Matthew Nederlof is the current Namibian 50cc MX Champion, and at the age of 7 Years, the youngest sportsman (in any Sport Code) in Namibian history to be nominated for the "Namibian Junior Sportsman of the Year" award. He is also the only moto-cross rider to have reached the finals for this award.

Although he did not win the award, having to compete against sportsman of up to 20 years old, he caused a stir at the premier gala event and made sure that Moto Cross would get the attention it deserves.
