At about the same time, Tom shifted his popular YouTube channel from “documenting the process of learning trials to now helping to share what I’ve learned to inspire others.”

He also launched his Trials Progression website “to teach real skill development by breaking down techniques into drills and fundamentals in a safe way to learn and keep riders motivated through milestones of achievement.”

Tom will be one of the instructors at this year’s Trials Training Days, working primarily with beginner and intermediate-level riders.
