[driaslow]

@driaslow: hotsteeze is the shiz

[kingcamilo]

[MrAizulazuan]

Steve McCann lands the second ever no-handed 900 in comp history! X Games 17

[gakman41]

aha imma guess he woon gold?

[OllieL96]

@gakman41 I don't think he did actually :( Silver!

[gakman41]

@OllieL96 wtf...... doing a no handed 900 back then was likerunning the 100 m in 7 seconds i though it wouldnt matter bout his tricks after....

[OllieL96]

@gakman41 well it was 2002 and go on mat hoffman on wiki, it says "In 2001, Hoffman competed at the X Games, earning the Bronze Medal. He stunned the industry and fans, alike, when he set another record by successfully completing the first-ever No-handed 900 at the 2002 X Games, resulting in the Silver Medal."

Personally I think he shoulda won Gold

[OllieL96]

@gakman41 ps. I means it was the first ever! Mat Hoffman = God :P

[driaslow]

hell yea so fuckin buttery ass

[djwhokid742]

@boltactionkings true that

[boltactionkings]

holy shit

[smexxillama]

Wait did he get gold for this?

[r3s3t063]

@smexxillama No Mirra did. Hoffman was robbed.



[devidia]

how is that no handed? he just let his bike go for like 1 nanosecond. they need a different name for that because thats not 'no handed'

[temekisama]

@devidia are u fucking kidding right? do u imagine yourself in that quarter doing that? diferent name? its the best trick in the fucking world!!!! with the best rider!!!

[devidia]

@temekisama when you call something no handed,its supposed to be no handed all the way. no use in calling a 360 a 360 when you just do a 180,no? i didn't say it was a shitty trick, i just say that no handed isn't really a 100% correct name for this trick

[devidia]

@temekisama once again, i am not lacking any credit to the difficulty of the trick, i am just trying to say that a no-handed is not quit correct, more like a 900 with release

[eiriks1]

@devidia Let me guess: You don't ride BMX. Because that has to be the silliest argument against the name (!) of a trick I've heard in my almost 30 years of riding. Or do you mean to say that when a BMX rider does a regular no-hander (or no footer, or one hander), he's supposed to take his hands off before he takes off and keep them like that until landing for the name of the trick to be legit?And never mind that ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY RIDE AND ARE ABLE TO DO NO HANDED TRICKS call it that...

[devidia]

@eiriks1 i don't care what you think, the name is simply incorrect when you only release your stear for a fraction of a second. doesn't matter what everyone calls it, that doesn't make it right

[eiriks1]

@devidia You really should start hunting down and complaining about all the snowboard clips of riders not holding on to their boards all the way, even if the trick is called a "grab" of some kind. Or perhaps, I don't know start commenting on issues you actually have some knowledge about.

Btw, there's a BMX trick called the "Rocket Queen", and guess what? No rockets or queens in sight. Imagine that, not really caring about the minutia of trick name. Weird, huh?

[devidia]

@eiriks1 wow man,you're really taking this too seriously. you have to let the grab go eventually...

you go do some steer releases, i'll go do some no hands

[eiriks1]

@devidia I actually see your basic point if you want to nit pick stuff like this, but these types of trick names have been established in BMX (and skatebord and snowbord) since the beginning. Try searching for 360 or 540 no handers as well. You won't like it ;)

So it just feels really silly for a non-rider(?) to come in and bitch about these things, as it was never meant to be "accurate" in any form or way (which is one of the things I love about BMX, btw)

P.S: "Handlebars", not "steers".

[devidia]

@eiriks1 settled then

[GEORGEFLYER1]

chuck norris doesnt even have to touch the bike and it will do a 10000 degres turn

[airsoft4life5]

thumbs up if ur here cause of mccann

[MrCudda234]

hoffman 's was better than steve mccan's

no offence to mccan but hoffman's no hands was way longer

[temekisama]

@MrCudda234 1000000 better mr hoffman!!!!

[MrCudda234]

hoffman 's was better than steve mccan's

[TheWorldIsYoursxxX]

Steve McCann did it too

[bigwhyte57]

1 dislike;

how the fuck can you not like this?

[crackedframe]

mat hoffman can not be compared to anyone. untouched on so many levels

[matthewdelacruz15]

he didn't win gold? yeah but in tony hawk the first 900 went for gold, but this? the first no handed 900? he should have won gold

[soulonfire463]

He pulled it off like nothing every one was like wtf did I just miss? xD

[MossMr84]

Why didn't he win the gold that year?

That trick by itself should have won the gold.

[alejom]

mat, tony and travis!!! the best!!

[gsp1175]

Nine years later and no one else has matched this, or even attempted it as far as I know.

[Kickblckr]

and he only got a silver medal

[JoelScoots14]

what happend to gravity?

[eseperro213]

Eso es todo Hoffman!!! Ahuevo!!!

Tu inventastes BMX!

[Opolache]

@eseperro213 si cabron Mat Hoffman es el padre del BMX!

[pas7680]

out of all the xgames moments, this is the best - purely because he just threw it down without telling anyone in advance.

[VashRocks12349]

the one person that disliked this video is jamie bestwick.

[iz0nat0r]

It made my cry

[crazymuthafucka14]

im surprised his tires didn't pop after how low he landed lol

[Caboose2214]

There is no one better in the history of bmx then Matt Hoffman!

[knuckels334]

XGames. Its not about winning, its doin your best and watchin your frends do their best.

[apanhaesta]

he is the man...epic moment

[mrrunescapeisme]

woah i didnt my mom was this good.

[synemon]

@mrrunescapeisme go play runescape faggot

[vandread106]

i was like "OMFG NO WAY" when i saw him do that

[ilikepie716]

[muska34]

@ilikepie716 you obviously have no friends

[ilikepie716]

gay at 49 seconds

[jaySkit0and0chondlar]

@ilikepie716 duh u retard two guys hugging after something amazing like that isnt gay

[theshredordie12]

Thats Jesus on a bike

[DaFrezhPrince]

Matt is legend but my fav is Simon Tabron...why isnt his back-to-back 900s on here...everyone should remember that

[LonelyBEARHug]

who's the retard that disliked this?

[proregeRotzak]

@LonelyBEARHug I don't know why but I Loll'ed when I saw that there was really 1 guy who disliked this video

[eseperro213]

@LonelyBEARHug

Thats what I'm saying.

[shabyyy]

@LonelyBEARHug Tony Hawk

[cheese22216]

why are his bars so far forward?? wtf

[3rdDegr33Burn]

@cheese22216 from the 900 his bars were reg. and then they got messed up

[ckelnhofer]

jnfre

trlkoktrolkortkglfk

[MarsupialJones]

The great thing was that there was no build up to it at all (unlike when tony hawk did the 900). hoffman just threw it out of nowhere in th emiddle of a run.

[ramriez713]

it suck balls



[sleightyproductions]

love the dude that just slides in backwards down the half pipe to hug mat

[Goldtacto]

pfffft it was only no handed for 360 degrees i can do that *sarcastic*

[TrashCanSchool]

ahhh yeah! now that's one trick that really competes with skating...let's see anyone do a 'variation on a 900' skateboard wise..(i mean, it can be done) but uh...what? ' 900 varial? 900 one foot? 900 varial flip? ..900 shove it varial? '...someone is going to top that..idunno i <3 matt hoffman. 

[dbspaceoditty]

0:39 mirra shit him self

[JusticePetitioner]

And he made it look so simple

[SuperFallensk8]

wow, i have the same 900 bmx bike

[FREESK8HAPPY2]

dont u have to land backwards in a 9

[b1gtym1n]

@FREESK8HAPPY2 a 900 is 2 and a half full spins so if he starts the 900 facing vert, he will finish it riding back towards the other wall, if it was a 720 or 1080 he would have to ride backwards out of it

[flavordave73]

he was always the show buster. Balls my friend. Balls.

[flavordave73]

he was always the show buster. Balls my friend. Balls.

[Tynon95]

hes black.

[Tynon95]

hes black.

[robseven7]

Dope.

[Tnesjed]

WOW!!! so inspiring matt hofman is. that was insane!!

[easternbud]

@omgitshideous tony landed the 900 in 1999 but yea hoffman still landed the first vert bike 900

[NickTheBeast2010]

he's a BEAST

[Jeremyfox43921]

[Jeremyfox43921]

[DawnPeez]

Matt Hoffman is a LEGEND... The Condor will always have our respect. Unreal..

[hollyholk]

still the best tric i ever seen donr i dont think ne one else hase done it or just has to much respect for hoffman to do it

[Bmx33606]

Why did ESPN cut out so much of his run? There was more to it after his bike was fixed.

[pb0o6]

i like how he just keeps ridin and doin tricks after he's done like the best trick ever

[4jkendall]

[neighbor]

Hoffman was one of the first to do hand rails on street... fyi...

[drmilktruck]

[slvrbmx12]

mat hoffman is the best bmx rider you can be

[JoeC7711]

never liked dave mirra, hoffman all the way, and yea he isnt dead he is just getting older.

[snoops8200]

matt hoffman go!!!

[jeffdunhamfan9]

i was there when it happened, i was only 5 but i remember walking in to find him in the air spinning like a madman

[iDrum37]

my personal favorites:

MATT HOFFMAN

DANIEL DHERS

CHAD KAGY

[zebrpenguin]

wat about mike spinner?

[iDrum37]

@zebrpenguin are you kidding me? hes awesome, maybe in the top 10, but no way top 3. also, why does everyone hate chad kagy, he does cooler tricks than bestwick

[zebrpenguin]

@iDrum37 really? he did the first 1080, quad tailwhip, and 720 double tailwhip

[iDrum37]

@zebrpenguin so? amazing tricks, not in my top 3. brett banaseiwicz, 14 years old, did a triple tailwhip and had time to spare for the landing.

wow im becoming one of the douchebags i hate...

[zebrpenguin]

@iDrum37 i guess ur right

[goteks613]

@zebrpenguin mice spinner did that

[urworstnightmare777]

i love x games announcers. they get so into it and make watching these old videos that much better

[myluckyday20]

awesome. and hes hot too

[omgitshideous]

i remember seeing this, and the whole crowd acting like "what's mat still doing here? i thought he retired last year" and then he brought this out. classic moment.

[bodom578]

god i remember watching this live when it happened....even recorded it....on a VCR lol man how times have changed...

[KingVirmire]

Dave Mirra

Ryan Nyquist

Matt Hoffman

My fav BMX riders

[bmxdude114]

that is awesome

[downawang23]

dave mirra came to the skate park by my house 3 years ago

[NewLineBrent]

Remember, that was 7 years ago. and pretty sure a 900 on a bike is harder than a board. Both difficult nonetheless.

[ryanking909780]

i think kevin robinsons double flare makes hoffman look like nothing....would you agree?..remember i love hoffmans style though

[iDrum37]

@ryanking909780, do your fucking research, you have no idea what mat hoffman has given to the sport of bmx. he invented:

1) the flair

2) the tailwhip

3) the highest air ever

4) never died

5) never will (he isnt human, just so you know)

[ryanking909780]

@iDrum37

baaaahhh....there are much better riders than hoffman...you know,the ones who dont go on jackass to get notariety.

[iDrum37]

@ryanking909780 just because he appears on jackass and/o nitro circus and is friends with them doesnt mean that he gave any less to bmx and ist as great and lengendary of a rider

[boberenio]

matt hoffman is the greatest bmx rider tht has ever lived no one can top him

[iDrum37]

@boberenio, see, you understand!!

[goteks613]

dave mirra

[supaflylaxman]

u kidding? since dave started riding in the x-games he dominated, hell he took gold five years straight, not to mention the double back flip

[iDrum37]

@supaflylaxman mat hoffman

1. invented the flare

2. invented the tailwhip

3. has the highest air on bmx

and this

[Bowman88]

kevin robinson has highest air...

[omgitshideous]

i think he was also the first person to do a 900 on vert in any of the action sports. mat landed his well before tony did it on a skateboard, and before most of the inliners.

[gamez]

Not sure how serious your post is.. But you do realise that this was 7 years ago.

[generalares]

Its supposed to be like a top 15 of the X Games, you know, Mos memorable moments. In my opinion, pretty worth remembering.

[watermelon4]

they can actually do a trick with skill, that's why they cheer

[Rockyo987]

That was AWESOME!! Especially coming outta retirement to do it!

[Fochiznut21]

Matt Hoffman and Dave Mirra are in my eyes the best bikers i've seen so far

[xxbnagyxx]

Ryan Nyquist is up there too

[xxpepperxx]

jamie bestwick has to be in there he fuck up dave mirra even though i like dave more and not jamie
