Who's the greatest ever Freestyle Rider?

(1/3) > >>

factory pilot:
Chatting to Tony Lee the other night we both decided that arguably the greatest rider ever was Mat Hoffman ?
We looked at longievity and taking it to the next level and Matt was undoubtedly the man for us ...
So much so that we feel much more fuss should be made about him than actually takes place.
When they look back at BMX in 20 years who do think should and will be the most revered and remembered?

hotdog:
Couldn't agree more. I've had this conversation numerous times and he is 'hands-down' the best ever. He re-invented the sport.... the tricks,the equipment,the ramps and the industry at a time when bmx was on its arse. He is a true legend. I honestly don't think anyone will have the same impact that he has had on the sport in the years to come. He is PRO!  And then some.

deeman:
I think 'ol DMC deserves a mention, especially when longevity is concerned!

Retrodan72:
Anyone that could do a stand up wheelie for 100 yards is a worthy contender.

griff:
I'd vote for Mat too, he single-handedly changed the sport
As a mark of respect I've now given him his own entry in the RAD sweary filter, so every time someone types Mat Hoffman it corrects it to Mat Hoffman
