RIP Tom Bloomer

[Fart Sounds]

so i don't have any details to offer but i learned today that Tom Bloomer passed away

you might have seen his clip in One in A Million -- i think the first one?
you may have seen his footage in Belly of the Beast, Time Will Tell or a number of other DC-area videos

i met tom the first time i skated freedom, he took me and my brother by a few spots (white steps, that crazy-ass brick gap gonz ollied in real to reel), he was super cool. always skated super fast. anyway, RIP.

Holy shit! Such a bummer... Bloomer, Zach Lyons, and Daniel Kim are some of my favs on the East Coast. I'm super bummed to read this news, I hope his family and friends can get through these tough times. RIP.

[L.S]

He was probably the only OIAM contestant that actually posted on Slap boards for a long time back in the day. I remember being super stoked on his clip in that contest. RIP.

wow what the fuck... just watched his part that six newell posted above me like a day ago. RIP

[god damnit]

total bummer, he was such a cool dude on here. also, that part six newell posted introduced me to guided by voices, one of my all time favorites now. there was something really special about his skating. RIP.

"just look at him!"

I remember when he posted on here ages ago, back when we was kids. I would talk to him on AIM every now and then, I think? RIP, that fucking sucks. He had killer style.

rest in peace tom...he once told me he had stopped skating as much because he had gotten into recording echo effects in tunnels...
