Letter From the Plywood Hoods: I first met Mat Hoffman on the summer 1987 Skyway tour after my friend had just gotten picked up by the team. I had seen photos in the magazine and watching him ride in person was unreal. What sticks out in my mind was noticing he had one piece cranks on his bike. After the show, I remember telling him that he should just get some good three piece cranks at the next shop and put it on Skyway’s tab.
