It's been a while since myself and Tom Cardy have worked on a proper video. At the beginning of the year Tom was picked up by Dartmoor bikes, Animal clothing, X Fusion Shox and Slam 69 bike shop. Tom rides most weeks on the Animal action sports tour doing shows, as well as competing in the Dirt Wars UK series and other european events! However we both made time and finally got round to filming a new video! The video took 4 months to complete, filmed at various spots across the UK including Radical bikes, Holdshot trails and Rom Skatepark.
Filming the skatepark section at ROM skatepark!
Getting sideways at his local jumps, Radical Bikes!

Keep an eye out for Tom on the FMB world tour next year, as well as more video edits!

Bit of something for everyone in there
BUT....and negative prop me into oblivion, I don't care....I didn't see a single trick in this video that wouldn't look better, and be performed more efficiently, on a BMX bike. Not to mention durability and cost of parts repair or replacement of BMX vs MTB with this style of riding (although I'm sure he gets it all for free through sponsorship).
e.g. I could pound nails into wood all day long with a large Crescent wrench if I wanted too. But there's this thing called a hammer...
