Art Thomason – 43 Part 3: Front Wheel

July 5, 2018

Art Thomason is back with a fresh video for you to check out!

There aren’t a lot of 43 year olds putting out BMX videos, let alone 3 in a single year. Here’s the latest from Art Thomason who has been busy getting flatland sessions in his backyard down in Floria. For the 3rd part of his 43 series, he cooked up a bunch of front wheel combos that he makes look real easy! Take a look!

“As I started collecting clips for my 3rd edit as a 43 year-old, I decided to divide the clips into a front wheel edit and a back wheel edit to keep them at a reasonable length. This front wheel edit is centered around a few new switches that allow me to put together some new long links. Enjoy.” – Art Thomason

Hub Talk: Far East Cycles Freecoaster Hub How To

July 5, 2018

Get a detailed look at how the Far East Cycles Freecoaster hub comes apart and all the parts that make it work…

Here’s a video Jean William Prevost sent through giving us a detailed look at how the Far East Cycles Freecoaster hub comes apart and all of the parts that make it work, followed by how it’s put back together. This hub uses a unique driver system that is more like a cassette hub than a freecoaster since it doesn’t use a clutch like most of the other freecoaster options out there. This hub was designed for flatland, but we would imagine this could hold up to some street action, too. Hit play and take a closer look. You can pick this hub up for $169.99 – $319.99 depending on if you go with the titanium axle and driver or chromoly. You can see the options available over on Flatland Fuel!

“FEC hub inventor Ashao gets together with Jean William Prévost to take the hub apart and put it back together as they give some tips on how to use it and assemble/disassemble it correctly.” – Jean William Prevost

In Time For Blu Enigma

July 5, 2018

Check out this video from the Blu Enigma Bowl and Gratitude Trails!

It has been a while since we’ve seen a video from the Blu Enigma bowl that is part of a hotel over in Greece. Jake Ortiz and Waylon Burrough recently made a stop by during a recent trip where they cruised there, followed up by some street and trails. Not bad for some extra riding they were able to get in during their trip! Take a look!

“Jake Ortiz and Waylon Burrough find a perfect street spot in the small port town of Rafina while waiting for the ferry strikes to end so they can continue on their way to Andros Island in search of the BluEnigma Bowl and Gratitude Trails.

July 4, 2018

The Shadow Conspiracy and Subrosa have released their “ONE” video online for everyones viewing pleasure!

Here’s one we’ve been looking forward to for a few weeks now! The Shadow Conspiracy and Subrosa Brand team riders got together in in Atlanta, Georgia where they spent their time crushing spots galore! Hit play because this is 22 minutes of pure amazing.

“In celebration of the release of the “ONE” video use the code ATL-ONE on shop.subrosabrand.com or shop.theshadowconspiracy.com for 10% of your order for the next week. Deal ends Friday July 13th.

Subrosa Brand and The Shadow Conspiracy present ONE.

The idea of ONE is that each of these riders is as much a part of Subrosa as they are of The Shadow Conspiracy. They are as much individuals as they are a team. Each rider possesses a strong, unique talent and perspective on riding, but when they come together they are one unit.

This project was the result of putting these 6 riders in one place on one trip to create something that truly shows they are a team, but also a family.

ONE is a full-length web video with parts from Subrosa/Shadow riders Kyle Hart, Simone Barraco, Joris Coulomb, Matt Ray, Trey Jones and Mark Burnett.
