"FuzZy"

Tom Beaumont

Look into me and my world.....

It isn’t easy being “FuzZy”, few people understand me, they think they know me but they don’t. School was fun, well sometimes; the teachers thought I was lazy but it all just bored me. Get me outside with my mates and I was happy.

 

Longboarding was a new found heaven, all I wanted to do was skate and have fun all over the world, Oooooh but there is a money problem!

 

Went to Collage in Falmouth 3 years ago, it was good not because of that education thing more because Falmouth in Cornwall has loads of hills and of course I hooked up with APOLLO 11.

 

Kev and Sall are like parents to me…hahaha…they give me hell when I slack off…Sorry and a big hug. Hugs resolve all problems. Even Kev goes soft if I keep on enough!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friends are very important and through APOLLO11 and travelling I have met some great people, some famous and others well just real cool Dudes.

                                                    

 

I drive Kev nuts as I am so fussy with what wheels I ride on but if I nag him enough he just says, “for gods sake Fuz just help yourself and lets get to the bowl”. "I can feel a hug coming".

 

Self confidence was a real issue for me but slowly I am getting there. My love life is a nightmare just like trying a new skate trick, I mean a real technical one…Yep I keep falling off.

                                                                                                  

 

                                                          

 

                      

                                                                                                

 

                                                                                               

                                                                                                  

                                                                                                                         

 

 

 

 

 

June 2009 was an amazing month, why? Me and Marcus became Directors of Oceanside Imports and co-owners of APOLLO 11. The work load is not easy but the fun times make it all worth the long hours. I know a "normal" 9-5 job would kill me inside but having control over my future is a bit scary it goes back to that self confidence thing. This is when you find out who your true friends are and the real meaning of, trust, loyalty and respect.

Back to some fun; Downhiil Speed Boards, Carving Longboards, well get off the road and let rip in your local concrete skate park. Longboarding takes on a whole new meaning. Longboarding in a Bowl is just so cool!!

 

Check out some of the Longboards I love

Insect Skateboards    Seismic Skateboards    Blackkross Longboards

"I love skating, Park, Bowl, Downhill Speed and Slalom but street skating is pants"

"Bowl riding is fun and this is my play time". My Mum and Dad are well cool but they would like me to take life a little more seriously..haha..It just ain't giong to happen..Sorry.

After I finished Collage I had several part time jobs to help fund my passion for skateboards but this means getting out of bed on time…Bad news for me “I love my bed”, so that’s why I have had loads of rubbish jobs. Things are different now as APOLLO 11 pays for my Team kit and skateboards and as much travel as possible. Thanxs to Marcus who is a great friend and fellow Team rider he keeps an eye on me and this feels good. 2009 should be a good year for me as I will race in Vancouver Canada and Skate with Skip Engblom and the SMA Team in California for about three weeks not to mention some great action with Bahne Skateboards in Oceanside C.A.
