Introducing another article you'll be seeing quite a lot of in the future here on Cyclone, "Eyes On", where we take a look at a fingerboarder that we love, and you might too. So if you're a sponsor, keep your eyes on this article! And if you're just a general viewer to the public, subscribe if you like what you see from the person we feature in the article!
Who better to start off the article than with UK Mancunian beast fingerboarder, and one of my best friends in the entire scene, Tom Colbert! If you're a frequent Cyclone reader, or even if you take a quick gander here and there, you'll have no doubt of heard of Tom Colbert. If you're new to the website, let me introduce to you one of the best fingerboarders to come out of the entire UK scene. I've known Tom since 2009, when I first met him at UKR2. I'd hardly spoke to him the entire event, until he gave me a piece of paper with his youtube channel on it. My mind's a little cloudy as to how I went from being impressed with his videos to suddenly speaking to him daily over Skype, but It happened, and I've never looked back and questioned it. Tom is such a great person, in both personality and fingerboarding skills. It has been a bit of a rough couple of years for Tom, in the sense that he almost lost faith in fingerboarding altogether. But luckily, and I'm glad to say, he didn't, and it was only recently he made an extreme come back, and started releasing videos. Seriously, this guy can release videos faster than you can say "videos", and It's great, too! Quality and quantity, the perfect mix.
Over the past year, Tom's been getting better and better and better, but It's only being noticed by a handful. A few people at Crossed Fingers acknowledged "this guy is pretty damn good", which will account for how he made it all the way into the finals in the championship! Tom's only going to get better, and each video you can tell he's getting better and better. It's quite amazing to watch! What more could you ask for? A great personality, great fingerboarding skills, and able to make frequent videos and output them like sweets on halloween. What more could a sponsor want in a teamrider, ey ey? Seriously though, take a look at how amazing this guy is, it will blow your mind.
If your mind is still able to read this after being blown, subscribe to Tom, you won't regret it! Frequent, entertaining videos with some awesome vibes. Oh and, as the cliché saying goes, get this kid on *insert team here*! Do it, now!
