Art Thomason – Summer 2015

July 12, 2015

We’re always stoked when our favorite NASA employee, Art Thomason drops a new flatland video. Today, we spotted some footage he collected from some of his backyard sessions so far this summer over on Flat Matters. As always, Art comes through with some dialed riding, except this time around he’s been playing with the brakeless side of things to challenge himself. It looks like it’s working out quite well for him! Take a look!

“After having my brakes off for a few months, I have mastered many of the switches I initially wanted to learn. Now I am working on putting things together on proper links. Enjoy.
Music: Metastz – Bagdad’s Breathe.”
