this is a music video shot and edited by me of a flatland session with a bunch of guys from the Boston area in Cambridge, MA.

i corresponded with some of them online via global-flat.com. i hooked up with them cause i was looking for a group to ride with. they were cool with me taking some videos of there sessions. decided to put the videos to music. i even attempted to choreograph the moves of the riders to the music; it work out pretty good in some parts.

once the project started i couldn't stop. i became somewhat obsessed with finishing it within a week. i didn't even go out to ride. i'm glad its finally over. still, it was a lot of fun working on it. perhaps i'll get another chance to do it again.
