A little history...
Travis Mesman started cultivating his flight about ten years ago. He says “Cultivating Flight is my ongoing effort in the fight against gravity and instilling in others that they can do anything that enters the scope of their imagination. These goals can be achieved through daily practice, rigorous training, but otherwise through play. My personal practice includes taking all forms of dance class and continuous play in breakin', capoeira, aerial dance, and acrobatics.”
