In 2005, the Mat Hoffman Action Sports Park in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, also opened. It has since been named one of the top ten such parks in the country. Hoffman was inducted into the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame in February 2018. Hoffman died at age 49 on August 4, 2006 after being hit by a car while riding his motorcycle. The accident occurred as he returned home from a local skatepark where he had been teaching classes. He is survived by his wife, two children, and two brothers. After graduating from high school, Hoffman traveled across America working various jobs including truck driver, bouncer, and gas station clerk before settling in Oklahoma City where he started a business repairing shoes for other people's boots and selling them online. His website, www.mathoffman.com, still receives more than 100,000 unique visitors per month. In 2001, Hoffman created a new form of martial art called "action sports kung fu" which combines the fundamentals of kickboxing with the versatility of skateboarding and surfing. He taught several classes throughout 2002 and 2003 before closing down due to health issues related to his prosthetic leg. In 2004, he announced the creation of a new action sports kung fu school called "10th Planet Academy". The school opened in May 2005 with Hoffman acting as both teacher and student.
