We're skipping the usual Q&A list here will tell you something about the third rider from Aarle-Rixtel to get a cover of a main BMX magazine. The youngster has been turning heads wherever he went to and for good reason. His riding is a mix of Mike Aitken, Chris Doyle and we're spotting a bit of Daniel Wedemeijer lines in his riding. Wedemeijer has actually been a push for Tom to ride more. Ever since Daniel moved from Amsterdam close to 040BMXPARK it gave the 18 year old rider from Aarle-Rixtel someone to ride with at a high level. 040BMXPARK is where you find Tom often. It takes him an hour to get there as he rides his bike to the train station in Helmond, takes the train to Eindhoven and then walks over to the park for a session. He's got his bike stored there most of the time which makes it easier to do the traveling back and forth.

Tom is only 18 and doesn't have his drivers license yet so he relies on others to take him or uses Holland's public transport to go to

You've been in The Netherlands for a week now. What's the best thing you ate while you were here?
Drew Bezanson: I've been introduced to Stroopwaffles and they are amazing! Before finishing my first one, I ordered a second.

You've ridden a few indoor places. Which one did you like most?
Drew Bezanson: I've had the opportunity to ride Sweat Shop, Skate Land and 040BMXPARK. 040BMXPARK was definitely my favorite. Lots of wall rides and sub boxes that you don't see much of anymore. Definitely my style of park.

You've ridden with some Dutch talent the last few days,

An opportunity came up to have Dean riding for Haro UK earlier in 2015 and I couldn’t help to think it was a perfect fit. Dean is a unique rider keeping the big airs in BMX and he also has legit bar-spins that not many people do these days with new school bus-driver’s being all too common, he’s a nice and respectful guy and he’s a pleasure to watch ride.
