From the NSA contest series, to blowing minds at the infamous Chicago Shootout. Iconic video parts, numerous classic skateboards, and quite simply- a LEGENDARY career. Quadruple-OG, skateboarding LEGEND Tom Knox- has rightfully carved his face into street skatings Mount Rushmore. Not only was he a beast on the streets. He was also known to tear down a vert contest, or two. Which was no easy task in that era. Simply put— Tom Knox was a problem!! And, he’s back with an in-depth Part 2, exclusively on WCRP on Skateboarding.
Tune in, as Tom discusses growing up in Visalia, CA. We talk his first sponsor, the early days on Santa Cruz, & old teammates. A classic road trip with Mike Ternawsky, Ron Allen & Jim Thiebaud. The infamous kickflip wallride, and its origins. Placing top 10 in a Pro vert contest, stepping aside for the next generation, his preferred set-up, and all things skateboarding!
What an awesome conversation, with one of the true pioneers of the game. This gentleman us a true, unsung hero of the CULTURE. I wanted to give him his flowers, while he’s here with us. Thank you, Tom!
