Mat Hoffman has teamed up with artist Chris Shary to do a limited batch of t-shirts utilizing a portrait that Chris drew! The shirt ended up turning out rad, so they’re going to be printing up to 500 of these bad boys for you to get your hands on them. You can get the shirt over on the Bifocal Media website to pre-order one now for $21! More info below.
“Mat Hoffman is a fearless, innovative, legend in the world of 20 inch bike riding. Mat was the first person I saw do a handrail on a bike. He did the first flip fakie. He created the standard for vert riding and he ruled vert for over a decade. I saw him try a tailwhip back flip on dirt in the early 90s when both flips and tailwhips were considered nearly impossible tricks. In 1992 Mat built a 20 ft quarter pipe and had a friend tow him with a motorcycle so he could set a world record (going over 20 ft out on a 20 ft ramp). When corporations abandoned BMX in the early 90s, Mat stepped in and founded one of the first rider owned bike companies. He also started an underground contest series that was pretty much the only game in town until he worked with ESPN to bring the sport back into the mainstream with the X-Games. BMX is a powerful, creative, badass, expressive, individual lifestyle and Mat Hoffman is BMX.
It’s hard to fully express how excited we are to have worked with Mat and punk art legend Chris Shary (he’s a whole other long winded paragraph) on this shirt. Thanks guys!
LIMITED TO 500. THIS IS A PRE-ORDER. SHIRTS WILL SHIP BY THE THIRD WEEK IN JANUARY.”
