Here’s a Throw Back Thursday worth seeing! Now through June 5th, Mat Hoffman will be uploading over sections from the CFB contests from back in the day for us to enjoy! I know all you old guys checking this out will be stoked. I definitely advise some of you younger guys to take a peek at these since there’s A LOT of history behind how BMX is done these days from these contests! This first one from the Merritt Island contest back in 2000 is an hour of pure BMX goodness!
“Pro Competitions: CFB Merritt Island FL, air date: 4.21.00
Vert, Park, Dirt, Flatland
Another Perspective:
True Street Riding
How to transform anyplace into a dirt mecca (9th Street)
Hanging with Evel Knievel
1. CFB Merrit Island FL 2- 24/27.00
Every Thursday from today ‘til the X Games in Austin (June 5th (11 weeks)) I’m going to share a free download of one of the episodes of the Crazy Freakin Biker Contests Series between 2000 and 2004. Each one is about an hour, so pull up a chair, or get some friends together and check out some of the greatest BMX moments, history and heart that help defined our lives and influenced who we are.
This CFB goes back to 2.24/27.00 at the Paradise Funplex in Merrit Island FL. The Pro Contest are Vert, Park, Dirt and Flatland. I also I made some other features between the contests to show what our sport looks like outside of competitions and called it “Another Perspective”. Those sections in this episode are “True Street Riding”, “How to transform anyplace into a dirt jump Mecca (9th street)” and “Hanging with Evel Knievel”.
peace, love, bmx!” -Mat Hoffman
