Finally – Mat Hoffman is being honoured by a documentary that covers his legendary status and contributions not just in BMX Freestyle but for extreme sports in general.  I kind of feel like although he’s revered by most people who know about bike riding, he doesn’t always receive the wider recognition that he so badly deserves.  Hopefully this will help set the record straight.

Mat is awesome as shit, so we decided to make a movie about him.

I’m super stoked on the trailer, right from the opening with Fugazi and of course Tony Hawk this seems like it’ll be spot-on.  Can’t wait.

This sounds cool, can remember when he was at backyard jam, good old days

Yeah, that was a great year. I think we missed most of his riding though as we would have been sessioning those trails in Eastbourne…
