Where's Thomas?

I may be out of the loop or maybe missed a post, but it seems like Thomas Horrell has been out of the limelight for quite some time without even an update of where he's at or what he's doing? I just feel bad that the first pro rider to ever decide to quit strapping and take something in its infancy to a sport that is almost bigger than where it came from has fallen off the radar. I thought I heard last time that he was in Miami or something but I think someone like alliance should give him some coverage or an update. Anyone know? Thomas? Esnow?

Lollar, is he still wakeskating? And why doesn't anybody seem to want to get him back at the heart of the sport? I think it would be great if he came back and started collaborating with alliance or something.

Maybe he doesn't want to be in the "heart" of the sport?

uidzero, I'm not trying to bring the guy any unwanted attention, and I know that if Thomas does something he does it right. I'm just saying that it's odd that we don't ever hear that much from him any more. He has pretty much dropped out of the media since NARLA.

He is busy getn ready to re-launch Cassette. Well in my dreams i suppose, and in this economy anything of the sort would seem impossible. Sad

He still rides, in Miami.

And just opened up a bike shop.

He's just doing his own thing, which is rad.

gatorskater, it's thomas' choice completely to be where he is and I think he's the happiest (and truest) for it. he's seriously a creature of re-invention and I can't think of another person who's better at genuinely following his heart and doing what makes him happy. As others said, he started keirin cycles with a friend in miami, and it's a pretty big deal.

Hopefully you saw the profile of thomas the standerd quarterly had in issue 1.4. That's basically been the most major piece of media to feature thomas to date, and it's well worth it to pick it up. There are lots of classic images in there.
