The reality is that most of us just dream of what you’re doing Tom.. **************** happens, few have the cojones to just keep on going after hitting a wall or two.. Don’t beat yourself up too bad!

Keep it coming! Nothing but respect for you sir!

That was VERY cool! What an exciting track that is even just watching. The sound track is like the end of the world but in a good way. That calm before the storm and sound explosion when you get the green gets me every time!

Good video Tom!
