Who is Tom Schaar? Well this will probably be the last time that question will ever be asked. Schaar is a Malibu, California native, Born September 14th ,1999 at age 14 is the 2nd youngest X Games Gold Medal winner. This Skateboarding phenom is landing tricks not even Shaun White can pull off. He is the youngest to ever land a 900 and the first to land a 1080. Which evidently pained off because that was the trick that earned him the Gold Medal in Austin Tx yesterday.
Fellow competitor Bob Bergquist said at 5'3 he's a spinning machine and he can't wait to learn some new stuff from him.
Tom says when he's not skating he's surfing with his older brother John or buying new boards with the money he wins from his competitions.
This young man is definitely one to watch out for I have a feeling we will be hearing his name a lot in the years to come.
