This is How Tom Asta Became One of the Best Skateboarders Alive: True Grit | Santa Cruz Skateboards

Life comes at all of us differently. Some people use their situation as an excuse and others use it to fuel their fire. Tom Asta grew up in Langhorne, Pennsylvania and still calls it home to this day. One of the more humble people we've met, Tom takes you through coming up in the skate industry that was based on the other side of the country, with no plans of ever "Going Pro". Natural talent and his great attitude brought him to the likes of Chris Cole and Jamie Thomas who helped him become the seasoned Pro he is today. We are proud to present to you the Tom Asta True Grit.

Jake Wooten Interview

First up - congratulations on turning pro! How is your life going to change?

I don’t think too much will change on a day-to-day basis...still going to go out with the same homies and skate every day!

 

Were you involved in the plans or were you surprised by the team holding your boards and pouring champagne over you? That’s often how it goes down these days right?

I had absolutely no idea about the plan to turn me pro, so I was very confused at first and then completely blown away when I realized what was happening. They also got my parents in on it (they just so happened to be out here for the first time since I moved from Tennessee) so I couldn’t have asked for a better time. The champagne was sick and all but seeing the entire SC squad inside my little one bed apartment at ONE TIME was so damn cool. Something that is beyond even my ten-year-old self’s wildest dreams.

 

What’s your first graphic all about? Who created it and what does it mean to you?

My first graphic is all about expressing my mind. It shows all sorts of duality and contrast with not only the art but the colors of the board as well. It was made by Tommy Fernando, and it is my greatest accomplishment in life. Since I started skating my earliest dreams were of going pro. It’s deeper than words. It truly is everything I ever wanted in life, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds!

You’re from Tennessee originally, right? Do you live there now? 

 I was born and raised in Gallatin, Tennessee for 19 years of my life, then in January 2019 I moved out to Carlsbad with some friends in Southern California and have been in southern California since.

 

The documentary that Santa Cruz made about you told us you were really influenced to start skateboarding by one of those live Tony Hawk arena events - do you remember which part of it got you so psyched?

 It was in 2005 and my uncle Phillip (who I ended up moving in with when I was 8) took me out to go see Tony Hawk’s Boom Boom Huck Jam. I think he was trying to get me stoked up the motocross aspect, he had a 450 and had gotten me a 50cc. They were doing backflips on a course around the vert ramp in the center, but my eyes were focused on Tony Hawk and Andy Macdonald. I remember seeing them skate and watching do the sickest doubles and being enthralled.

That era of skateboarding had some great videos - what was one that you used to session a lot in your early days?

 The video that got me most psyched as a youngin’ would have to be Cheese and Crackers with Haslam and Daewon. Innovation, creativity, and comedy were my all-time favorite. 

 

The Santa Cruz team has been pretty prolific in the last few years - travelling, shooting videos, getting new riders, ams turning pro, etc... Is it hard work? How do you feel being on a team that is so busy?

 Santa Cruz has definitely been active the past couple of years, but I am nothing but grateful about it. It can definitely be strenuous on long trips of non-stop 8+ hour days, but you can always rest at home before or after a trip haha. And I am super stoked to have such an active team because of the constant push to skate more spots, get more footage, and in general be the best that I can be on and off the board.

 

On trips do you have a regular roomie or do you switch it up?

I lived with Tom Schaar and Vincent Matheron when I first came out here, shortly after Vince got hurt and had to go back to France for surgery and rehab. After that E Henry Gartland (REST IN PEACE <3) moved in. Henry and I got a spot after and stayed roommates until he passed away. Now I have a one-bed apt but hopefully can find some roommates soon.

 

Where’s the best place you’ve travelled to so far? 

 Argentina was an extremely rad experience as well as Australia, but I think Spain takes the cake.

 

Who can eat the most - Erick Winkowski or you? (Andrew Cannon reckons it’s you but I’ve seen Erick take down some mountains of food ha ha!)

 If it’s Erick versus me in sweets, Erick will win every time. He could eat a 5-gallon bucket of Haagen Daas in one sitting if it wasn’t $5 a pint. But for savory foods I have him beat. I double entree half of the places I eat out.

What kind of music gets you amped to skate?

For me to get amped to skate I’ll usually throw on some rap/hip-hop or anything that really sets the vibe for the day, some jazz or old blues.

 

Which skater(s) inspire you? Who’s really doing it out there these days? 

I have a wide array of skaters that influence me for all types of reasons. I idolize people like P-Rod, Rodney Mullen, Tony Hawk for their contributions to skateboarding and their ability to create companies that succeed in the market of skateboarding by skateboarders. Then there are skaters like Ishod Wair, Grant Taylor, Zion Wright that the ability that they have is so mesmerizing that when I watch footage of them it is truly envious.

 

Thanks Jake!
