Mat “Condor” Hoffman Mat Hoffman embodies the true spirit of innovator. An icon in the sport of BMX Freestyle, Hoffman invented more than 100 revolutionary tricks and is, without question, the greatest Vert-ramp rider in the history of the sport. Hoffman’s unparalleled accomplishments as a rider are equaled by his success in the business world. By the age of 20, Hoffman started both Hoffman Promotions (now the Hoffman Sports Association) and Hoffman Bikes – two companies instrumental in building the sport of BMX Freestyle to the stature it is today. Hoffman is also highly regarded as a producer and director of several television series including “Mat Hoffman’s Evel Knievel Tribute” (for MTV) and “Kids in the Way,” “HBtv,” and “Mat’s World” (for ESPN). He has also made appearances or performed in films such as all the Jackass films; “Keep Your Eyes Open,” produced by Tamra Davis and starring Spike Jonze; the Imax film “Ultimate X”: and “Triple X.” A documentary featuring Hoffman’s tenacious quest for high air, entitled “The Birth of Big Air,” directed and produced by Jeff Tremaine, Johnny Knoxville, Spike Jonze and Hoffman, himself, was released July 2010 on ESPN. “Mat Hoffman’s Aggro Circus” is the highly acclaimed action sports show created by Hoffman for Universal Studios in Orlando, FL, and has been rated it’s most popular show in history for multiple years. Hoffman still enjoys riding and dreaming up new ways to test danger with favorite pastimes like skydiving, paragliding and paramotoring. Only Hoffman knows what the future holds. As he said during his speech at the Action Sports and Music Awards, accepting the Lifetime Achievement Award, “I feel like I’m just getting started. Here’s to tomorrow.” mathoffman hoffmanbikes instagram/condorbmx twitter/CondorBMX
