What happened to Jeremy Klein?

[your_wifes_xanax]

He’s still lurking around OC. I see him skating the local curb spot every now and then. He’s still got it.

Ran into him at a sushi spot in Irvine and he bought me and my friend shots of sake since my friend was wearing an akira shirt.

Dude was gnar AF. Solid back 3s, boosted ollie's, crazy stunts, and skated to great songs (Cocteau Twins, MBV, Frank Black).

when was this?

Nvm, i think he just posted them in an insta edit or smth. My bad.

Did he ever actually work for Nintendo and Sega and in anime or was that just another made up story?


As far as Jeremy kleins parts go they're still all real good and interesting to see someone's body movements who never really bothered with switch and nollie.

He was a fucking game tester.    Trying to make it sound like he’s a consultant hah

[ok boomer]

Yeah. My brother was a game tester like eh 1998-2004. I think he got mentioned in some game credits and got to try a game for free, believe that was it

[mattchew]

Dude definitely draws anime girls and then jerks off to his own drawings. Pretty sick if so.

There’s no way he draws any of this stuff.

[rawbertson.]

i was a game tester for 2 years, it was actually pretty dope. i liked a lot of the people i worked with. we played smash bros, street fighter, all types of shit on lunch break. also, there were like 3 people hired just to make the lunches every day. the head chef owned a catering business, and everything was served buffet style. It wasn't free but it was so insanely reasonable, it was like $25 a month or something for the meal plan, all you can eat. they also threw dope ass christmas and summer parties with amazing prizes, free booze. I really miss working there.

the pay was not great though. it was not really enough i could save up to buy a house. the job i went to afterwards was almost double...

I love Slap cause someone like JK who's made pretty much his entire career from skating and is still doing it successfully, gets ridiculed. For the past what almost 30 years he's owned the his own company, creates his own graphics and art, still continues to skate, does pretty much whatever he wants. Dude doesn't kook it with wack brand endorsemensts or beg for sponsorships like many other aging pros do and lives on the downlow.

i love slap cause someone with a Don Vito avatar can think criticism of all of the kook shit associated with jeremy klein can be invalidated because he runs a company and still skates. and he doesn't create his own graphics, a lot of the hook-ups graphics are by sean cliver or ripped off from anime/manga.

You're right, he doesn't kook it with whack brand endorsements, but instead chooses the road less traveled and does it with extremely poor taste graphics. I thought that shit was questionable when I was like, 12.

I also thought the aesthetic was lame growing up. Hook-Ups seemed like graphics for horny nerds and I always kinda laughed at their boards. However, as a lot of us know, anime is all the rage among this generation and has been for like 10 years. And as horny and nerdy as it is, JK hasn't changed anything he's been doing and it's still successful. I've never thought about buying a Hook-Ups board in my life and I'm not sure I ever would in the future.

But I mean, dude was in The End on fire with Heath. Hangs with current Greco. Dresses pretty cool and looks good on a skateboard. Anime porn isn't my deal either, but the dude seems cool / interesting.

And what company in skateboarding history doesn't rip-off old shitty past advertisements, corporation logos, cartoons, literally everything is taken from somewhere else. Even Quasi has a recent board out that looks like a Dill collage that looks like Dash Snow art

Everything in skateboarding is borrowed. Nothing wrong with that.

I mean even Quasi is just AW whole aesthetic diluted and repeated.

AW being one of the only truly original brands.

Ever wake up one day and think to yourself “today is the day I vouch for a guy whose career was made from jacking off to hentai”

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

I don’t think anyone on here is really denying his skills on the board, his legacy, nor the fact that he runs a brand out of his garage. Hell, even Mike V has those three things under his belt too and he’s not exempt from criticism.

JK’s robot girl deck was iconic at the time, but being an openly homophobic weaboo well into adulthood is just not a good look; some things should just be left behind in your teenage years!

[Wienerboy]

According to an IG story, Jeremy Klein was took Tony Hawk and Steve Berra out to Korean BBQ in the last few days. Thought it was funny that he was hanging with the likes of Steven.

Being friends with Steve Berra, at one end of the spectrum of skateboarding and also being friends with Greco, almost at the opposite end.

fuck that guy

A few years ago he was hard posting reviews of generic candy on Instagram. I could picture the writers for “criminal minds” using Jeremy’s life as inspiration for an episode of him devolving into something more heinous than he is and trying to use some Twinkie defense shit in court

what happened to Jeremy Reeves?

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

Still out there being a homophobic weeb

True.

And at the same time I'd imagine he has drawn up some graphics at home of petite anime girls with giant breasts and a giant hog.

Last time I heard of him he had teamed up with his brother Calvin and were working on revolutionary new fragrances

[Wienerboy]

Hahaha love the idea of a new Hook Ups graphic with a giant anime tittied girl with a giant dongus. Can someone mock that up please?

Seeing him with Berra lost points for him from me. And of course his homophobia but I wanted to think he just said that type of bullshit when he was young.

back in Minnesota working as a chef, kills the park on weekends. best of dudes!
