The Birth of Big Air (2010)

In the pulsating world of 1985 BMX, a prodigious 13-year-old named Mat Hoffman burst onto the scene, climbing to professional status by the time he was 16. With a career defined by audacity, Hoffman has consistently defied the conventional barriers of his sport, driven by a relentless pursuit of the unprecedented, the unchartered "what's next". His aspirations are fueled not by the allure of fame or the flash of cameras, but by a deep-seated passion for the purity of his sport. Endorsements and adoration aside, Hoffman would still be seen relentlessly challenging the laws of gravity. In "The Birth of Big Air", Academy Award nominee Spike Jonze and extreme sports enthusiast Johnny Knoxville, alongside director Jeff Tremaine, delve into the heart and mind of this pioneering athlete. They capture the daring exploits and intricate internal machinations of the man who has become synonymous with "Big Air."
