Okay, doing a tough event on a 300, you're a bad ass! Doing this event on a T7? YOU ARE A MC GOD!
it is awesome to watch him wrestle that 450lb MC around like a 300 2 stroke!

Funny he gets the hole shot. That start was made for the big bike.
Pretty expensive mistake @ 5min dropping his front tire off the edge.
How is he allowed to go under the tape and skip part of the course @ 7min?
I only got about 10min in. Watching long motorcycle vids in one shot makes me nauseous.

So, is this kind of like "influencers" and such? Do something to get attention and make your money that way? Does yamaha sponsor him to ride the bike? Would he be competitive (like top 10) on a regular bike?

While impressive I don't really understand it.
I believe yes, yes, yes, and yes in that order.

he’s become the first rider to race Erzbergrodeo’s main event and reach checkpoint 17 on a twin-cylinder bike.
That is history in the off road world and YES, he makes money from it, but he loves it too obviously. If you have not seen "The Seeker", that is a great film as well. This guy is gifted, there are a lot of really good off road riders, but there are few that can ride a twin cyl-700cc bike like he does. I mean he can trials bike the DAMN thing, that is massive skill IMO. Cyril Despres is another one.
