Title: Jeremy Klein
Post by: SixofSeven on July 16, 2006, 09:24:42 AM
has anyone actually seen him skate in person? I'm amazed he's still pro after not doing shit for awhile. His day in the life  for 411 sucked big ass and the only trick I can actually remember him doing in it was an ollie over a trashcan. He had an interview on Tom Green's shitty online show about a month ago and said something like "It takes me so long to shoot a part for a video because these little pricks these days are too good. And I am inconsistent while they are consistent." Funny guy but he does some pretty shitty graphics

I'm inclined to agree, although in his interview he talked about littering, i know thats how he is but just bummed me out. he is who he is though, and the dude is/was fucking gnarly.

How dare you put that assholes name in the same line as Gonz, where as Gonz comes though with rad video parts Klein has a whole video of nothing but acting stupid and "destroying america". Klein's model should have been retired in the 1990's he hasn't done  a good part since the first birdhouse videos (well maybe the first HookUp's video Asian Goddess) and now is a bitter asshole.
Fuck him.

Shows how rad Gonz still is at skating, nothing wrong with skits but when a whole video is nothing but skits it is called a gimmick to make money.
Did you watch all the bonus Gonz parts? In all that time how many good parts did Klein put out?

to me gonz's part in kk was a skit.

i like kleins rubbish heap, feasters, ravers and transworld (uno?) parts. the only gonz part i like is videodays.

trudat
I also agree that his part in KK was more of a skit with a purpose: to exemplify the concept of skating "krooked": weaving in and out of city traffic: pedestrian, motor vehicle, and otherwise.
Unfortunately, the rest of the video does not embody this concept very faithfully, it's mostly single-trick clips edited to match the beat.
Someone, I forget who (Tim Gavin?) was going to do a video of great street skaters skating for blocks and blocks.
Chet's Back in Black part was more krooked than Corpsey's. Sorry.

everything happens for a reason.

some of that trash may have been picked up and made into poor quality skart by a certain mr puleo ushering in a new breed of pretentious skateboarders everywhere who will then make posts on message boards dismissing kleins years of groundbreaking skating because he has bad manners and is a litterbug.

the circle is complete.

I met him at Skate Camp in 91 and he was a kook.  I bought a brand new World Klein deck off of him for $10.  Ron Chatman drove up to Visalia that year.  Before he left, he raided the old World warehouse and stole ~300 decks to sell in Visalia.

What i don't get about Birdhouse is that, the team used to be totally bonkers, so i guess Baker, but you had this team of nutters and then the comp vert side of it, then you have Kline who's been there and has a model but it's just due to being a partner in the company - he's been shit for years now, after 10 years hang up the board no one cares.

At least Willy Santos can still actually skate, and skate well, Jeremy on the other hand, just give it up, at least when Tim Gavin milked it for so long it was funny, really funny cas Daniel could have had a board out instead of someone who blatanly stopped skating hahaha

But yeah Vegan i'm with you on this, he was good, i was so stoked on Rubbish Heap, i loved his section, when he focuses Mullen's board and gives him a new one, that was actaully sort of funny, but now, he's just a fucking joke. . .

It would be funny for him to do some of that shit over here, we could take him to some shitty area where the McDonalds staff would just beat the shit out of him and steal the phone, and that would just be a manager

I can't get away with any of that shit at 25...
Kline had a photo of him dropping in on that bank over the stairs that Drehobs skates in the japan part of the Krooked Dvd. When his interview came out where he talked about litering and shit, everyone thought he was a kook, and seriously that was like when I was a junior in High school, and like I said, I'm 25 now.

I thought he started it with Hawk and can't remember the freestylers name, but someone else and he does all the graphics, as for Hook-Up that's all him.

Anyway Gonz still actually produces footage of skating and not just nose picks, which i believe Kline's been doing for the last 10 years.

Basically i'm not really a Gonz fan but his "antics" are bullshit but he keeps his "wackyness" to himself

Kline on the other hand has to pick on the less fortunate to make him feel better about himself, so i guess he was picked on at school and an only child, therefore feels a need to "attack" anything that's less than what he see himself

Anyway he was rad now he's just a dick for the sake of being a dick, Gonz gets to be cookie because he always has been

ok.

so, jeremy klein acts like a kid, does dumb unfunny stuff and sponsors himself = bad.

gonz acts like a kid, does dumb unfunny stuff and sponsors himself = good.

Dude get off of Klein's nuts, I understand you still sleep with your copy of asian goddess, but come on if you can't see the difference between Gonz and him I feel really sorry for you.

Gonz is just  who he is, I have meet him more then once and he is not "acting".
Klein is a just a mean sprited person, who goes out of his way to get "attention" for being "crazy" and not caring.

i really can't, they were both influential years ago, they both dropped one or two seminal video parts and then followed them up with a series of increasingly mediocre ones.

now they both run gay companies and get more coverage for their dumb antics then their skating.

gonz does art and klein likes porn..is that the difference?

Actually you never hear about Kline however Gonz is forced down everyones thoats constantly, remember he's REALLY influencital ! ! !

So was Mike Smith, Chris Miller, Jovante Turner, Sean Sheffey Neil Blender, etc, but do you see them every time you open a magazine

Touche (sp?), I have never meet him and I am sure if I did he would make fun of me for being vegan and I would end up punching him in his face and he then would use his ninja skills and beat me up.

So what is wrong with that? If it wasn't for him (and Natas) skateboarding wouldn't be what it is today, he single handly took skateboarding to a level that no one person has. everyone of us owe him thanks.

It doesn't matter when it came out, it's still fresh to this day. It's hard to understand why someone doesn't find him rad. Those dudes Donnie mentioned don't skate anymore or rarely skate. That's why they never get mentioned except by the guys who skated when they were influential (and Ginonix). Gonz is still pro and keeps putting out rad parts and new tricks, and he's been doing it since what, 1986? So fuck the principle and enjoy some original skating from someone who still has the drive to progress after 20+ years.

I started in 1985 and the first magazine I saw had a Gonz how to ollie section where he was doing an ollie over a small street gap.
Now to understand what it was like at the time most pros couldn't ollie up curbs back then, let alone over a gap. And now this many years later he is still skating at a amazing level, his Krooked part has some fucking rad tricks.

I'll like and respect Gonz in the way that if you like basketball you have to respect Michael Jordan. I understand they're different sports and whatnot, but they're both legends. In a similiar way that an NBA fan who hasn't seen Jordan play can't really understand his influence, I wasn't around back circa Video Days so I can't really fully understand his influence now. Its not I guess that I dont like him, more that I prefer others.

The main difference between Gonz and Klein's kookiness is that Gonz isn't meanspirited, and just kinda does his own crazy thing, whereas Klein is just being an arrogant asshole. I wouldn't call Gonz an arrogant asshole, but it fits Klein. Huge difference. As for Gonz's skating, his shit has been epic since video days. That wasn't his last amazing part, contrary to popular belief. Watch his part in "Kicked out of everywhere," that may be his best part ever. Honestly, if you watch a Gonz part 5 years after its made, the shit you thought was just him being crazy and wierd back then, will blow your mind today.  Gonz may not have the most raw talent, but he has an eye and a brain for skating that is always leaps and bounds ahead of the curve. Its like Rodney pulling 360 flips in the 80's. Nobody knew what to make of it then, but now we realize how epic his shit was. Jeremy Klein on the other hand, his shit was really good, but its cooled off a while ago. I can see bonelesses coming back after krooked kronichles. Also, Gonz has a whole bunch of other sponsors besides the board company he runs.
I agree that Chris Miller doesn't get as much respect as he deserves, but it might have to do with the fact that he skates vert.
For the last decade, Gonz's part in Real to reel is quite good, and I really enjoyed the shit he did in the 4 star video. As for tricks he invented, its hard to say. He's really just doing his own thing. In the krooked video I remember him doing a stalefish boneless to lipslide down a handrail. I'm pretty sure thats a first. If you think about it, its an insane trick too, something that I don't think somebody would have done anyway if he hadn't, but his parts are full of crazy, out there shit that nobody has or will do ever. One thing you gotta realize though is that Gonz takes risks with the coverage he puts out there. Sometimes the shit you see of him is lame, but other shit is mind blowing. There's nothing cool about nosepicks over and over again.

i would say gonz is definitely arrogant, his company and their video are completely based on his personality. he must think it's a pretty great personality to have done that.

i think it was just a regular boneless.

i have no beef with gonz, i think he was at least as important to the development of skating as natas, mullen, hawk, howell, klein, vallely et al.

Ok everyone needs to have a look at the video thread and have a look at the footage i posted of Gonz IN 1987 THEN YOU'LL SEE HOW FAR AHEAD HE WAS

Ok i've never been a Gonz fan, i perfered Natas, he was a street skater, he seldom had ramp parts (until him and Jim did the mini-ramp section) he always had street parts, every other rider had ramp parts, the nearest ramp to me when i started was 3 hours away and when you're 13 and jsut starting going there isn't happening.

Anyway my point is, i perfer Natas.

Gonz had been banging out the same stuff footage wise (just now on a long board) since his last section in the Real video, so what's that like 7 years ?

I'll watch it, hence posting so much Gonz stuff as of late (because other people like it and not sharing is selfish, even if i don't like it myself), but i'm just not a Gonz fan.

As sacreligious as it might sound, in Video Days, Mariano, Richter, Johnson and Lee had parts that i thought were fucking amazing and i watched and watched a million times but Gonz nah - didn't really care for it, sorry fast forward him, never really felt him or his style, but hey, that just me, some people don't like peanut M&M's is do it's personal taste

However he's keep skatign and never really stopped and that's what rad about him, i just don't like his wackyness or style that much

Hawk's influence is limited to vert skating, Mullen did tricks standing still, where as Gonz and Natas took them and made them rolling tricks.

The main difference between Gonz and Klein's kookiness is that Gonz isn't meanspirited, and just kinda does his own crazy thing, whereas Klein is just being an arrogant asshole. I wouldn't call Gonz an arrogant asshole, but it fits Klein. Huge difference. As for Gonz's skating, his shit has been epic since video days. That wasn't his last amazing part, contrary to popular belief. Watch his part in "Kicked out of everywhere," that may be his best part ever. Honestly, if you watch a Gonz part 5 years after its made, the shit you thought was just him being crazy and wierd back then, will blow your mind today.  Gonz may not have the most raw talent, but he has an eye and a brain for skating that is always leaps and bounds ahead of the curve. Its like Rodney pulling 360 flips in the 80's. Nobody knew what to make of it then, but now we realize how epic his shit was. Jeremy Klein on the other hand, his shit was really good, but its cooled off a while ago. I can see bonelesses coming back after krooked kronichles. Also, Gonz has a whole bunch of other sponsors besides the board company he runs.
I agree that Chris Miller doesn't get as much respect as he deserves, but it might have to do with the fact that he skates vert.
For the last decade, Gonz's part in Real to reel is quite good, and I really enjoyed the shit he did in the 4 star video. As for tricks he invented, its hard to say. He's really just doing his own thing. In the krooked video I remember him doing a stalefish boneless to lipslide down a handrail. I'm pretty sure thats a first. If you think about it, its an insane trick too, something that I don't think somebody would have done anyway if he hadn't, but his parts are full of crazy, out there shit that nobody has or will do ever. One thing you gotta realize though is that Gonz takes risks with the coverage he puts out there. Sometimes the shit you see of him is lame, but other shit is mind blowing. There's nothing cool about nosepicks over and over again.
[close]

i would say gonz is definitely arrogant, his company and their video are completely based on his personality. he must think it's a pretty great personality to have done that.

i think it was just a regular boneless.

i have no beef with gonz, i think he was at least as important to the development of skating as natas, mullen, hawk, howell, klein, vallely et al.
Whos personality should he have based his company on? Or should he have just done it based on marketting research like Nike?
Its good to hear that you have no beef with the Gonz. It sounded like you did, but I'm glad that even if you thought you did you came to your senses. I do think that the only guys up there as legendary as Gonz are Natas, Mullen, and Hawk, those guys are like our forefathers or some shit. Somebody needs to make Mount Skatemore.

Since it was brought up though, I do think Natas deserves more love than he gets. That ON video with him is off the hook. My favorite profile they did by far.

Designarium?  Seemed like a waste to produce limited edition decks which aren't really meant to be ridden but that's just me.  Besides most of the guys from Element when he got on are gone and the rest of them got owned by him with parts he filmed before they were born.

Either way it's better to bow out early and leave people wanting more rather than have them constantly griping on how they're milking it.

Got ditched just before 411 got bought over, basically it was a really good attempt to relaunch 411 into something that it had been - interesting

But sadly the "youth" never really bought into it, it was simply the older skaters hence the topics, anyway it didn't make enought money and got ditched.

So all we really have it memories

Read it again moron. I said there should be a book with all that shit. Not that you shouldn't be allowed to skate without it. I brought it up. my point was that there is a lot of cool skate history that people will probably start forgetting about if nobody does something. I think it would be cool if somebody wrote a history text on skateboarding. It actually has more to do with my history nerd status than my skate nerd status, but it kinda sits in a nice happy medium. I'm not the only one who thinks that the book would be a good idea. I saw a press release somewhere that said there is a book in the works highlighting important places, events, and people in skateboarding. So it can't be THAT bad of an idea. You know, just something that a kid can read instead of dealing with messageboard assholes to learn about skating.  And is murdo really a bad guy? last I checked he was just some Scottish dude who was waaaay into puppies.

Did you actually read anything in this thread or just pick up the last part - read that then post some pish, that's what it looks like to me, anyway whatever.

I "USED" to think Kline was fucking amazing, but "NOW" i think he's a dick, seriously if you worked a shit job - that you knew was shit - would you like an asshole treating you like shit and filming it so make you feel worse about yourself and him to make himself feel like he's better than everyone else in life ?

I think the answers no, but if you think there's a need for people like that, i hope some people come into your work treat you like shit for no reason and make you feel worthless as they film it, then you can watch yourself looking like a twat on the internet.

Basically before Klein turned into a complete arse i liked him as a skater and his "funny" antics, however now he's a prize arse, who'd like to be like "Bam" but can't be because it's all already been done and he was in the wrong time at the wrong place.

Actually i'm not even interested in his life as i'll never meet him, and nothing he does will ever effect me, i'm disappointed i've actually wasted this much time on it, i guess he's "won" in that case

Ohh yeah and of course why would i need friends outside the internet, when i have all my "in" joke here, anyway i'm happy you feel better about yourself and now you can go and play with your "real" friends in the "outside" world - like anyone really give a fuck
