Summary

Mat Hoffman is a BMX legend-- inventor of over 100 tricks, 10-time World Champion, X Games icon, and keeper of the fire when the BMX scene was nearly extinct. Driven by curiosity, creativity, and amazing bike control, Mat was willing to try harder and fly higher than anyone. With a medical hit list that includes dozens of broken bones, concussions, and multiple comas--some assume Hoffman has a death wish. But actually, it's a life wish: to find out what's possible on a BMX bike.
