Meet Tom Justice

Tom Justice first rode bikes as a kid, but he picked up a BMX at 16 and was instantly hooked. There wasn’t a single moment when it clicked—he simply went to the skatepark and riding quickly became part of his life.

Tom’s riding style can be summed up in three words: smooth, stylish and tech. He describes his vibe as pretty chilled but always organised when it comes to getting things done. His local scene revolves around the Asylum skatepark, where there’s always someone to catch a session with, and he also rides with an over‑30s crew that includes Dean, Owain Clegg and Martyn Cooper.

Recently Tom finished a video part for Colony that he’s proud of, nailing tricks he’s wanted for a long time. He’s influenced by his peers and by legendary riders he’s looked up to over the years—Sergio Layos, Chris Doyle and Dave Friemuth.

Favourite SCg Shoes

Tom currently rides the SCg Sound shoe. He’s impressed by its durability, slim design and the protection it offers his feet. The Sound looks smart enough to wear on and off the bike.
