MGP Flat SCOOT Finals: Jeremy Beau vs Tommy Christiana

Tommy Christiana blew through all of his competition, and when he finally made it to the Final game, he came ready. That triple heel was just too clean. Jeremy didn't go down without a fight though, and if MGP holds another Flat Scoot contest, I can see these guys meeting again.

Madd Gear Flat SCOOT Game 5 Nick Tedrick vs Tommy Christiana

For game 5 District's Tommy Christiana went up against MGPs Nick Tedrick. Clearly Tommy ain't messing around. Good game, ready to catch the next round of games in the next couple weeks for sure.

Tommy Christiana Web Edit 2

Tommy decided to put it down for his Web Edit 2, and basically just threw bangers all over the place. Not going to lie, I don't even know what some of those park tricks were. But I did recognize some other madness, fingerwhip to fingerwhip down the 3 block, and double whip to smith to triple heel out definitely caught my eye. This is well worth the watch, stoked to see Tommy still killing it.

Tommy Christiana Welcome to District Edit

Tommy has been a killer rider for a long time now, and District recognized that and has added him to their Team. Tommy is one of those dudes who seemingly has no weakness in his game. Flat, Tech, Park, Street. I just love watching this kid ride. Stoked that he is on a legit Team now, hope he gets to travel and expand his riding even more.

Tommy Christiana 2012 Web Edit

Tommy Christiana puttin in work for Brute Wheels and ECX for his 2012 Web Edit. Also had time to catch up with Tommy Boy and get a short interview done.

Tommy boy, what's going on bro?

Not much man just chilling and riding as much as I can!

Nice, nice.  All right so why is it that out of all the ECX homies, you seem to be the least known? It seems like people knew about you when you were just a lil dude, but you kinda fell off the grid once you started shredding hard... if that's not ass backwards, I don't know what is..

I guess I would say the best reason I haven't been getting as much exposure lately is because I haven't had many videos out. My last big one was about 2 years ago and since then the only things I were in were a weekend video and team trips. I also started progressing a lot, and didn't have a filmer for a while.

So from what I've seen, you don't really have a weakness? Seems like you can shred a grindbox, hit rails, sets, gaps, and ride park? Would you say that's true?

Haha yea I guess I could say that's true. I basically enjoy riding everything. Whether its throwing bri flip tricks in park, hitting rails, or getting techy on boxes it's all fun to me. I mean, why should I limit myself to one style of riding?

 Good mindset to have dude. How's it been riding for ECX?

Being on ECX has been, most likely, the best thing that could've ever happened to me. As soon as I got on, they supported me to the fullest by paying contest fees, hooking up parts when I really need them, or taking me on amazing trips all over the place. I couldn't ask for anything else.

Who've you been riding with the past year or so?

The past year I've been riding with a TON of people. Mostly Jon Dev, Evan Barba, Tyler Bell, and a bunch of other of my friends local to me.

Some steezy dudes for sure. How was the filming process for your latest edit?

I'm not going to lie, it's been tough dude. For a while I didn't even have a filmer or camera. After a while I asked Michael pytel to help me out and he gladly did, along with Tyler Bell. They filmed the majority of my video.

Good stuff. You got any riders that you look to for inspiration?

I just look up to anybody who kills it. Basically just everybody I ride with because they push me not only in park, but all aspects of riding.

What do you have planned for 2013 bro?

Hopefully a lot haha. I hope this video will get me more exposure so I can get to travel around the country and just ride everywhere. That's always been my dream.

Any last words, thanks, or shout outs, let em go bro.

I would like to give a huge thanks to Mike Lashbrook from ECX for supporting for the 2 1/2 years I've been on. Couldn't have done it without him. Also all my filmers, friends, and Tyler Bell for editing. And you for this interview haha! Lasts words would be to just keep persevering if you don't get the recognition you want. It'll come with time and practice.

Brute Wheels at ShopECX.com

Tommy Christiana and street killer Logan Fuller recently got sponsored by Brute Wheels, which you guys can get from ShopECX.com. Brute wheels are some of the most underrated wheels on the market today. I've personally rode them, and they are the fastest wheels I've yet to ride. And for only 24.95 + Free Abec 9 bearings, AND a 30 day dehub warranty.. Yeah, it's basically a steal. Check out Tommy's Ad for the wheels below. And expect new Edits from Tommy and Logan soon.

ECX Summer Tour 2011 Edit

Last Summer ECX went on an East Coast Tour hitting up various skateparks along the way. Featured in this edit are OG's Hep Greg, Joey Aria, and Andy Bradford, and they are joined by Maxx Emery, Michael Pytel, Tommy Christiana, Brandon Ruhl, Matt Lashbrook, and Jon Devrind. Everyone delivers, and I was definitely feeling Jon's clips, shreds so hard.

The ECX Team will be going on another Team trip soon when they head to XW 7, so expect another video then.

Happy New Year from ShopECX

Recently the ECX Team took a trip to Maryland to go to the Charm City Skatepark. You get all these guys in one spot, and you end up with a nice edit. I always love seeing Jon's riding. Everyone on ECX shreds pretty hard in their own way. Check out the edit below.

ECX Team Riders Six Trick Fix

Recently some of the riders over at ECX filmed some Six Trick Fix's. Check em all out below. I don't know about you guys, but I'd like to see Jon refilm one, on a nice manual pad or ledge! And where is teh HepGreg?!

3 for 1 Deal; Tommy Christiana, Ben Thomas, and Duane Barber

These are three riders that I am keeping a close eye on. Each for different reasons..


First up is little Tommy Christiana. I say little lightly, because Tommy makes it clear that big things, do in fact come, in small packages. Don't let his size or age deceive you, this kid has a big future in our sport. Check out his latest edit below.

Next up, we got Ben Thomas. I spent about as much time rewinding this video, as he did actually doing rewind combos. As people know by now, I admire all aspects of riding, riders that got huge tricklists are no exception, and Ben has a verryyy nice trick list. Combos, flips, and more fill this video. Check it below.





Last but most certainly not least, is a new rider who I just found out about when he sent in his video, we got Duane Barber. As soon as the video started, I thought I might have something good here, by the time the video ended, I realized I had something great. Duane rides street the way I like riders ride street. He goes fast, he gets creative, and has some nice lines. I think this edit is the first of many from Duane that we will be featuring on Inside-Scooters. Check his video out below.









Thank you to Tommy and Duane who sent in their videos, and to Josh Kersten who sent in Ben's video.

Also, I get a LOT of requests from riders wanting me to feature their videos on ISB. I know that I don't always answer each of your emails, please email me back if you truly believe your video should be featured on ISB. However, please don't email me with videos that you know are poorly filmed and edited... I'm NOT a huge filming or editing critic, so don't take me for one, I'm about the riding, and the potential I see in the rider, but man I've got some pretty bad videos in emails before. All that means though, is keep working on your riding, filming, and editing as a whole! Thanks guys keep emailing these videos at, 1SteveT1@gmail.com
