In the passionate world of air guitar one warrior reigns supreme.  A loin cloth is all this master needs to prevail over opposing forces of rock.  Nordic Thunder claimed his victory as the the Air Guitar World Champion in 2012 and now is featured in Dr. Pepper's newest commercial.  Oh ya, did I mention he is from Casper?

The reigning US champion makes it very clear, he's proud of his accomplishments and even more proud his Mother got to share it all with him.
