Hard to believe that it has been 22 years since Mat Hoffman pulled the first 900 in a contest.
Others had come close, but the 900 was an elusive trick that sent many rider down — hard — whenever it was attempted.
This contest would change all that.
I still remember that day…piling into a car with a bunch of friends so hyped that we were going to a 2-Hip King of Vert contest.
It felt like something big was going to happen.
Little did we know how big…
