Unlike many of the world’s major cities, Bangkok's BMX/skateboard scene is relatively small. Despite featuring countless grind-worthy sites and obstacles -- ollie over a Tuk Tuk, anyone? -- it’s relatively rare to catch a massive group of riders tricking here. And even rarer to see these athletes captured in professional quality images and videos.

But today we came across the work of freelance Bangkok photographer/videographer Nat Sakhonbut (see above video) and were amazed by his coverage of the city's understated riding scene. Check out his incredible Flickr stream here or visit his Vimeo page for more videos.
