Mat Hoffman

In 1985, at the tender age of 13, Mat 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.” His motivations stem purely from his own ambitions, and even without endorsements, cameras, fame and fans, Hoffman would still be working to push the boundaries of gravity. Academy Award nominee Spike Jonze and extreme sport fanatic Johnny Knoxville, along with director Jeff Tremaine, will showcase the inner workings and exploits of the man who gave birth to “Big Air.”

The Circus is joined by BMX legend Mat Hoffman and Angels pitcher Ervin Santana. The cast gets launched 100 feet into the air as human cannonballs, Travis wing-walks with no parachute, no harness, and no second second chances. Also available on iTunes

In water, on land, and in the air -- even while on vacation, the Nitro Circus never rests as sports legends Parks Bonifay and Mat Hoffman join the cast at Travis Pastrana's Texas lakefront getaway. Whether it's hydroplaning a motorcycle, drifting prestige cars or dangling from helicopter skids, this adrenaline-fueled crew never stops pushing the limit -- or each other.
