No real plan,just over the past few months I composed five facts you probably didn't not know about Tom.Everytime we try and get this little interview done,something always distracts the plan and we end up just shooting the shit,but here you go,enjoy.
1.Tom claims his favorite movie is "Snakes On A Plane" which is a step up from his old favorite,"Captain Ron".
2.He will not be digging or finding any trails to dig at this year.
3.Grinding with Three Pegs does not count.
4.Tom (and myself included) think box jumps and 6ft coping to coping Chad Kagy spines are terrifying if you don't ride park for a really long time.
5.Random Tom fact:The first day he ever had a pair of Poverty pegs on his GT Interceptor he grinded a ten stair downstep ledge,then pedaled fullspeed at a mat for track practice and flipped over the handlebars.
Me and Tom have been thru alot since 1997,from cross country road trips searching out pools,fullpipes,whatever,to being handcuffed together for draining a pool,from countless trips to Asbury Park to ride the Pool (R.I.P) Theres more to Tom White than meets the eye.He might be humble and act like his brand of street riding doesn't matter and he's just another face in BMX world.But the reality is,no one deserves to be where they are at right now in bike riding more than Tom.Since we were kids he was always the first one to charge some deadman gap,or some super scary double down the trails.He might come off as lazy,But he's one of my best friends and I wouldn't change that for the world.Only dude i know that has kept it 100% real since we graduated and has had the chance to break into the bmx industry in a huge way.Just wait for the new Animal video.Hopefully theres some pool,and indoor skatepark footage haaa.
Old standpoint part Tunney thru up on the Dig page for your viewing pleasure.
Tom is a sick guy!
And Tom's favorite Kurt Russel Film.
