Despite what you might hear from the die-hard 80's old-schoolers the majority of BMX companies that have had the biggest influence and stood the the test of time were formed after 1990. We all know Mat's history but it's easy to forget that Hoffman bikes has been around since late 1991 and is a great example of a modern day brand that's been there, done that, and seen it all for almost 24 years. From oval tubing and early manufacturing deals with the likes of Kastan Engineering and SE Racing, to the production of long running classics such as the Condor, Bama frame and Low Drag bars, Hoffman's influence has always gone well beyond that of the one crazy guy on the team who listens to DC hardcore and likes to jump out of planes a lot.

Hoffman Bikes got a jump on summer and released a full look at their full range of complete bikes, frames, and parts slated to hit shops June 26th. From the entry level 18" Imprint and 20" Immersion to classic signature products from the likes of Seth Kimbrough, Ben Hennon, Kevin Jones, and Matt Hoffman the new line suits pretty much. Whether you are in the market for a quality first bike, or looking to update your ride with the returning vert classic LowDrag V4.3's, HB still have you covered.

It's funny how everything has come full-circle since this paragraph that Mat wrote for The Ride of My Life in 2002 re-calling the days leading up to the creation of Hoffman Bikes - "With the sport continuing its downward spiral, withering and shrinking, there were hardly any events or competitions left to attend. The thriving scene of the '80s was gone. But freestyle was far from dead -it was just underground. From my perspective, I didn't really have a choice. I needed a bike, I needed contests, I needed a community. In short, I needed to get off my ass and make it happen. The companies that still made freestyle bikes didn't seem particularly committed to, or even interested in freestyle as a sport. They saw it as a number, and with the bike industry sales in decline, that number did not command much respect. In the past, I'd been offered a chance to have my own signature bike on Haro. I should have been stoked, but my 'question everything' mind-set was provoking me to do a lot of soulsearching. If I was going to put my name on a bike, I didn't want it to be at the mercy of bean counters."
