Dude y is your left arm tucked under your shirt? Props to you being able to ride that good wit one arm but if your other arm woks use it!!!
Yes, that means his arm is "dead". It's still there, but it's useless. Amazing riding. I'm probably worse with both arms working
and btw, you can save couple grams on the front brake.
his arm is completely dead but recently tom has actually started making some progress regarding movement of his arm... he can now just about swing his arm back and forth using his shuolder muscles... i wish him a speedy recovery...

Very good riding there, keep it up

I remember riding behind this huy on A-line in whistler and i caught up to him right where you can turn into the boneyard and i thought that he was drinking from his camel back but then he kept on riding like that and i was so confused then i ended up remebering something about him on pinkbike that i read. It was really amazing!

I don't know if you guys have seen it, but there was a video of a guy with one arm missing and we was dropping some big stuff. Anyway those guys only shows us that when you love something, you'll do everything you can to make it.
wow what a gay video but the 1 handed stuff was good next time hit some jumps and nail some no handers or no footers
Why make your handicap a problem when you can make it a plessure, this guy is my new rolemodel... awsome dude!
no shit his arm is under his shirt. If you could read you'd probably understand that at least 6 people have already explained that the reason his arm is under his shirt is because it got paralized after a huge crash.
That dude must have one really buff right arm now. Riding one handed takes way more strength, and balance.
It still takes soo much skill to do that, You counldnt. I can only stand up and ride for like 25 feet... Nice video dude.
omg i thats amazin! if you look at the start of the video when it pans across his bars you can see he has boht brakes pn theright hand side!!! that nust be tricky to hand! well done man!!1
if you going to ask why his arm is under his shirt read the coments above or watch this video http://www.myspace.com/ride_til_you_die and you will will see why.
btw his arm is paralised thats what everyone else says.

if you go to his myspace. in his pics. you can tell he has both brake levers on one side. it appears he uses his index finger for one and his middle for another.. assuming index is front brake and middle is rear. not sure tho.. much respect..
ive seen pics of u man, props for riding like that, ur my idol cuz i can see me in the same place as u sometime
the part i liked most was reading all the comments of people who obviously didn't read the comments!
haha....seriously...keep it up man.

i've seen this guy before on pics, but i was really surpriced how good he is riding. It must be very very hard to learn to ride that well with just one arm!
[Reply]
how many times... it is paralysed.. it isnt gonna do much good dangle around his knees now is it!! you ass!
how many more reatards are gonna comment sayin "take your arm out your shirt its alot easyier" yeah im sure if it wasnt paralysed he would! sweet riding man respect!
[Reply]
if he's paralyzed, why doesn't he simply cut off half of his bar? provided he'll never be able to use it that is... just extra weight i figure...
wow, thats just great!
i can´t imagine to ride downhill with only one arm...
he really deserved so much respect.

thats so sweet, there is a couple guys around hear that are riding one armed, one guy from the loops, i saw a pic of him doing like a 17 foot drop, i can't even do that and i have 2 arms, and of course there is that guy in the old north shore extremes who has a machanical arm, he rides an intense M3 now and shreds it!
