Filmed and edited by Eddie Roman

March 25th, 1989 a 17 year old Mat Hoffman landed his first 900 at the 2-Hip King of Vert contest in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. It was Mat's second pro contest, and he'd only attempted the trick once prior. To celebrate the 26th anniversary Hoffman Bikes uploaded the footage from Eddie Roman's 'Head First' which you can watch in it's entirety here.
