Tom Hyser was born into the quad culture of the rinks around Atlanta and went from rink rat to skate rat. His family's move to the Midwest was life-changing when he first discovered inline skating. Tom is an original X Gamer, a product visionary whose designs have sold millions of units, an internet pioneer, and through it all he’s lived the struggle of being an inline skater.
