Emerica Europe Introduces Tom Knox:
An Emerica / Blueprint Skateboards collaboration project.
Filmed by Jake Harris edited by Dan Magee.
Oh this insular little island ... how we love it here.
The fleeting summers, those short grey days of winter; only this environment can breed the kind of determination that is prerequisite to skate here.
Tom Knox was born and bred in London, giving him an adaptability and fleet of foot that only this place can provide. The English poet Samuel Johnson once said of the capital city: “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.” Tom certainly hasn’t tired, and now is steadily laying his own “paving of gold” all over this city.
Tom joined the Blueprint family at the same time he joined the Emerica Europe family. It felt good that we believed in the same things. We have both watched as he’s grown into something special, so it just made sense that we collaborate on his part.
Welcome to the EU team, Tom. We’re proud to call you one of our own.
