MAT HOFFMAN: The Quest For High Air | World of X Games

Спорт

In 2015, skateboarder Danny Way constructed a new ramp in his lifelong search for high air on a skateboard. When it was finished, Way invited BMX Big Air legend Mat Hoffman along to try out the new ramp. This is Hoffman's account.

    Wow. You gotta be kidding. Hoffman was setting records back when I was a kid, and still today. True legend.

    Sorry bud, those are not flatland. The knee saver design came to have more clearance when twisting the bike on airs like look-backs, look-downs (how they were called). Then for flatland, the angles were redesigned, sometimes not too much back sweep, etc. But Hoffman's bars are based on the original 4 piece knee-savers with dimensions for ramp riding. But yes, cool that he still uses those, bringing the classic freestyle look from back then.

    I just got the condors autograph last summer and I cherish it. Everything the man said is proven by him! Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something! Matt built his own bike company and started businesses and won championships all over the globe. Hard work in human form! We salute you Mr.hoffman! Your a pioneer and a legend and it's been a honor to grow up watching your career.

    It's amazing... I'm the same age as Mat and I was also BMX freestyling and ramp riding all throughout the '80s (still do today !) and I'll never forget when I was 16, reading about this 16 year old that was pulling HUGE air and tricks that the Pros of the time weren't even capable of.... He was a true phenomena to us riders back then... like a God of sorts even... So inspiring ! And here I sit today at 50 years old and Mat has been 'with' me for 34 years... and he's still amazing me.... TRUE LEGEND !!
