In 1985, at the tender age of 13, Mat Hoffman entered the BMX circuit as an amateur, and by 16 he had risen to the professional level. Throughout his career, Hoffman has ignored conventional limitations and focused his efforts on the purity of the sport and the pursuit of the next big thing. He is motivated purely by 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 sports fanatic Johnny Knoxville, along with director Jeff Tremaine, showcase the inner workings and exploits of the man who gave birth to “big air.” Please note: This movie is fun for kids, but it does contain a short scene that may disturb the squeamish.

Jeff Tremaine is the film and television producer/director who, along with Spike Jonze and Johnny Knoxville, created MTV’s Jackass. He also served as executive producer and co-creator of Wildboyz and executive producer and co-creator of Rob and Big. He directed music videos for Turbonegro, Andrew W.K., and the Sahara Hotnights.
