An interview with Tom Asta c/o Dead Air Radio.

[@SantaCruzSkateboards]

Best dude 🙌

[@tomlotti240]

One of my favorite "newer" skaters. His channel is super helpful with how to stuff, and he seems like a genuine good dude. Also, his Battle at the Berrics, the game of skate with PJ Ladd, was epic (it got me so stoked that I almost landed my first hard flip after watching it). Tom's trick selection got more and more tech. And he won.Pretty cool to see Don Brown and Kelly Hart there too.

[@RMPMcDermott]

*Hero... HAHA. It'll always be a hoagie to me. South Jersey represent. Loved this interview!

[@gunpla_sk8]

Dave has the best intro 😏

[@diplenski]

santa cruz/nhs is sick. so many of your favorite skaters and their favorite skaters, absolute legends have at least passed through or are still there.

[@ccollins125]

Saw that couple minutes of Footy. That shit was sick Steve!

[@justind4763]

Rhibar was a nut! I remember in 7th grade our teacher let us watch his Sponsor Me video in class. One summer I was practicing my bike jumps and he just skates on by and bombs a 7 stair like it was nothing. Hes in a video game!?

[@johnnybanes1389]

Awwwww yeah

[@diplenski]

i have some gullwing G trucks from the '90s, they have a rounded baseplate on the pivot end. they're tombstone shaped looking down from the top. i remember really liking them, but they're 7.5" so i haven't ridden them in almost 30 years. be good on a freestyle board or something. i have a 7.75" deck they'd be good on bc i ride wider wheels

[@bobbysiegrist]

Nice one boys

[@Baloni01]

Yes LOTM is the best!

[@diplenski]

wawa meatball hoagie, pepper jack cheese, pepperoni, hot banana peppers, raw spinach. thank me later ;)

[@diplenski]

my experience with mob is the edges peel up.

[@diplenski]

i'm firmly jessup gang. i have a sheet of m-80 floating around it seems decent, they were out of jessup, but i haven't actually used it yet.

[@gunpla_sk8]

Been riding ace for almost 2 years now thinking about going back to thunders prior to aces it was thunders only, indys too heavy

[@deadonarrival2882]

I usually go with venture low but I do like the thunder geometry better

[@GM-l1c]

Thunders for ledges and basic street the lower geometry is just perfect and built for it think shane oneill indy and ace tallrr geometry makes those pool and bowl carves so easy and fun and "turny" as ben would say and the extra metal meat on them for really solid pool or metal coping lockins or curb slashers and that crunchyyy sound is indy all day forsure I've gone through solid phases of skating both indy and thunder recently been skating thunders for the type of skating I been doing but yeah indys are solid too ❤❤❤

[@JanneH82]

Im like asta, break bearings all the time. doesn't matter what brand too, sometimes it breaks first session 🫠 swiss, reds, bronson what ever. All the same 😢

[@diplenski]

i thought the kung fu sound clip was the intro?

[@diplenski]

bet he doesn't use wheel core spacers if he keeps breaking bearings.

[@baytucks]

tom got the sauce in him not on him 🍝

[@diplenski]

wawa coffee is so good

[@mattmolloy636]

Get this man off of Sole Tech and make it so he doesn’t have to be a KZbinr.

[@dave_waite]

I was told Ishod has his baseplates custom machined and rounded off Around the bolt holes and on the pivot as well:

[@deadonarrival2882]

Interesting

[@GM-l1c]

Thats how the new inverted ones come they do help lock easier and longer for me they remind me of the independent baseplates I would skate

[@diplenski]

tom doesn't know about earmuffs lol
