His influence can be seen in how his son, Grant, skates today. Grant, who has won numerous competitions and is considered one of the best skaters in the world, has often cited his father as his most considerable influence and inspiration.

Thomas's legacy in the skateboarding world goes beyond his accomplishments as a skater.
