Mat Hoffman doing a BMX demo at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival
The Birth of Big Air details the life and career of BMX athlete Mat Hoffman. In 1985, at the tender age of 13, Hoffman entered into the BMX circuit as an amateur, and by 16 he had risen to the professional level. Throughout his storied career, Hoffman has ignored conventional limitations, instead, focusing his efforts on the purity of the sport and the pursuit of “what’s next.”
I had the privilege of speaking with director Jeff Tremaine, producer Johnny Knoxville and Mat Hoffman at the Tribeca Film Festival. Please check out the interview video and trailer below to learn more about this impressive documentary.
