- VICE correspondent Johnny Knoxville takes us to meet modern-day Evel Knievel, Mat Hoffman. More than any other figure in BMX riding, Hoffman's responsible for the the popularity of big air tricks, hence the title of Spike Jonze's documentary about Mat, The Birth of Big Air. Despite breaking over 20 bones and getting his arm shattered to bits by a semi-truck, Mat continues to bike harder and invent wilder tricks than anyone else in the business-all to the deep concern/chagrin of his doctors, who considered his career finished after the accident.

They say dont meet your legends, but I would give my right arm to give that man a hug. the joy not only him but every single soul in action sports from the late 90s to late 2000s has given me is immeasurable and deserves infinite praise
I feel like not many people know about the semi-truck thing. To go through that alone would have been incredible, but add in all the other injuries and the fact that this dude STILL drop-kicks boundaries in the face, and you get a truly super-human story. Hail the Condor, may the Miracle Boy fly in peace and Love to all BMX!
That last sentence really brought a tear to my eye.
Yes. This footage is all one big coagulated miracle. So inspiring
legit got chills reading this. those dudes and BMX as a whole is life.
Yeah man & Dave Mirra got hit by a car also which gave him depression I'm thinking .
If you were a youth during the 90s then Matt Hoffman was a main Man for inspiration for skaters and BMXers alike.
Yes
I was in 98 I was 6
Yes he defo was and tony hawks and Dave Mira aswell bam magera too
I will never understand how Hoffman is not completely addicted to painkillers. One of the toughest dudes ever.
Matt Hoffman pro bmx
ps2
nostalgic
All day. Loved that shit
That was ps1
James Brankin it was released in 2002 m8
@@kid4375 damn didn't even know they made a second one
"And what am I doing? Just lugging beer up this hill" dead 😲😲😲😲
PS Matt did die twice from this jump, he hooked a weedwacker to his bmx to get more speed and crashed on landing and ruptured his spleen and his blood pressure dropped and his heart stopped twice. He also has gotten his knee drilled through and through with no anesthesia or nothing and had his ligaments replaced all on nothing. That’s the definition of gnarly
Maybe he’s addicted to the pain
RIP Dave Mirra
Edit: Drinking game time: Take a shot every time Mat says "Go for it"
Just watching home suit up to ride makes me wonder how much pain he's in every morning when he wakes up. But he keeps getting up and keeps going and going. Well done! From one bmxer to another you're a legend!
Matt , you are why BMX is where it's at today, that bowl is no joke , you've got balls brother
you know you're fucking gnarly when early 2000s knoxville is saying hes nervous
Glad his story is being told. I saw him ride a few times back in the day...amazing legend.
Check out ESPN's 30 for 30 on Mat. He certainly revolutionized the sport
thank you for giving me some inspiration to go out and ride
how is this not big! this is so cool. its kinda cool to be one of the only people to know about this documentary
You’re so cool 😎
Grew up watching this guy and the miracle boy Mirrah. What an epic human being!
Yeah!!!!! I grew up in the classics 80’s as a youth when the freestyle bicycle tricks BMX was alive and large at heart entering the whole world 🌎 🌍 with an invasion. 😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽missed the old day’s of freestyle BMX bicycle 🚲
R.i.p. Dave Mirra
Ty good man. Miracle man will live on!
Matt Hoffman your my hero and a true Inspiration to all of us especially me
When you can add "died twice" to your list of injuries,
you're a gd legend in my book.
Hoffman was the man back in the day
Mat came to my school when I was a kid and pogo'd over me that was the coolest f'n thing I'd ever witness.
Great guys great edit..
i thought my mind was blown after his knee surgery but his explanation of that floating collar bone solidified hes the terminator sent back with settings on vert ramp algebra.
"i need your clothes your boots and your bmx"
Knoxville brings the Yoda figure, lugging beer up the hill, ha
The Condor Matt OG Hoffman. Mad props.
Tuffest Man in Sports.
This video is awesome, but I think my favorite part is how he it putting his bike together with a crescent wrench.
@J. L. Legit too lazy to find the right wrench lol.. All crescent wrenches are good for is stripping bolts. In a machine shop, that's a dead giveaway for being a noob.
So true. He was/is a mad man in the best possible way.
We need a series like epically later'd but for BMX episodes about influencial pro riders. So many amazing individuals 👌
The man is a legend.
just lugging beer up the hill😂😂😂thats me at the trails nowdays😂
Great people. Love and miss yall, god bless.
Matt thank you for all the blessings, please take it easy on your body brother.
Peace.
The Godfather. "Legend" is a damn understatement.
don't change Matt - wonderful
That’s incredible
He is the raddest of all time.
Lmao Johnny Knoxville made this video 10x better
This is so rad. I couldn't stop smiling. Stoked level is high!
I remember reading comics about this guy, he changed bmxing
i feel like mat is the bob ross of getting beat with an iron bar. "im just gonna leave my dislocated hip down in the corner while i smile at you politely and excel at the highest tier of a crrazy hard sport thst i pioneered".. after thought. its truly mind boggling what ahuman can achieve if they are free to do what they are passionate about
Matt Hoffman was a head of his time and the OG of BMX
I love that Mat calls Johnny PJ.
Go Matt..friggin.legend !!!!!
Such a legend of the sport
Pure inspiration
LEGEND.
thank you
watching vids like this makes me want to ride.
This is brilliant. Mat you have been an inspiration to me and riders everywhere! Although I would probably stop after my collar bone wasn't attached to anything haha.
My hero!
Three months later & still only up to 1,148 views for some epic air BMX jumps THEY need to keep replugging the classic old stuff! I like that Jonny Knoxville has to transfer his beer from the nice cold bottle to a room temperature jelly jar that he is used to drinking his moon shine out off!
Dude amazing
respect the legend
A 360 with one arm... unreal Matty, Honour I road a Dirty 130
go devils
Legend
Awesome! What a mindset!
Yes
You know your nuts when Johnny Knoxville says he’s worried about you
Mat Hoffman in the house.
This man is a God. No questions asked.
I know this guy personally I’m best friends with his son Jhett Hoffman
"He would never ride again" again like for the 12th time because he is protected like no one
I can't be the only one that didn't know that Johnny Knoxville worked for vice?
Rider?? Hoffman is a fucking Legend.
Hopefully he doesn't have the same fate as Mirra. The Condor is legend.
thedjartillery Yea Man... He took some Good Slammerz...
Damn that was a tragedy 🙏🏽
100 plus concussions holy shit the state of this guys brain
when VICE was still respectable...
He owns a huge BMX company. Fits his pedals with a little adjustable wrench.
Johnny Knoxville is so entertaining he almost nullifies the necessity of a pro bmx legend.
Got the same shoulder problem. The strappy thingie mat wore to protect his shoulder from dislocating, anyone can tell me how is this equipment called?
I got some pretty gnarly scars from biking, stopped after i got impaled in my torso. But all good now.
Matt Hoffman legend
Did the doctor tell him that he will never ride again.. or did the doctor say that if he rode his bike again it would be stupid? I'm thinking it was more likely the latter..
What's with the yoda please?? Love it?? It like for good luck??
Makes my stomach turn watching him crash every time. Party on Mat.
ride a bmx & love life! or just ride a bike. it's good exercise. good for the environment
Best ramp rider ever. I'm afraid he has CTE now and the result will be a much shorter life but fuck man, Mat rules! Would like more info on the semi accident?
I didn't know that he got hit by a semi!!!
Mat! Stem cells dude! Let's grow back some of those muscles back. Do a GoFundMe or any other fundraising platform. You're worth it!
Dave mirra dont forget the golden boy
If so one doesn’t know the Kings of big air then there living under a rock.
that's fucking insane
Show Mat
i hope this man has fathered a whole clan of badasses.
Awesome
The real reason this is amazing is that he's riding converse
Hey can anyone tell what song is playing at 11:30 in the Head First video? trying to find out for like 20 years now...I know fromthe credits that the band's name is MALICIOUS..
Bmx power Haro bike peace Man
And here I am, terrified to even try a 180...... God I'm such a pussy. lol.

Wow!! Just wow!!
