb'ers on youtube... Bought a bike a few months later and now I ride all the time. Appreciate you and your career my friend. Would never have found mtb without ya
Great Video Matt!! I only become a fan of slopestyle after watching your Lockdown videos! It's great to hear your full pro story, I look forward being a fan for everything still to come!!
BRILLIANT Video Matt, perfect summary of How you got there. Having spent a couple of days with you in the last few years and you are a really lovely guy.. and now a DAD too, the best part of your career!
Lockdown was actually pretty awesome, I found your RUclips in lockdown as loads of others that I still watch today. It also allowed me to spend quality time riding bikes with my kids who now both race and love it. Your a legend Matt and my kids loved meeting you at the Malvern’s
What an awesome video Matt. Thanks for sharing your journey with us all. Sit back and chill and really soak up and enjoy your well earned 10th birthday. Legend!!
Massive fan of the honest account, reckon you’ve missed a few interesting bits tho as this could quite easily be over an hour long and tbf mate I’m here for it!! The cars/crossers defo deserve a mention!
Man your career is really really impressive and inspiring ! Being able to recover from every injury and getting back to the best comps is amazing! There's only one word: Legend
Matt, I´ve been there for many of those moments and still enjoyed watching. Relived some of those moments as well, RocketAir, CFF, Joyride... Hope we will have a session sometime soon.
I get here accidentally. I've seen your video about polish MTB event and because of red bull helmet i decide i will watch few of your videos. I have almost nothing in common with MTB, except few friends as I am snowboarder. Loved the fact this video was perfectly clear to me. You did not explain only your path but also the basics of MTB competition, so guy like me who never watch one could understand it all! Good job wish you 1M subs, leaving one from me as a help to achieve it! Keep the good work
Definitely your best video by far. A lot of work and looking into your own past. I bet you were amazed of how much you have done. Keep up the good work. Show the youngster what it's all about. 🤪👍
You're a great story teller Matt obviously an incredible rider but love the way you put your videos together. Definitely an inspiration for me and my riding. Thanks man!
What an amazing video Matt, This just shows the kids that you need to stay hungry, committed, enjoy something. You don't get something for nothing. A perfect example of putting work in to get a result.
An incredible story and fascinating to listen to. I was one of the people that found your videos during lockdown and have watched every single video since! 🙌🏼 Thanks for the entertainment Matt & the rest of the crew!
It’s so nice to see someone still so passionate about what he does despite hitting so many bumps along the way. He just gets up and carries himself onto the next chapter when most would walk away. That type of tenacity is missing in our culture nowadays.
I'm happy to say iv been a loyal subscriber from your very first video, I can remember when you and harry hooked up with harry main when you was teaching him to ride trails on a jump bike instead of riding them on a bmx. It's good to see how far you've come not only with redbull but with yourself and your own brand helfair congratulations on the success Matt I oook forward watching what the future brings 🤘🏼
Thanks for sharing that Matt, these sort of bios and snapshots into the lives of the athletes we love to follow are sometimes more than than your individual accomplishments.
Dude, what an amazing life! I discovered you during the beginning of the lockdowns and here for the long haul as long as you provide. I can't love this video enough. Thanks for the insight on your journey, ... and thank you for accepting my naming TWO of your features in the "Playground"! I'm honored. .... Keep being you!
Overwhelming and so inspiring to watch I’m not even part of your life but this video made me quite emotional seeing how happy you are after all of the upsets and misfortune. Keep it mate because you’re absolute inspirations to anyone watching and a true hero to us all.
Genuinely very interesting. I thought you were just a "nearly made it but found youtube instead" type of bloke. Respect to you for your hard work, enthusiasm, and positivity. This is coming from a 50 year old biker who still dreams of hitting a big jump 🤙
Brought tears to my eyes that video did. Do the world a favor and just be Matt Jones, don't change anything. It's always something that I look forward to is one of your videos coming along because I get your sense of humor and your camaraderie with your brother and all your friends and it's just a good time. Thanks for all you do. I've been watching you since about 2010 and yes you are one of my favorite riders. Keep them coming. Say hi to your brother for me he's a fantastic guy too
Brilliant video, one of the best. I've been lucky enough to meet Matt and he was an absolute pleasure to meet, genuine nice guy. Keep up the good work, an inspiration to many.
This is the best video you have made on your channel! Bravo to all you've achieved and the inspiration that you've paved for others to chase their goals and dreams! I hope you come back to Rotorua for CWX or even a riding holiday
Just shows what kind of a legend you are sir. No problem or set back you can't overcome. Always loved your style from back in the day and hated that you never had the chance of top level greatness because you have the skill and drive, just not the luck. Absolute legend. Jamie still carries the channel 🤣🤣🤣🤘🤘🤘
my first introduction to you as a rider was at the first joy ride. but it wasnt until Frame of Minds that i really started following. i must have watched that video a dozen or more times. I subscribed around the time of the pumptrack build at the compound, and bought my first Helfare shirts during the inital launch. I have the signed white blank card that came with the order to prove it, haha. i never set out to become a fan of yours, but youve done such a good job of bringing us along on your career its hard not to become a fan. Cheers!
I’ve been following since 2018 from harry main. I also met Matt the same year at the 417 bike park and he’s just such a genuine down to earth guy. It’s been great from then on seeing his channel blow up from the lockdown series to jumping your own house! I also met Matt at the Malverns classic festival over the weekend and he’s still the same genuine guy I met 6 years ago. He goes out his way to make sure fans get photos or things signed or even just a chat about anything. 100% deserves so much more recognition
I LOVE this video! I've only been flowing you since the compound rebuild and didn't really know your history. I knew you were a slope style rider because, well, that seemed obvious to me. But I really didnt know your journey. Thank you for this. 🤘
I feel like this video is so important for the kids who have no idea how crazy matts career has been
frfr
No doubt about!
Ikr
I'm 46 and only found Matt when he started rebuilding his compound so... It's me. I'm kids. 👀🤘🤣
Not only Matt, but also some others who don't really go in depth about it like Sam Pilgrim!
Despite not competing anymore, Matt still one of the heaviest hitters in the game and deserves an immense amount of respect. Being on the test hit crew for hardline should tell you everything you need to know
I could not possibly agree more. Hardline was all the evidence anyone should ever need; that will hold up forever.
He's great at multiple disciplines which is insane. And he's getting so much better at DH, if he really wanted to I bet he could make a career out of it.
As far as heaviest hitters in the game, no doubt about it. When you're a 20 year old kid you just wanna ride and have fun, but when you're 30 you better have something lined up other than riding, cause that's not lasting long. He's done that better than anyone, and he's probably doing second only to Seth (Berm Peak) in the entire genre.

"...obviously I went there and knocked myself out in practice..." I always love your videos and sense of humor, a real story of making it happen with hard work and dedication.
this had me. like obviouslyyy lmao
The King of carnage .What a legend and a humble brother. Respect.
I'm personally glad that you no longer do comps. CTE is real and you are such a good ambassador for MTB. You have done a lot and keep doing a lot. You have more than done your part for the sport!
I like the fact you acknowledge luck. Everyone is hungry, passionate, dedicated, talented etc, sometimes you just need a break to make it. Love your stuff, your humour makes it for me.
This man was the coolest teenager ever😮 keep going matt Your insane
I am a 44-year-old man, and I greatly admire you. Your positive attitude is inspiring, and I appreciate your efforts in making the world a better place through your videos. Please continue your excellent work.
Matt I am 72 and watch all of your videos,I am a kayaker😂 but so love your content,love how you come across your courage your humour, its got me into watching redbull hardline thank you ❤
With all your YT shenanigans, I sometimes forget what an absolute legend rider you were/are. Top man. Enjoyed the journey so far👊

I can remember when you started appearing in Harry Main's videos. I've been following you ever since!
Keep up the good work!
Let's get Matt to 1m subs guys! He's the best in the business at this, let's not forget Jamie for growing this channel!
One of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time, just shows what can be achieved if you dare to dream. Well done mate, massively deserved fame!
Absolutely stoked for you dude. Have watched your career for years and all your RUclips stuff during lock down kept me going. LEGEND!!!
Good for you, dude. Nothing but stoked for what you've accomplished and built. Luck + preparation + being receptive to whatever comes.
Nice Matt, I only discovered you since lockdown. You were obviously a legend but I didn't know why! I was amazed by you body! Yeah, you seemed a bit tubbier than others, and your presentation was super sweet. You just don't expect someone like you, chatting to the viewers like a big kid, to also have balls of steel! Obviously you had a history so it's great to catch up on it. And this year's videos are proof you are still making history! You give me and so many others hope, while we live vicariously through you!

top video matt, i found you during covid and your videos really helped us all through that period and got a lot of people into mountain biking too!
So cool to hear the full story :) been following for like 6 years now but there was still a lot I learned from this video. Such an inspiration man

Awesome video Matt, proving that hard work and heartache do give success. You are an inspiration to young riders !
Great work, it has been amazing to watch your career progress. I’ve been watching your RUclips since the beginning
Such a great story and the video shows it well. Best video I’ve watched on RUclips for a while.
Amazing journey, and such a great attitude all along the way! Well deserved success 👌👏
Thanks for sharing that Matt, these sort of bios and snapshots into the lives of the athletes we love to follow are sometimes more than than your individual accomplishments.
Dude, what an amazing life! I discovered you during the beginning of the lockdowns and here for the long haul as long as you provide. I can't love this video enough. Thanks for the insight on your journey, ... and thank you for accepting my naming TWO of your features in the "Playground"! I'm honored. .... Keep being you!
no matter what, no one can ever say you didn't send it Matt. bonafied badass.
nice to see you really come up from the bottom to the top, a true inspiration and a pleasure to watch. A pure dedicated sportsman for sure.
Overwhelming and so inspiring to watch I’m not even part of your life but this video made me quite emotional seeing how happy you are after all of the upsets and misfortune. Keep it mate because you’re absolute inspirations to anyone watching and a true hero to us all.
Special video that. Worth taking the time over. Well done Matt
I've always known you were a badass, but your story is nuts🙌 Glad you made this video, it shows how much hard work is behind "living the dream."
It’s been a wild ride and I’ve followed it all the way! It’s been a pleasure watching you grow over the years Matt 🙌🏽
Genuinely very interesting. I thought you were just a "nearly made it but found youtube instead" type of bloke. Respect to you for your hard work, enthusiasm, and positivity. This is coming from a 50 year old biker who still dreams of hitting a big jump 🤙
what a ride! thx for taking us with you all the way
Loved watching the progression in one video! Absolute legend 👏
You’re a mad man 🎉🎉🎉 love your videos ..!! Love your drive and all the content .. thank you for being a beast 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you stuck with it you were the only reason I started mountain biking.
Brought tears to my eyes that video did. Do the world a favor and just be Matt Jones, don't change anything. It's always something that I look forward to is one of your videos coming along because I get your sense of humor and your camaraderie with your brother and all your friends and it's just a good time. Thanks for all you do. I've been watching you since about 2010 and yes you are one of my favorite riders. Keep them coming. Say hi to your brother for me he's a fantastic guy too
Such an easy guy to root for. Keep living your dreams man and we will be with you each step of the way!
Brilliant video, one of the best. I've been lucky enough to meet Matt and he was an absolute pleasure to meet, genuine nice guy. Keep up the good work, an inspiration to many.
I started watching since the lockdown. Ive always wondered about your career but now i know. Thanks for this. Cheers from Vancouver BC
Great video and story!! So happy you’re in the sport pushing progress and innovation!! Hope to see you at rampage next week!
You mention luck a lot... it seems to me a collection of hard work, calculation and balls of steel! Great video dude and congrats on the 10 years!
I hadn't realised that I have actually been following you as long as your start from Youtubing. Love the career overview and the insights
This is the best video you have made on your channel! Bravo to all you've achieved and the inspiration that you've paved for others to chase their goals and dreams! I hope you come back to Rotorua for CWX or even a riding holiday
Amazing story. Lots of hard work and not giving up. A proper inspiration. Keep it up.
Just shows what kind of a legend you are sir. No problem or set back you can't overcome. Always loved your style from back in the day and hated that you never had the chance of top level greatness because you have the skill and drive, just not the luck. Absolute legend. Jamie still carries the channel 🤣🤣🤣🤘🤘🤘
Great video Matt. Quite the history and quite an slope style athlete!!!!
my first introduction to you as a rider was at the first joy ride. but it wasnt until Frame of Minds that i really started following. i must have watched that video a dozen or more times. I subscribed around the time of the pumptrack build at the compound, and bought my first Helfare shirts during the inital launch. I have the signed white blank card that came with the order to prove it, haha.
i never set out to become a fan of yours, but youve done such a good job of bringing us along on your career its hard not to become a fan. Cheers!
Great retrospective. I discovered your channel during the lock down builds. Been a fan ever since. Rawk on.
I’ve been following since 2018 from harry main. I also met Matt the same year at the 417 bike park and he’s just such a genuine down to earth guy. It’s been great from then on seeing his channel blow up from the lockdown series to jumping your own house! I also met Matt at the Malverns classic festival over the weekend and he’s still the same genuine guy I met 6 years ago. He goes out his way to make sure fans get photos or things signed or even just a chat about anything. 100% deserves so much more recognition
I LOVE this video! I've only been flowing you since the compound rebuild and didn't really know your history. I knew you were a slope style rider because, well, that seemed obvious to me. But I really didnt know your journey. Thank you for this. 🤘
Respect Matt. Watched you for years. Top bloke. You deserve everything you I’ve achieved. Hard work and a bit of pain. 🤜❤️🤛
