Since his arrival he has seamlessly integrated into the Melbourne Rollerblading crew; the local characters he has watched through Aussie rolling media have now become his close friends, and he has been killing the game.

Since making the move, he’s taking out second place at the 2014 Australian Rolling Open, second at the Victorian Titles at held at his local park in Prahran, and you can see him getting better and better at every session.

Now representing Square Wheels from his homeland of New Zealand, and his new Australian sponsor Velvet Couch Clothing, Tom is a very welcome addition to the family.

Be sure to keep an eye out for his upcoming street edit!

Also known as Meat, the Wellington-based shredder not only rips on the blades, but is also reportedly a fearsome muay thai fighter as well. Don’t mess with this guy!

We could say more, but really… his skating speaks for itself.
