Matt Hoffman  (born January 9, 1972) is a BMX rider considered one of the best vert ramp riders in the history of the sport. He is nicknamed "The Condor" and owns the BMX Freestyle brand Hoffman Bikes, based out of Oklahoma City.

In 1987, Hoffman entered the freestyle BMX circuit as an amateur at the age of 15. At age 15, he was the youngest pro rider in the sport. An article in Ride magazine wrote, "What's left to say about a guy who ignored all established limits and redefined vert riding - at age 37."

At an early age he had several lucrative sponsorships, including SKYWAY Bicycles, one of the top manufacturers in the 1980's.

Matt'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 just over 50' 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.

Hoffman has invented, by far, the most tricks in BMX with the invention of more than 100 revolutionary tricks like the 900 (two and a half rotations); 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.

Hoffman is responsible for building the sport for decades, providing support to the biggest names in the industry, including Dave Mirra, Jay Miron, Kevin Robinson, Chad Kagy, Seth Kimbrough, Taj Mahelich, Brad Simms, Anthony Napolitan, Mike Escamilla, Rick Thorne, Day Smith, Art Thomason and many more.

The growth of Hoffman Promotions gave birth to the Hoffman Sports Association (H.S.A.), which is the organizing body for Freestyle BMX events worldwide, such as ESPN's highly coveted X Games and all international X Games bicycle stunt events. Hoffman and his team were also selected to take part in the closing ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, Ga., in a production called "Sport as Art." In 1999, H.S.A. developed Mat Hoffman's Crazy Freakin' Bikers Series (CFB), which provides amateur and professional Freestyle bikers a venue in which they can compete. Not only does the H.S.A. promote, organize and host the series, but it also produces all the television programming for the CFB Series, which is aired on ESPN2.

The H.S.A. organizes BMX Freestyle portions of annual U.S. and international events, including the X Games and all international X Games qualifiers. The year 2005 marked the 14th consecutive year of competition production for Hoffman Promotions.

Despite the numerous injuries and 16 total operations, he has never stopped challenging himself. In 2001, Hoffman competed at the X Games, earning the Bronze Medal. He stunned the industry and fans, alike, when he set another record by successfully completing the first-ever No-handed 900 at the 2002 X Games, resulting in the Silver Medal.

He was highly successful Tony Hawk's Boom Boom Huck Jam in 2002, 2003 and 2005 tours. Hoffman was the first person to ride an over-sized ("Big") ramp in 1993 with his first High Air attempt off of a 24-foot quarter pipe. When Hoffman achieved 50.6 feet above the ground in March 2001, he had a team of four professional photographers, an elaborate scaffolding system to record the attempt at different angles and had an ABC Wide World Of Sports camera crew on-site, as well.

In 2005, Matt was elected the President of the International BMX Freestyle Federation, the international governing body of BMX Freestyle - a partner with Union Cyclists International (UCI), the bicycle governing body for the International Olympic Committee.

Hoffman continues to produce numerous BMX Freestyle competitions and Action Sports demos across the worl
