A painful reminder that no matter how much you splash on swanky bike bling, some dude who now has replacement knees was rocking more steeze in pink and purple lycra than you ever will when you were but a hormonal mess.

hoffman is probably the most amazing rider ever. he brought the sport so much more forward than any other rider. he even risked his live for it and almost lost it once.

ummm...you do realize that Brian was a pro BMX rider for 20 yrs before MTB's even existed right ?

oops sorry didn't realize you were only 17. Almost all of the original MTB greats were BMX pro's Brian Lopes, Mikey King, John Tomac, Tinker Juarez... and many of the original freeride MTB guys were all BMX pro's first too.

This is amazing! and even better I have ridden with Tod Lyons. My older brother used to know him somewhat when we lived in Ohio. Dude was insane, He had a pimped out 65 Impalla, fuzzy dice and all.

how can you even say that, it's from ninety-five, and this is far from sketchy
I want to see if you can do better on a bike like that.

I cant help but feel a little somethings been lost since this pioneering golden age.
Anyone else feel this way ?
Its like they were the Jimi Hendrix's of cycling.
