Mat Hoffman`s first Flair

[dbodner22]

I love people saying "oh, this is common place, big deal". People can do this trick because of Mat Hoffman. This video isn't a big deal because he did a flair, it's a big deal because he was the first to do a flair. He spent months in his warehouse perfecting the angles and body shifts to get it right. He had nobody to learn from because nobody had done it before.

[Blodyille47]

Matt Hoffman or Mat Hoffman?

[jamesbegg989]

haha 0.35 crazy guyyy#

[h0wn0wbr0wnc0w95]

HAHA that looks like one of them little circus bikes with the really tall seatpost :D

[codyjarrett55]

Wats with that guy (not Hoffman but in the croud) he's like YAAAAAY :') praise the lord lol

[KUKIOLU]

THE OLD BIKES ARE GOLD!

DON'T BROKEN

[RepOregon541]

Hoffman is the shit:)

[nunezmiguel99]

That was a strait up backflip and then a 180, now flakes look different lol:D

[PaulFindlaybmx]

wow that was sketchyy haha

[lemonite1]

I'm not a BMXer, I'm a skateboarder. Even I, think Matt Hoffman rips. Skateboarders give that guy props, he's 100%gnarl.

[santaskater1]

the guy is so happy hes fainting when hes buddy lands the backflip 180 .. what a good friend =)!

[fizz9119]

look at the guy fall to his knee's hahaha

[R3ACTBMX]

does anybody know the song?

[sk8erjoe7]

haha epic slow mo victory jump at 0:31

[leighhills1]

hi my name's harry main, im considered an amazing rider cos i can 900 inramp on a 9kg bike.

well hi my name's mat hoffman. i can 900 inramp on a 15kg bike so suck shit hahaha

[CreativeUpload]

@leighhills1 eh, no, harry main is considered amazing beacuse he can do tricks like double whip flair on 6 foot quarters

[leighhills1]

@CreativeUpload and what does that have to do with my comment? :/ other than wanting to start an argument?

[CreativeUpload]

@leighhills1 no im just pointing out that harry main isnt looked upon highly because of the 900's, its the other technical tricks he stands out because of. matt hoffman is amazing, and i respect him in every aspect, but harrys style is further developed, hoffman was more of a pioneer in creating tricks that were before deemed impossible, i respect them both equally aye.

[leighhills1]

@CreativeUpload Well that was a complete waste of time even writing that comment wasn't it? Clearly I wasn't saying "harry main is only considered to be a good rider cos he can 900" I know he can do good tricks, other than 900's.

I was just saying Nowdays the "best of the best" do 900's, on 9kg bikes. and Mat Hoffman could do them years ago on a 15kg bike.

Go start an argument with someone else dude.

[CreativeUpload]

@leighhills1 so as soon as i try to discuss something its deemed an argument? this is why youtube is stupid

[leighhills1]

@CreativeUpload you mean *disagree, not discuss. But yeh ok

[CreativeUpload]

@leighhills1 Disagreeing is a part of discussing, whats there to discuss if you agree on everything?

[JarredScootz]

Its great how he actually does the flip and then the 180, Id like to see it at normal speed though

[jaydendascooterfag]

that bike looks like a piece of shit

[ultraviolentrays]

hahaha, look at that shitty ramp, its like 20 ft wide, i cant believe he threw a 9 on that shit

[bikescooter93]

backflip 180 and flair are yes not the same but its in an air so yeah,it was called flair cause

fl-comes from flip and put that together with air,and it spells flair...its only called it backflip 180 if its fly-out....matt hoffman - no fear,and heres something i bet some people dont know,there is a vid of matt hoffman trying triple whip airs in im uessing the early 1990's,cause you can tell by the bike

[Wethepeople2000]

not a flair backflip 180 and flair are not the same

[justinscooter]

[gorgeoussteve]
