Matt's out there and a nice guy too. [url= http://30for30.espn.com/film/birth-of-big-air.html ]the birth of big air[/url]
looks interesting...
That is waaaaaay more than a couple of Rizzlas of Phat Air!
Produced by Johnny Knoxville and Spike Jonze - should be awesome! No release date yet, though?
They used to play his videos at Level 3 in Swindon. I'd be in the middle of the dance floor watching while all around me people were killing themselves to RATM.
I was rubbish on a BMX though.
he's a nice bloke too but you can tell when talking to him that he slammed once too many 🙂
Remember seeing him ride at NASS in 2003
What a rider! Other people may vary it up more, but the crowds love big air, and that's what Hoffman delivered in spades...
Amazing he's still in one piece though, definitely had more than his fair share of slams!
inspirational guy.....and my ribs don't seem to hurt as much after watching that
makes me want to get out my aged copy of hammertime!
Hes not really in one piece though is he. More like many pieces held loosely together by titanium and gristle.

Level 3 in Swindon
Lol. Wasted most of my youth there
aggroman!
I remember watching Madd Matt in my first years riding BMX. It was about three or four years old even then and it was amazing.
If you look up the definition of rad to the power of sick you will find "see Mat Hoffman"
I loved his rocket air to barspin to no footer on vert. 😀
I've seen him a few times. The most memorable was a Backyard Jam in the 90s. It was raining, the ramp was wet so no one was riding, apart from Hoffman. As he couldn't carve round the ramp due to the rain he'd drop in on one side and then do all his tricks to fakie on the other! Amazing.
Anyway, Bob Haro was better in his day, one foot one hand x-up kickturns 🙂
(Dont get me started on Eddie Fiola, I hated the yellow GTs)
i met eddie and bob etc at rom a couple of times 81/82 .
got pissed with them all bar eddie in germany last year 🙂
