Hailing from Liskeard in Cornwall, Tom Isted has been a slopestyle rider for many years, but it wasn't until this spring that he bagged his first major podium, at Crankworx Rotorua in New Zealand, where he beat slopestyle icon Nicholi Rogatkin.
Tom then topped that at Darkfest in South Africa, where he shook the establishment with a monster 120ft backflip to become a household name (in MTBing circles, at least) and world record holder. We thought it was about time we caught up with him, for this week's MBUK video...
