Art Thomason – Isolation Edit from art thomason on Vimeo.
Isolation sure doesn’t seem so bad when you have a backyard riding spot like Art Thomason does. And, Art puts it too good use in this new edit, digging the Cliffhanger double peg to peg boomerang to cliffhanger at 00:31 from the opening line. There’s so much more to boot, go watch this one!
So much progression on this one always good seeing Art’s latest. Gnarly pedal 5 turbine, lots of boomerangs and that backwards karl to pivot ride out was legit!
Art rules, love the whiplash to pedal 5. That spot has paid for itself right now, im sure Art is thinking “wow what a great decision”…
Yeah Art beautiful!
Jason Forde said it best , couple years ago……..about riders like Art who …..no matter what , they keep up WITH THE TIMES of MODERN , PROGRESSIVE , NEW SCHOOL , HIGH LEVEL bmx flatland , that is todays normal ……Art has BEEN that dude since the first time , me seeing him ride in person . Hes ALWAYS ahead and WITH THE TIMES . This edit SCREAMS that . I ll be the first to tell ya…..Ive been riding for MANY moons ….and my style is STILL a mix of 1985 , 1996-97 , a lil bit of 1998 , but THATS IT , haha……I am NOT …WITH THE TIMES , haha….Art IS ! Theres a VALID reason why hes been the one flatlander that’s been on the HOFFMAN BIKE COMPANY roster …..the LONGEST . DOUBLE boomerangs BETWEEN spinning , pumping cliffhangers ! PEDAL fives from whiplashes ,and turbines ! Also dropped down to cross fire haul turbines ! Just straight up HAMMER links that are PROGRESSIVE , STYLISH , with ZERO dead time or filler . Ive closely followed Arts riding since 1999 ……..he HASNT missed a single beat , trend or concept ….AT ALL ! Crazy thing is …….he SO damn smooth doing some of the hardest stuff , that I think it some cats kinda miss the degree of difficulty , while hes flowing through his lines , haha. Damn , bruv ……when he took OFF his brake…….in LESS than 3 MONTHS …..he ALREADY had most of his stuff LEARNED , DIALED …….AND ……R E A D Y for ……CONTESTS , even picked up MORE new tricks , variations . If youre talking bout a TOP U.S. rider these days……..youre damn well talking about ART THOMASON…….
Put it to ya like THIS……….Ive also got a D.V.D. from November 2007 of Arts links , front AND back wheel ……..that would SERIOUSLY get the MUST WATCH tag on this site……..TODAY , no b.s. , and DAMN …….his steam turbine -flap-jack to switch hand steam to IMMEDIATE step over to crack packer , MID-LINE @ 1.15 MIUNTES in this edit , you see ….its transitions like THIS …that make his riding so technical and HAARRRD . B.Z. , CHECK ……THIS edit out ! Art RULES , TIMES 7…………
