Editorial Reviews

In 1985, at the tender age of 13, Mat Hoffman entered into the BMX circuit as an amateur, and by 16 he had risen to the professional level. In this ESPN® Films 30 for 30: The Birth of Big Air DVD, Academy Award® nominee Spike Jonze and extreme sport fanatic Johnny Knoxville, along with director Jeff Tremaine, showcase the storied career of a man whose motivations stem purely from his own ambitions.

I bought this tape for my son for Christmas. He was big into BMX bikes. He really enjoyed the film. It brought back a lot of memories and he even remembers meeting some of the people in the film. I would recommend it for anyone that is into riding and jumping bikes!

Mat Hoffman is the man for a reason. The flying Condor that soars higher than ANYONE in self-powered extreme sports!

A must see for any BMX fan of any nature, and for those who don't know a lot about freestyle bmx, there's a whole history. Including NEW interviews from Bob Haro.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are a BMXer and you don't have this yet, get it., September 16, 2010

This is a bargain priced remarkable piece of BMX history. If you ride a BMX bike and love what is happening with this sport, you owe thanks to Mat. Buy his video biography. It has all of his winning x-games vert finals as bonus footage, and they are as Jaw-dropping Awe-inspiring to watch as Mat's attempts to challenge gravity on a BMX bike.
