ESPN's 30 for 30 - "The Birth of Big Air" --- Mat Hoffman

[47straight]

I'm not an X-Games/BMX whatever fan, but this is a great show.

What a great Okie.

On the Jason Ellis Show Friday they were talking about Mat. If you look at what he was doing in the early 90's, and what they (the rest of BMX riders) do, and how he still stands as the best.

Definitely interesting, they had Mat on earlier in the week and he is just one of those guys who gets it. Understands the sport and how it looks.

This is definitely up there for ESPN films, probably in the top 3 for me. Straight Out of L.A. was my favorite, but I'm still waiting the one on Dupree.

And it was great seeing all of the video footage in HD. Highly recommend to anyone

Hoffman is mf'n man. Football players wish they were as tough as that crazy okie.
I was wondering if anyone else around here heard that badass interview he did with Ellis.
