Tom Asta's Story
YouTube: Santa Cruz Skateboards

The oldest continuous skateboard company in the world, Santa Cruz, has released their loyal rider Tom Asta's documentary story via their official YouTube channel.

Life comes at all of us differently. Some people use their situation as an excuse, and others use it to fuel their fire. Asta grew up in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, and still calls it home to this day.

One of the more humble people on the skate team, Asta, takes you through coming up in the skate industry based on the other side of the country, with no plans of ever "Going Pro."

His natural talent and great attitude brought him to the likes of Chris Cole and Jamie Thomas, who helped him become the seasoned Pro he is today.

Produced by Andrew Cannon, Joe Perrin, and Trevar Cushing, the footage encourages everyone to focus on their long-term goal by being passionate about what they love. Eventually, your purpose will automatically make its way like Asta's inspiring story.

Stream the video below, and don't forget to share it with your friends on social media. Enjoy!

  • Nyjah Huston’s ‘Unbroken’ Pro Board Features His Gnarly Fractured Skull Graphic After taking a brutal slam that fractured Nyjah Huston’s skull and eye socket during a backside feeble grind on the massive handrail stairs, it looked like things could have gone really wrong. But Nyjah didn’t let it keep him down. He’s skating the streets again, and to celebrate the comeback, his brand Disorder Skateboards is dropping the new ‘Unbroken’ Pro Board featuring a gnarly fractured skull graphic that’s impossible to ignore. The board itself is absurd, a perfect reflection of what Nyjah went through. It captures that moment when a slam goes seriously wrong but the rider comes back harder, and the design hits in a way that makes anyone who sees it stop and look. Core heads can now pre-order the deck and get a piece of that history straight from the streets. Disorder Skateboards put it like this: “With one of the heaviest slams skateboarding has ever seen, we’re making a graphic that’s dedicated to @nyjah commitment to the streets. Available for pre-order tomorrow 12pm PST.” This release isn’t just about a board. It’s about recovery, persistence, and the kind of skating that doesn’t quit even after hitting the deck in a way most people couldn’t imagine.Nyjah Huston’s ‘Unbroken’ Pro Board Features His Gnarly Fractured Skull Graphic
