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.

he invented half the tricks in the book... if not more.
Mat Hoffman truly is THE birth of big air 🦅
I've seen MAT HOFFMAN in the 80's in Bercy sport palace / France.. It was the first 540° on a quarter pipe i've seen too.. A brand new door was opened that day.. Welcome to the next level ! This kind of guys make the History..
This dude is still crushing it at his age. What the what?!? And that stash is crazy awesome!

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.
The man the myth the legend at his finest it's so cool to see is still riding my inspiration since I was thirteen
Hoffman is an absolute legend.
He is the raddest that ever lived
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 !!
Matt the legend forever bmx
I thought for sure he was done riding a long time ago 🤘🏼 decided to search for a documentary on him my mind is blown🤯🤯Hoffman forever!!!!!

They need to rig up some kind of airbag suit that they can activate if they know they're going to bail.

A broken collarbone for Mat Hoffman is like the rest of us breaking a fingernail.
Never forget that Danny killed a man with a brain injury for looking at him...
Mat has more guts than brains. One of these days, he's going to end up on the 6 o'clock news for all the wrong reasons.
