Can you remember the time that only five riders were progressing the sport? Mat Hoffman was one of them and yes, his body has paid the price. The new Hoffman video runs you through Mat’s injuries (also see the bonus section) and he’s not the only one pushing the limit. The Hoffman crew has dealt with some serious injuries on the way to another finished DVD production. Bas Keep broke a thumb, Ryan Barrett shattered his right elbow, Kevin Robinson got carried off the dirt jumps on a backboard, Mat himself

visited a shady hospital or two, Will Love fucked up his knee, Napolitan has a draining hole in his finger and Seth Kimbrough’s phone call to the boss didn’t sound too good either. But most of the riders had been filming for a bit or got to work right after so they still have a part.

The Hoffman team has at least 5 rides on their team that are pushing the limit on a daily basis. How times have changed. Anthony Napolitan didn’t win the 2006 Dew Tour by putting old stuff together in his dirt runs. Same goes for Kevin Robinson on vert. Welcome to Woodward’s foam pit and resi sections. But it’s not only the big names that are pushing the level.

Brad Simms is amazing. He takes it to the streets and over toothpick 180-s big rails. If this doesn’t make sense right now you will understand when you see the video. Nick Kirkland, Mark Potoczny, Jon Taylor, Jeremy Infelise and Zack Warden have sections each that are well worth your time (and money) but Seth Kimbrough’s part is bad-ass. Example: bank to wallride 540 on a parked truck. Nuts.

The Bonus section had me laugh out loud a couple of times, especially the part of the British duo of the Hoffman crew that went to Madrid for a night to party on Red Bull’s tab. Other bonus parts are: Shanghai Showdown, Slideshow, Flying High, Leftover Clips, No Pain No Gain and the Broke Off Trailer.

Hoffman Bikes have come a long way. They took BMX through the bad times. Show your respect, buy the Broke Off DVD.
