They say dont meet your legends, but I would give my right arm to give that man a hug. the joy not only him but every single soul in action sports from the late 90s to late 2000s has given me is immeasurable and deserves infinite praise

I feel like not many people know about the semi-truck thing. To go through that alone would have been incredible, but add in all the other injuries and the fact that this dude STILL drop-kicks boundaries in the face, and you get a truly super-human story. Hail the Condor, may the Miracle Boy fly in peace and Love to all BMX!

Yeah man & Dave Mirra got hit by a car also which gave him depression I'm thinking .

If you were a youth during the 90s then Matt Hoffman was a main Man for inspiration for skaters and BMXers alike.

I will never understand how Hoffman is not completely addicted to painkillers. One of the toughest dudes ever.

Just watching home suit up to ride makes me wonder how much pain he's in every morning when he wakes up. But he keeps getting up and keeps going and going. Well done! From one bmxer to another you're a legend!

Glad his story is being told. I saw him ride a few times back in the day...amazing legend.

Check out ESPN's 30 for 30 on Mat. He certainly revolutionized the sport

RIP Dave Mirra Edit: Drinking game time: Take a shot every time Mat says "Go for it"

PS Matt did die twice from this jump, he hooked a weedwacker to his bmx to get more speed and crashed on landing and ruptured his spleen and his blood pressure dropped and his heart stopped twice. He also has gotten his knee drilled through and through with no anesthesia or nothing and had his ligaments replaced all on nothing. That’s the definition of gnarly

Maybe he’s addicted to the pain

thank you for giving me some inspiration to go out and ride

Great guys great edit..

Grew up watching this guy and the miracle boy Mirrah. What an epic human being!

Matt Hoffman your my hero and a true Inspiration to all of us especially me

Hoffman was the man back in the day

This video is awesome, but I think my favorite part is how he it putting his bike together with a crescent wrench.

Ty good man. Miracle man will live on!

Knoxville brings the Yoda figure, lugging beer up the hill, ha

So true. He was/is a mad man in the best possible way.

Mat came to my school when I was a kid and pogo'd over me that was the coolest f'n thing I'd ever witness.

The Condor Matt OG Hoffman. Mad props.

We need a series like epically later'd but for BMX episodes about influencial pro riders. So many amazing individuals 👌

i thought my mind was blown after his knee surgery but his explanation of that floating collar bone solidified hes the terminator sent back with settings on vert ramp algebra. "i need your clothes your boots and your bmx"

That’s incredible

just lugging beer up the hill😂😂😂thats me at the trails nowdays😂

Great people. Love and miss yall, god bless. Matt thank you for all the blessings, please take it easy on your body brother. Peace.

The man is a legend.

Tuffest Man in Sports.

When you can add "died twice" to your list of injuries, you're a gd legend in my book.

This is so rad. I couldn't stop smiling. Stoked level is high!

Such a legend of the sport

don't change Matt - wonderful

thank you

Pure inspiration

The Godfather. "Legend" is a damn understatement.

LEGEND.

Go Matt..friggin.legend !!!!!

Dude amazing

My hero!

I remember reading comics about this guy, he changed bmxing

This is brilliant. Mat you have been an inspiration to me and riders everywhere! Although I would probably stop after my collar bone wasn't attached to anything haha.

respect the legend

I love that Mat calls Johnny PJ.

i feel like mat is the bob ross of getting beat with an iron bar. "im just gonna leave my dislocated hip down in the corner while i smile at you politely and excel at the highest tier of a crrazy hard sport thst i pioneered".. after thought. its truly mind boggling what ahuman can achieve if they are free to do what they are passionate about

Awesome! What a mindset!

watching vids like this makes me want to ride.

Matt Hoffman was a head of his time and the OG of BMX

Three months later & still only up to 1,148 views for some epic air BMX jumps THEY need to keep replugging the classic old stuff! I like that Jonny Knoxville has to transfer his beer from the nice cold bottle to a room temperature jelly jar that he is used to drinking his moon shine out off!

Wow!! Just wow!!

Matt Hoffman legend

I got some pretty gnarly scars from biking, stopped after i got impaled in my torso. But all good now.

Mat Hoffman in the house.

Rider?? Hoffman is a fucking Legend.

This man is a God. No questions asked.

ride a bmx & love life! or just ride a bike. it's good exercise. good for the environment

I didn't know that he got hit by a semi!!!

100 plus concussions holy shit the state of this guys brain

You know your nuts when Johnny Knoxville says he’s worried about you

I can't be the only one that didn't know that Johnny Knoxville worked for vice?

Did the doctor tell him that he will never ride again.. or did the doctor say that if he rode his bike again it would be stupid? I'm thinking it was more likely the latter..

"He would never ride again" again like for the 12th time because he is protected like no one

Show Mat

He owns a huge BMX company. Fits his pedals with a little adjustable wrench.

Makes my stomach turn watching him crash every time. Party on Mat.

that's fucking insane

the Radness!

Dave mirra dont forget the golden boy

not breakless though

Best ramp rider ever. I'm afraid he has CTE now and the result will be a much shorter life but fuck man, Mat rules! Would like more info on the semi accident?

What's with the yoda please?? Love it?? It like for good luck??

Mat! Stem cells dude! Let's grow back some of those muscles back. Do a GoFundMe or any other fundraising platform. You're worth it!

If so one doesn’t know the Kings of big air then there living under a rock.

Hopefully he doesn't have the same fate as Mirra. The Condor is legend.
