Mat Hoffman
Mat's resume includes taking his bike base-jumping off 3,500-foot Norwegian cliffs and, in 2002, setting the record for the highest assisted "air" on a bicycle, when he rose 26'6" above a 24' ramp, reaching 50'6" (approx. 16 metres) above the ground. This feat was listed in the 2004 Guinness Book of World Records and there were no attempts to break the record for several years until Kevin Robinson soared 54-feet into the air, 27' above the ramp in New York City's Central Park on June 12, 2008. Hoffman also assisted Robinson in his feat of breaking his own record. Unfortunately, as this attempt was sponsored by a large drinks manufacturer, and set up in Central Park NYC, when they realised he wasn't really going to break the record they measured from the top of his head at 27 feet, rather than the lowest point of the bike which Hoffman's was measured from.
Hoffman has invented, by far, the most tricks in BMX with the invention of more than 100 revolutionary tricks like the 900; Flip fakie (backflip which includes landing backwards); and Flair (backflip with a 180 degree turn).
Hoffman has been a key player in building the sport of BMX Freestyle. He developed the Bicycle Stunt (BS) Series to give riders a place to compete and showcase their talents. The enormous success of the BS Series inevitably attracted the attention of ESPN, which joined forces with Hoffman Promotions in 1995 to produce and televise the series each year.More" target="_blank">http://www.mathoffman.com/">More
