TOM FRY - Greatest Hits 2021

How old are you, Tom?

- 28

How long have you been skating?

• 15 years now

You live in chicago, have you lived in the midwest your whole life?

- I was born in the Philippines but moved here      very young. Grew up in the suburbs and have lived in the city on and off for probably 10 years / since I started school.

You seem like a multi-faceted individual. What other things are you into, besides skating?

• I went to school for non-fiction writing and didn’t finish but have always tried to keep the writing influence around - most recently into short comedy skits.

I have been testing the waters on 2-D animations and really enjoy it.

This edit that you recently published, does it have a title?

• no title , just an edit for the sake of making one.

This is a “greatest hits” compilation of tricks filmed on a phone right?

• Yup exactly.

When were all the clips filmed for this?

• All throughout this year. Oldest clip is the manny revert half cab (March 7th) and most recent is the manny up and down (December 13th)

What is the soundtrack to the edit?

• Bold by Jackie Cohen (they were hyped)

Who films you skating most of the time?

• whatever homies happen to be at the park at the time and don’t mind filming. I always wanna film something and hate asking so I’m likely to offer a coffee or a tall boy.

Or I set my phone up on my bike somehow.

Do you have any other full parts from other full length videos? or have you ever made a VX part?

• no full parts , just random edits I’ll make every few months. I’d love a (VX) part honestly and still wanna make one happen.

I’ll keep a few playlists of songs I’d wanna use and always test it with the only clips I have just to see how it’d turn out (this edit being one of them).
