  • Tom Schaar Professional Skateboard Athlete
    TOM SCHAAR PROFESSIONAL SKATEBOARD ATHLETE BORN LOS ANGELES, CA LIVES MALIBU, CA HEIGHT 4’5” WEIGHT 70 LBS. SPONSORS DC SHOES, RED BULL ENERGY DRINK, ELEMENT SKATEBOARDS, MEGARAMP, PRO-TEC HELMETS, SKATELAB BIO Inspired by his older brother John, Tom Schaar began skateboarding when he was four-years-old. And, it didn’t take long before his love and skill for the sport evolved. In fact, he entered his first competition just one year later at the age of five! Best known for his incredible acrobatics, the native Californian is a “big-air tranny” skateboarder. Tom can be usually be found flying high at skateparks, bowls, verts and mini-mega ramps, all at a level that extends way beyond his young age. The most challenging trick Schaar has landed is a backside 360 to 900 on the MegaRamp – the youngest skateboarder to complete this move. He has also successfully mastered the 30” vert ramp and landed a front side 540/rodeo flip and a back flip. But even having accomplished techniques that most boys his age don’t attempt, Schaar’s appetite for success isn’t satisfied. He is continually setting his goals higher and higher and working towards becoming an even better, well rounded skater. It is clear that Tom is on the path to success and the entire skateboarding industry is taking notice. Among the many that have taken note of Tom, professional skateboarders Bucky Lasek, Bob Burnquist and Steve Badillio have all mentored Schaar. All have encouraged him to try new tricks, develop a signature style, and make sure to keep skateboarding fun.
