I thought he was riding for C1RCA combat and Zero. I know he had to get a 3rd knee surgery or something along those lines...

A back noseblunt with one eye has to be one the greatest things ever done on a skateboard.

Dude should have been pro by now. Riding for Zero, with eye patch and you skate handrails. The marketing for this is a no-brainer.
Shame on you Jamie.

I always like the intro to this part. I wonder if we'll see more from this guy he's real good.

Apparently his knee surgery went wrong, defective screw or something.

This is the last footage I've seen of him. He got added to the Antisocial team a couple years ago, if they are still planning on making a video this year I bet he will have some stuff in it.

They probably want him to move to or stay extended lengths of time in America to get coverage. That's what most Canadians have to deal with to move up. Obviously there is exceptions,  but his window probably closed by now from the knee and lack of coverage. Zero is probably on to the next young buck to market and help the brand become more relevant again.Sucks that that is how it works, I would love to see some one eyed ripping! Hope he is on anti social and they have another awesome video

Ahh, I stand corrected. It definitely wasn't on the original DVD cause I used to watch that shit every day when it came out. Love that video.

Wish I would've never let my Ex's nephew borrow it, along with a few other great videos. Dumb move, ZEBRA.

he told the story an an old Am Issue of Transworld, I can't remember it though.

How did you lose your eye?

My mom or my aunt saw some shit in my eye when I was two years old and that's how it came about.

So that's why they took it out?

Yeah, they just ripped it out 'cause it looked sketchy.

I'm pretty sure that he said in an old interview that he had a cancerous growth on his eye, and that it had to be taken out to keep that shit from spreading.  Not DEFIANTLY sure, but pretty damned sure if memory serves correct.

Always dug that New Blood bonus part along with the raw footage. Window has closed on him going pro, sadly.

That Cariboo footage was fucking sick though.

That's good he's at least getting compensated, it was a pretty shitty deal with the knee. Forgot about the Street Demon thing, that should be good.

If I'm not mistaken, Dan Murphy is also mostly blind in one eye. You now have two heroes!

Rad you kept skating.

that's crazy i had no idea, whats even crazier is that dude jumps down giant shit all the time, I feel like one of the difficulties of skating with one eye is real bad depth perception. I pretty much avoid jumping down shit cause its hard for me to tell when I'm gonna hit the ground unless I do it enough times to get used to it....crazy

C'mon, man, why you gotta get in the way of my work to make "defiantly" the new "of"?
