Thomas Hancock 26″ Memorial Edit

When Thomas Hancock tragically passed due to a car accident a few weeks ago, I contacted Don Hampton and DH Productions because he was the only person in the world with footage of Thomas riding 26. 
Don was happy to donate his time and energy in putting together the last 26″ footage we will ever see of Thomas Hancock doing what he does best… having fun riding bikes and making it look GOOD!
Take a note from Thomas and from time to time remember to…
“Live Life Recklessly…”

Mike Lakin’s & Orange “Y”

Thomas Hancock… You Will Be Missed

Today we lost another amazing life far too young with potential unrealized… Thomas Hancock was one of my closest friends, someone I had logged literally 1000’s of roadtrip miles with and if you’ve ever crossed the state of Texas with someone more than once, you know each other. We had, we did.
We once coasted close to 100 miles on a desolate Utah highway with the low fuel light on and somehow willing the fumes to last until we found gas… Good times and great memories.
You will be missed Thomas…
Our condolences and prayers go out to Thomas’ family.
