The Kill.
Tom was sponsored by Zero and had a part in their Cold War video from 2013. He did the expected big rails, but he was also starting to hit up the out of the way spots that have come to define his skating. 3D was more or less done by the start of 2016 so he made the ever popular in-house team shuffle over to Skate Mental that January. Tom would turn pro at this point. He joined WKND at the end of 2020, although he had said as far back as 2017 that he really liked that company.
Work was slow yesterday afternoon so I watched the new Baker video. The skating was great, but the music was terrible beyond the Lou Reed, Germs (I think), and Ghostface Killah. For as much of a music snob as I am, I have the lowest standards imaginable for skateboard videos so it sucks when they can't even come up with something vaguely palatable. It's like when Marge asked Homer to put pants on for their dinner party and he didn't even do that. Anyway, Andrew Reynolds is still the best, even if it is odd to see him wearing Vans. I was impressed by Zach Allen's part. He's grown a bit and gotten a much better command of his skateboarding. Are they starting Rowan Zorilla's SOTY push already?

This is a good read that explains what all happened behind the scenes with the company and Brian's sponsorship changes.
