Podcast: Tony Hoffman Talks Straight Options

In what will go down as the most riveting Announcers Tower episode since we started the series, Tony Hoffman sat down with us last week to talk about life in the AA Class, his time in prison, and the rebirth that his experience there brought about. Tony also gives us a peek into Project Freewheel, an outreach program which he kicked off this past weekend in Fresno, designed to divert kids from the errant path, and on to the path of success through BMX and faith.

Give it a listen, and feel free to come back and post feedback or questions for Tony.

A big thanks to Tony for answering the tough questions, and giving us an awesome interview.

Best,

Everyone should listen to this. Its a bit longer then the normal podcast but its very well worth it.

Does it stop at 19:40 or is there a 2nd part? I know THoff can talk for more than 19 minutes!!!

[burdettebmx]

I posted the interview on my Facebook page and encouraged people to listen. It is well worth the 20 minutes!

[sxebmx]

It's a solid 40 minutes.

Once Roynuts heard his name mentioned and no punchlines thrown he fainted in disbelief, drink a glass of cold water son and get some fresh air. Then sit back down at the computer and press play cuz you have a good 20min. to go.

Sorry for the length guys! I'm never short of words and some of this stuff just can't be sum'd up in one sentence! I really enjoyed this interview. Mike deserves all of the credit, he asked great questions and put them together so things just flowed really well.

Thanks again for the interview Mike, I hope it inspires the masses.

The interview is a hair under 41 minutes (worth every second, IMHO).

Best podcast to date...

T-hoff, the more I hear from you, the more I read on your site, the more I hope to make to a national this year and meet you. It is hard to come back from where you have been. I may not be a religious person, but if that keeps you on the right path, more power to you. Good luck with it all. I believe your focus on your goals will take you far.
