Art Thomason – Hoffman Big Daddy Edit

July 5, 2019

A few weeks back we got a look at the new Hoffman Bikes Big Daddy 2019 Reissue frame, and a bunch of older riders were pumped to see it. Now, we get a look at the frame in action since Art Thomason was able to get his hands on a prototype to try out! Here’s a video he put together giving you a look at the frame built up, along with a bunch of dialed clips from his backyard flatland sessions!

“Mat let me try out the Big Daddy prototype and I am really impressed with how the bike rides. They did a great job capturing the old school look, but making sure it rides like a 2019 frame. Check out this edit to see how it rides!” – Art Thomason

Art Thomason – 43 Part 4 – Back Wheel

July 20, 2018

Part 4 of Art Thomason’s 43 video series has arrived…

Art Thomason might be 43 years old, but that hasn’t slowed him down one bit! He’s been pumping out videos with each one focused on a different style of tricks. This time around we get a look at a bunch of back tire combos he has had locked in for quite some time now during some sessions in his backyard! As always, Art lays down a bunch of great riding, so hit play and enjoy!

“After focusing primarily on front wheel tricks for the past 15 years or so, I have had a great time learning new tricks on the back wheel recently. Here are my latest combos.”

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

Art Thomason – October 2017 Video

October 23, 2017

Art Thomason coming through with some fresh footage from his flatland sessions as of late…

Whenever we check Flat Matters and we see Art Thomason has a new video, we get super pumped. It’s not every day that you get to see riding from a guy who spends his days working at NASA and his free time riding flatland. Here’s a fresh batch of footage from some of his backyard flatland sessions over the course of the past few months. As always, Art is dialed as ever, and it looks like taking the brakes off didn’t hurt things, either. Take a look!

“Here are a few tricks I have been working on over the past couple of months.” – Art Thomason
