He is the best!! ever!

[codairsoftsoldier]

I have tuff wheels on my race bmx bike there starting to be pobular again

[oldsBMXer]

Most people don't know that Mat could do some flatland. He was never going to win, but he was good enough not to be embarassed.

[lakerfan82k3]

1:10 Omg, if I even remotely tried that I'd have a mouth full of gym floor.

[SXK32]

yup, he wins.

[crasseux]

HI everybody.

Just wonder if there is a biography of matt ?

If there is one let me know.

ride hard from france

(sorry for the bad english). \o/

[dennyd71]

@crasseux - yes there is. written about 7 years ago its called ' ride of my life'. should be able to find it on amazon or ebay. a brilliant read.

[tomelliott9]

@dennyd71 are you kidding me? 7 years ago i was in year 6 at school and had to write a fictional autobiography. i did mine about BMX and my mum recomended the title "Ride of my life"

[ricks0count]

@dennyd71 lol im reading that right now

[dennyd71]

@crasseux i yes its called 'ride of my life' and is an excellent read. try amazon or ebay.

[Chitownrunthis]

@crasseux theres a more recent one that was aired on espn show called 30 for 30 and the episode was called the birth of big air

[SoLiDJinZo]

@crasseux look up 'the birth of big air' here on youtube

[xVokalzx]

[SKOOLBOIZZ3]

woahh this is sickk doee..

[refukulator]

sick song to sick ridin back in the day

[RADBertolucci]

Mat Hoffman is a total legend!|

I really don't know how people are going to react when he die..

And he's not getting all the respect and recognition that he deserves!

[papercutn1nja]

put his foot down like a bitch...

[cfishfly]

do u no if this is when he was signed with skyway or the mountain dew team?

[burnitdown01]

@cfishfly skyway dude

[burnitdown01]

for those who do not know, at this time there was no such thing as a rider who only rode flat or a rider who only rode pipes.you where expected to do it all.that was freestyle. in a freestyle compe you had quarter pipe,flatland and mini ramps although i believe by this time mini ramps had been phased out. could be wrong same with the old school bike. we did not have flat specific or ramp specific we had freestylers one bike to do it all.

[koreanmaniac216]

he came to my school today!! WOOHOO! thumbs up for woodland middle school! :)

[tomcat2285]

He's more machine now than man

[bagelswest29]

sick

[bagelswest29]

damn good tricks

[bagelswest29]

damn good triclks

[SuperKONR]

lol thats nothing compared to today's flatland

[GhibliFan1]

@SuperKONR

Yeah, it's moved on a lot...but this was 1987, and he was 14 or something at the time. A year later he was inventing most of the tricks performed today, and he's not even a flatlander! And he single handedly resurrected the dead sport of BMX and made it what it is today. When he did that, there was one BMX magazine left and bike companies were going bust all over the place. He raised it from the dead...the man is a total legend. We all owe him a lot of respect.

[djdiverse]

Haha! I live in Oklahoma. I see Matt around Oklahoma City regularly. He is not dead. SMH...

[beartechdeck]

wooooooooooooow

[bigben1986]

matt hoffman who would have thought he would become the king of air. matt hoffman the michael jordan of air, dave mirra the kobe bryant.

[hondahp18]

if only the crowd knew at the time they were witnessing a legend

[burnitdown01]

@hondahp18 we knew we where witnessing a legend dude .he was already dominating the amateur ranks. we knew as soon as he went pro he was going to dethrone all our favourite riders. it was a sad but exciting time.

[PsychoticManiac]

rip matt hoffman

[moraleserick3]

@PsychoticManiac wtf hes not dead

[Strat0Blues]

Cru Jones

[samueloverbay]

he is not dead he just gets hurt real bad and i know because i saw a video and he did not die

[XxXxDominator]

Nice vid, good job on that no hander it waz perty dam cool...matt u still got it in you

[F3FisGoodforYou]

Totally Rad !

[anstseth]

this sucked, you guys remember "RAD"? the flatland-dancing part? that was some badass 80's flatland bmx riding.

[tyraelcrix]

yea viva el BMX =0)

[radaction]

He was good at the ground, hardly put his foot down. Also didn't have a rotor as he kept spinning his bars to get his cable back straight, I notice lots of riders back then did that. Very technical ride. Good video!

[demazphantom]

This is back when people knew what the fuck they were doing, Hoffman for president.

[VeeDeLarge]

@demazphantom "Back when people knew what the fuck they were doing"? If your insinuating that bmx was better back then, well that's absurd. This sport isn't like music where one could argue a certain eras superiority over the next. Every single facet of riding has evolved 10 fold, whether its flatland trick difficulty, the crazy air on dirt or kids tripping pegs altogether and pedal/sprocket grinding monster rails. As long as the next generation is interested it will continue to get better

[demazphantom]

@VeeDeLarge Cool story bro. If you look at the kids these days; You will get my point. =\ Seriously, if you have a bmx and can jump on it; Your automatically cool. I agree with you on it expanding though; But it's mainly been for the worst.

I myself was pretty good as a kid but it gets boring when everyone around you poses doing tailwhips and crap...You could understand my negativity.

[VeeDeLarge]

@demazphantom

Truth be told I was kinda waiting on your reply. I looked up some of the newer flatland comps and I ABSOLUTELY have to agree with you in regards to flat. It seemed a bit repetitive, albeit difficult and impressive. I felt like everything I was watching was a setup for the inevitable 20 second spin. I also found it strange that there are quite a few competitive riders that favor pedal less frames. All a part of the evolution I suppose. 28 and I feel old. Boooo!

[demazphantom]

@VeeDeLarge HA! Man; You have to have seen the skate park comps I've been too! Kids telling me to get out cause I was doing multiple mistys and superman bar spins. Hell yeah It's repetitive, but how many people can land them a lot =\ I was kinda hoping for your reply too, it's interesting getting other peoples opinions.

I'm sorta too old to be getting back into bikes ether....a lot of people tell me I should give it up..

[sportbiker86]

these tricks should be done more often

[ozzyhero95]

13 idiots

[Richmidwest]

oh shit he his cool

[HisInfernalMajesty70]

flatland has to be the hardest thing to try learn, takes unbelievable balance and control plus years of practise.

[haberfag]

krass

[mrhoffame]

OH my! Old school flatland to the song FLY GIRL lol! I miss these days!

[kidd1330]

i noe

[Theoilcan]

Thumbs up if you're watching this after listening to Kevin and Bean.

[dazzitboy]

[P1CUZKO]

[94Traxxas]

hoffman is like a brake dancer for bmx bikes in this video

[PumperPc]

this guy is more good than dave mirra.. xD

[methodandmadness]

His final move is called ''street surfing''. It's an old school move, I know, but do people still consider to be impressive? I hope so because it's the best trick I got.

[Pheelingood]

nice camera fucking faggot

[Gilly216]

@Pheelin

[jamacphee]

@Pheelingood NINTEEN EIGHTYSEVEN FUCKO

[Scottde420]

@BMTHBC13 yeah i always thought flatland looked like dancing

[chrisblekos]

i have a couple of those oldschool bmx :D:D:D idk they suit me more for my flairs whip etc than the new bmx bikes :/

[DJ2RUD3]

Does anyone know how to tell the make of a bmx bike i got given a frame and tyres but there are no stickers just a number underneath if you can help send me a message

[staone1]

@DJ2RUD3 you could try putting the cereal number on one of those websites that help identify bikes and shit just google it

[qualm43]

lol wow flatland has come a long way huh?

[calbeesnapcult]

right after this stage a lot of guys got into scuffing and more rolling linking stuff. But this era was fun too, lots of trick circles and hanging out in parking lots, but I guess that's still the same.

[ImTheHaloGod]

loving the flatland kiss of death near the end lol sweet stuff dint know matt did flatland lol

[markguitarexpert]
