BIO Inspired by his older brother John, Tom Schaar began 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, 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. With his many numerous accomplishments, it seems Schaar is doing just that.

In 2008, Schaar became the youngest person to compete in the Tampa Am Vert contest and was also the youngest person to compete in the finals of the expert division at King of the Groms for two consecutive years (2008-2009). In February 2009, Fuel TV named him “All Out Athlete,” the youngest athlete to receive this honor.

During the summer of 2009, Tom was featured in Disney and ESPN’s new TV series “Next X”. The series featured five advanced skateboarders and BMXer’s who were invited to Woodward West to show why they are considered future X Gamers.

At the young age of 12, Tom became the youngest skateboarder to land a 900, which inducted him into the famed “900 Club” (8th in the world). To further that impressive feat, the same year Tom also became the first skateboarder to land a 1080, making history and headlines aroudn the world.

Tom will no doubt continue to push the boundaries that contribute to the evolution of skateboarding.
