Not only that, but for every shoe purchase, Toms will give a pair to a child in need via Friends of Toms. One for one.

Driving cross country to live in a tent in the woods. Hiking the mile up. Living out of your car. Surviving on ramen and beer. Just to shred during the SUMMER. That's dedication. Here's Taka dedicated to a QP. Is that an '09 Automaton snow sword he's wielding? Why, yes it is.

However, an injury to the face which requires surgery thwarted the plans. As much as we all love to shred, there's no shame in sitting the off-season out to heal. 'Cause it's worth it to be able to go full bore during the winters.
