Earlier this year, Airborne’s Tommy Zula loaded up the van and headed to San Diego to work an industry trade show for System Cycle Supply. In addition to being a pro rider for both Airborne and DK Bicycles, Tommy is also an in-house sales rep at our distributor, System Cycle. A true triple threat!
Since he was already out on the west coast, Tommy took advantage of the weather to prep for the 2020 season, linking up with his buddies to shred some trails and ride new spots. Tommy’s main goals for this year are to defend his pump track world title and to mix it up with the world’s best mountain bikers on the Crankworx World Tour. 2020 is already off to a great start for Tommy with another huge pump track win at Crankworx Rotorua.

Speed and style flowing on his Toxin 29. The Toxin is Tommy’s everyday go-to MTB.

Typical TZ fashion: Toboggan over the fence exiting the pump track.
Tommy would like to send out a special THANK YOU to all of his sponsors for the continued support and keeping it fun!
