The fact that mirra was so happy to see his competitor execute an impossible move in direct competition shows the character of the man. No more demons Dave, but we miss you bud.
I remember watching this live. I was sitting on the floor in my living room doing my homework on the coffee table. When he landed that No Handed 9, I freaked out. Even my dad, who knew nothing about BMX was going crazy. It still gives me goosebumps watching it.
Someone post mirras first run, I remember being there in person as a kid and his first run was absolutely off the charts. Best I’ve ever seen to this day
The only time miracle boy ever lost...rip Dave. Matt...you just absolutely crushed it thank you for being a dear friend to Dave and such an amazing competitor. You guys drived the sport and made it what it is. As a kid that grew up in upstate NY I am so fucking proud to have met you both....Fly high Hoffman!!
Matt Hoffman's gnar went even beyond BMX. His giant motorbike assisted quarter pipe antics inspired Danny way and Bob burnquist in skateboarding, something which eventually resulted in megaramp being a staple of X games. I think that it's also possible that the whole sport of FMX might not exist without Mat. He sort of invented and created the expectation of really big air at contests. Before Mat ramps were tiny. Just look at Mats world first flair for an example. Done at a contest , the ramp was as narrow as a modern box jump. Inspiration also goes the other way round. BMX street & park over the past 8 years or so has been heavily inspired by street skateboarding.
I was 18 years old when this went down. I watched this live. This brings back so many good memories. Amazing stuff. I still have my BMX bikes in the shed too. Makes me want to get out and ride. I have 4 kids to teach BMX to now. 👍 God bless!
That was the best time in BMX .. All the godfathers of BMX just firing back and forth at each other until the contest ends and they are all still the best of friends afterwards¡! I love it and always will¡!
In the bmx world we are competitive but we are all friends at the same time we push each other to be the best at what we do and thats what makes bmx a excellent sport to get into
Matt the condor Hoffman and Dave Mirra are the 2 main riders that put this sport where it is today,I grew up watching them,we would ride and try to mimic what we watched in there video's,well they were pro's and we were scrub's.thanks for the memories
Fun day .I’m the same age as Dave I was in the stands watching these guys changing bmx forever..generation x made all these sports what they are today..we changed the entire culture from music ,gaming ,sports too even clothes ..
I bought a Haro blammo as a teenager and idolised Dave Mirra. When Dave Mirra bmx2 came out oni took a few days off of work just to play it. R.I.P DAVE MIRRA
Gives me goose bumps can’t beat the good old days in 90s and naughties seeing the ps2 banner in the back only seems like it was yesterday rip Dave Mirra wish I could go back to that era was the best !

Nesta época eu da periferia de Manaus não tinha em minha casa parabólica ou tv por assinatura, tinhamos um amigo criado por uma senhora milionária em Manaus que na massão dele ele gravava todo ano o x games numa fita VHS e toda galarea se reunia na casa de sua mãe humilde para assistir, aquilo era incrivel. a cada versão eu saia como louco na minha bike querendo fazer isso
Makes me so proud to be a 21yr long bmxer started in 91. My 2 favourite riders ever. R.i.p mirra, you are missed. And props to dennis McCoy still shredding it at 52, i am half dead from riding.
I remember watching this as a youth I had these dudes posters all over my bedroom walls , me and my best mate both had Hoffman’s wen we were at school some of the best times of my life was bmx-ing!
Es increible lo brutal que era el bmx antes. Todos los trucos los ejecutaban con una limpieza que hoy en día no existe... hoy en día cualquiera es bueno en bmx con una bici que pesa lo que una pluma... antes se hacían estas cosas con bicis que pesaban mas de 25kg. Verdaderos maestros!
Asi es bro. Yo tambn comence con una pesada con aros huffy de cromo y esos cuadros gt vertigo ahora tengo una con cuadro cult vielas de 2 piesas en resumen pesa la mitad de la anterior.y a eso sumale que antes uno progresaba sin nisiquiera tener un park ni youtbe solo habian videos en vhs
Watching kevin robinson hug matt and help with the bike was rough man dave and kevin rest in peace. I skateboard but back then you just had a genuine love for xtreme sports we really watched and respected it all. Much love guy's
Estaba viendo la repeticion de bmx vert xgames 2018.....la verdad el nivel de espectacularidad de estos años nunca sera superada por los chicos de hoy en dia
Man crazy to think it was these guys that got me on bmx later switched to mtb but this is where it all started need to get myself a bmx not riden one for years
Hace poco vi un video en Facebook de Hoffman haciendo ese mismo truco en el 89 y la rompió toda, pensé que desde aquí lo había hecho pero salió más impresionante hacer éste truco en el 89, bastante adelantado a la época
if your old enough to remember,Hoffman was untouchable forever,the first 900 in waterloo. BMX wasn't as popular as it is now so everything was a lot more grassroots Hoffman kept this sport alive,but your %100 right Bestwick is a serious contender for the greatest of all time,honestly there's a handful of guys that are just unbelievable and the tricks are insane Byron,coco,Tabron mirra Wilkerson,mcoy Miron just to name a few all incredible riders but for me HOFFMAN will always be king of vert,and I'm just glad that there's still VERT comps so thanks XGAMES.
OUTLAW712 im still a bit young at 25yrs but theres no doubt Hoffman and mirra are practically bmx godfathers / inventors. What blows me away is bestwicks consistency and his age. Its freaking inspirational
what a sad remember kevin and dave are out of this world, real dreamers, real BMX SPIRIT , real BMX INSPIRATION, this guys move and inspire all new entire generation over the world doing the best they can do !!! being themselves as the badases they were !! NEVER FORGET I personally think we are lucky to still have the CONDOR walking this world !!! this is the legendary bmx roots !!!
These runs back in Mirra, Hoffman and also Beswick coming to the fore were so much better to my mind than what you see today. This video not prime example but when they had a run that was dialled it was sick smooth, your mind could enjoy the tricks fluid just nicer to watch. Vert comps now so many spins, it gets muddled and really looks like a spasmodic cocker spaniel with fleas. I am all for innovation but old school runs for me at least remain the best.
Incredible to see this stuff and amazing even now. Hoffman and Mirra then were what Fiola and Dominquez were in vert when I was in my teens. Vert is not the same apart from Jamie B who goes big and huge respect for that old crusader. Spin tricks are for flat land I like see air.
matt hoffman hella makes it look soo damn fun. so epic how his bars bent forward landing the nine, and those bars were on really tight you can tell. that ACL surgery he got wit the blackmarket doctor really did wonders, btw no anesthetics, check out what he says about it it on the tube, dave mirra (looks up) cheers (chugs beer) we miss you.
Now a days ryan williams is the most amazing BMX rider specially in BIG Air competiton..he throw hes bike in the air flpping alone 2 times like super man no hander in 2019..imagine that its really insane
The fact that mirra was so happy to see his competitor execute an impossible move in direct competition shows the character of the man. No more demons Dave, but we miss you bud.
RIP Dave Mirra, one of the greatest
And rip k-rob.
I remember watching this live. I was sitting on the floor in my living room doing my homework on the coffee table. When he landed that No Handed 9, I freaked out. Even my dad, who knew nothing about BMX was going crazy. It still gives me goosebumps watching it.
I love the mutual respect these magnificent athletes have for each other, unlike many other sports. RIP Dave Mirra.
Every x-games top athletes are nice to each other. Except that jerk tas pappas (rip)
Ozamataz Buckshank He’s still alive
This is very common for extreme sports, this is another thing I love them for
Yeshua Nilkus no he’s not he killed himself in 2016
Mason Patrick When you bracket rip behind someone’s name, you’d assume that’s the person you’re referring to.
Someone post mirras first run, I remember being there in person as a kid and his first run was absolutely off the charts. Best I’ve ever seen to this day
Mat Hoffman is BMX! Unbelievable what the sports means to him. GOAT
The only time miracle boy ever lost...rip Dave. Matt...you just absolutely crushed it thank you for being a dear friend to Dave and such an amazing competitor. You guys drived the sport and made it what it is. As a kid that grew up in upstate NY I am so fucking proud to have met you both....Fly high Hoffman!!
Matt Hoffman will always be the GODFATHER of bmx vert & Dave Mirra will always be the enforcer of the bmx sport .

That 900 no hander is still amazing in 2019
Not to mention pro bmx bikes weighed over 40 lbs (18 kilos) back then. These guys were athletes!!
@@NoUse4aName. say WHAAAT, seriously
@@NoUse4aName. No FUCKING way those bike's weigh 40 pound
That double peg after was so aggressive
@@ianmangham4570 yeah they did
RIP Dave and K-Rob. A beautiful moment in BMX history, I miss when the commentators went apeshit and made it that much more awesome.
Right. They expect too much now and lack excitement.
Bc we were witnessing legends be born.
Matt Hoffman was the MAN when I started biking 30 years ago! He was STILL the MAN here! That was unbelievable! RIP Mirra..
That was the best time in BMX
.. All the godfathers of BMX just firing back and forth at each other until the contest ends and they are all still the best of friends afterwards¡! I love it and always will¡!
There is something special about early 2000s X games
In the bmx world we are competitive but we are all friends at the same time we push each other to be the best at what we do and thats what makes bmx a excellent sport to get into
It's because of these two I am still riding BMXs today rip Dave Mirra
same here
I need a new bike been so many years.
I remember seeing this live , my jaw dropped to the floor !!!!
Me too
Dayum that is so cool
Ditto.
still does in 2020
Matt the condor Hoffman and Dave Mirra are the 2 main riders that put this sport where it is today,I grew up watching them,we would ride and try to mimic what we watched in there video's,well they were pro's and we were scrub's.thanks for the memories
Was fortunate enough to hear Mat being pumped about a trick I invented, and even meet him in Minneapolis during X-Games!
Fun day .I’m the same age as Dave I was in the stands watching these guys changing bmx forever..generation x made all these sports what they are today..we changed the entire culture from music ,gaming ,sports too even clothes ..
By far one of the greatest moments in BMX/Xgames history.
Didn’t read the whole video title before watching. That no-handed 9 blindsided me. Incredible 🙏
I bought a Haro blammo as a teenager and idolised Dave Mirra. When Dave Mirra bmx2 came out oni took a few days off of work just to play it.
R.I.P DAVE MIRRA
You've got mail.
@@jamesdennis2152 yaaaaaaay
Hoffman
We miss you miracle boy and love you, Mat Hoffman was killin it in that year. That was the second time I had seen the x-games on TV.
Gives me goose bumps can’t beat the good old days in 90s and naughties seeing the ps2 banner in the back only seems like it was yesterday rip Dave Mirra wish I could go back to that era was the best !

BMX plus had a centerfold of him mid 900, that yellow Hoffman Condor was on my wall for years. This brings back awesome childhood memories

Yo eso mismo les cuestionó a los chavos,las bicicletas de hoy son delgaditas.LA CONDOR ERA PESADISIMA.
Pesaban el doble

R.I.P Dave. You were a true inspiration.
Watching kevin robinson hug matt and help with the bike was rough man dave and kevin rest in peace. I skateboard but back then you just had a genuine love for xtreme sports we really watched and respected it all. Much love guy's
Never seen this but remember being him and doing them all the time in dave Mirra game. Rip to a legend
When vert was exciting to watch.
Estaba viendo la repeticion de bmx vert xgames 2018.....la verdad el nivel de espectacularidad de estos años nunca sera superada por los chicos de hoy en dia
Those haro bikes back then were so rad with the square vert bars and cushy seat and big pegs
I remember watching this live, I have it recorded on vhs as well lol
I remember when I watch this on tv when it first aired. Man that was ages ago.......
Miss watching you slay the BMX world Dave.
Bro you are a legend.
:D
So glad this came in my feed. Thanks for posting this part of bmx history
Mat Hoffman invented most vert Tricks known to man he is the one and only Condor ! no one ever better than him 😎
He does tricks Jamie still can't do.
If you haven't seen matt Hoffman ride a half pipe in person you have truly missed out !
The way Matt rode in that contest he could have won in ANY era! And he loved to compete with no brakes on his bikes.
I remember watching this live so crazy . This is what built this sport
How great he was iv just gotten right back into watching bmxs loved it in the early 80es
I reckon this is probably the greatest moment in bmx history
And a banner ad for original Playstation ONE, behind the ramp! Good times. So many memories.
Ps2, this was 2002-2003
The height Hoffman would get on his halfpipe runs was routinely higher than others, as well.
Why he was the condor!
I remember watching this on T.V. as a kid. Still blows my mind today
This was magical to witness back in the day. It was a magical time in the world. If time travel gets invented... I'm going back to this era
Matt es la leyenda en carne viva!!!...un verdadero Master☝
Mat's Signature Yellow Condor BMX Bike was off the hook I wonder If that replica of that Bike is rare to find?
“My friend Matt Hoffman the greatest bmx rider in vert ramp history “
Its why Im here
Man crazy to think it was these guys that got me on bmx later switched to mtb but this is where it all started need to get myself a bmx not riden one for years
Hace poco vi un video en Facebook de Hoffman haciendo ese mismo truco en el 89 y la rompió toda, pensé que desde aquí lo había hecho pero salió más impresionante hacer éste truco en el 89, bastante adelantado a la época
Man I loved watching these two as a kid. Hoffman was my fav, Mirra was OP.
old but gold the fact the ads are advertising ps2 just reminds me pf the good old times rip dave mirra 😢
Matt Hoffman is the greatest vert rider ever
OUTLAW712 Agreed
Hows about jamie bestwick?

Simon Tabron, John Parker
@@Bmxicano2
Parker used to catch huuuuuuge airs...
Badass rider...
Umm pioneers hardly. Ever heard of Fiola, Blyther, Dominguez, Wilkerson? These guys were the pioneers,
@@DaysofNotty course I have but they're mostly flatland...Martin Aparijo and Dennis McCoy
Incredible to see this stuff and amazing even now. Hoffman and Mirra then were what Fiola and Dominquez were in vert when I was in my teens. Vert is not the same apart from Jamie B who goes big and huge respect for that old crusader. Spin tricks are for flat land I like see air.
Dave used to bust lip tricks like nothing.
Mat Hoffman rimarrà, tra i migliori al mondo, in questo sport, tanto di cappello, mat👍.

I remember watching this on TV. Hoffman is such a madman.
Matt Hoffman was always beast mode on a bike.
Hoffman and Mirra X games doesn't get any better!!!
I miss the camera flashes throught the stadium! Just made everything so much more grander and epic!!
Oh how I wish I was old enough and saw this live. I can just imagine going "LAND IT! LAND IT! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Two gods of bmx
to witness this live like i did was amazing! RIP DM
2:50 what a move it was back then... Still is...
What a great show of sportsmanship that they helped him with his handlebars
That no hander 900 is still awesome in 2020!
ps2 and mat Hoffman, those were the days. I had this recorded on a vhs back in the day
looks so clean. amazing
That was SICK man!
Ride In Peace King Dave 💪🏽🙌🏽
The only thing anybody remembers from this event is the no handed 900..Mat is a legend.
Seeing Dave Mirra and Kevin Robinson in this brings me to tears
Ride in Peace K Rob and Dave Mirra!
😂I love the ordeal with mats stem/bars
6:15 Chad Kagy
