Matt is simply one of the most talented kids out there right now. This win simply solidified his level headed-ness and absolute hunger to take on some serious victories. Congrats Matt on the win and if anyone is in and around the Daytona Beach area on the 10th of September they should come and meet up with Matt at Cycle world. See all you boys and girls there.
