i wonder if Jamie Thomas still appreciates the smaller things in life, like mentos?
nevermind
he posts here
Jamie, do you like mentos?
[close]

i think he definitely appreciates all things skateboarding...


a friend of mine who was am back in the day went to a demo with his now current ex-girlfriend that jamie was skating in.  my friend's gf wanted to get jamie's autograph and made my friend (the former am) stand in line and wait.  when they got to the front of the line, jamie looked up and said to my friend "you're __________.  you had a picture in transworld and you skated for __________". 

the fact that jamie had remembered someone from a photo that was shot at least 5 years prior to this demo from an am that didn't make it to the top of the am-dog pile is impressive.  dude is definitely is a student of the game and loves skateboarding.

i give him props for that.  it made my friend's day.
did he happen to say anything about how much he loves mentos?
Jamie Thomas you are great, do you get stoked when you are walking through the mall and you see like a group of 12 kids all with long hair and bandanas on,wearing fallens, and flanel?

My dad doesn't give two shits about skating, doesn't get it, doesn't take it seriously. One day a few years ago he was in my room using my computer or something as I was watching an old VHS copy of Welcome to Hell. I randomly looked over my shoulder at him during Jamie's part and he was staring at the screen, squinting... mesmerized. I smiled. During JT's last few tricks all my dad could say was, "You gotta be fucking kidding me." The man's skating commands respect.

Probably one the top 3 most influential dudes in skateboarding, with the skills to back it up.  Great businessman too, I mean coming on SLAP when Black Box hate was outrageous, and winning (almost) everyone over?  Genius.  I still love Dying To Live, looking back it's kinda like the Fully Flared of the handrail era, several similarities.

Thrill of it all was my go to video back when I really started skating. Just seeing people push the level of skating the way JT and other did in that video was rad, and the leap of faith is still one of the most epic things, fuck mega ramps, leap of faith was raw, I'd take 1 leap of faith bail over anything on a mega ramp any day.

Jamie's been putting out good video parts since the Toy Machine era. My favorite has to be Misled Youth or Chomp On This. Besides that, he seems to be a chill and down to earth guy who just loves skating.
Jamie, when are you coming through to Atlanta next?

I don't think it's been said yet, but it should.
Jamie skates to damn good music.
