Alittle something about Jamie Thomas
And why people don't really like how he works
But I still respect Him in a way
But still hate him
Given reading about the garage days thing
And my past experience with Jamie
And people I know that worked with him
In and out of skateboarding
But this is not about the Garage Day Thing
This is just him in a Business Stand Point
In those ways of Him and How He Works
Jamie isn't a bad person
He's just a bad guy to work with he's some what like the W.W.F Meets the Porno Industry
In what he thinks and wants from his compony's and Riders
He wants to get a high level for what he pays for
And he goes for what turns him on
Kill, Kill .,, KILL ... !!!
Large Rails Large Gaps
LARGE SHIT
Like ever clip has to be the money Shot
How it looks how it's filmed
And what is being done in the Clip
Not saying he doesn't allow
He's Riders to have Fun
But he will cut your ass
Fully down on the editing floor like a bitch
And cut your ass out of a project if you don't come thru
On His level of what he's paying for you for or even FLOWING you for
He won't low ball you per say
BUT HE WILL
If You don't perform on Dead Line what is in His Head
What your capable of
He gave up on FIGGY and passed on him just Based
At the time FIGGYS lines and Runs
Weren't Structured Enough
And Really Flat and spaced out to much
In a Since of Bang .BAng .BANG
Chop CHop CHOP
They were more like
trick .......... ............................................TRICK ..........................TRICK
Too Spaced out
Hammer Time but to Spaced out on Film to
Give to the Wham! BAM BOOM BANGERS
Of a ZERO project
Jamie will also Get in People's ears
And per say Hype people up
And say keep pushing you might Get Last part or First part
Or Have a section in the Video and then night of the Premier change his Tone
And you not First or Last your Just in a Montage
Or Even Worse A Premier Cut and then it gets cut out and your a bonus Feature
Or something
If he hears that you have tricks and your saving them from another Projects
He will Push you back exclude from Trips
And leave you at the back Board
He's Very Cut Throat to His Ways
Especially When he Had BLACK BOX Distribution under His Belt
He was throwing People away like Trash
To his Standards
He was trying to Make Skateboarding His Puppet
In a WAY not quite but in a Way yes and No
It was his work and his Blood per say
But he was stringing a lot people around on False hope
He would even kind of bump flow Riders to just Workers in the Warehouse
Or other way around WORKERS in WAREHOUSE to FLOW
But it was just back and Forth with his Games
And Standards he had for you
Even with His Pros
He Still makes them Chase the Carrot
With Every NEW PROJUCT
There Never Really were Set in permanent Position
It's like the
W.W.F Meets The Porno Industry
If you can Sale it
It can Fly
But you Gotta Fly to His Standards
Or it's just gonna Suck
And it's Always Sucking
It's Jamie
people
It's Good
But it's not
A lot of People Have left'ed
And even more Sadly
A lot of People Have never Been Scene
Or have Never been Known that that where in the Cuts of the Maybe
Jud Ferguson
was on the misled Youth Poster
But was basically cut out the main life of the video
But he was a demo Killer and was set as a the demo guy
But Jamie Really Has Him as a Back Burner guy as of getting on the Team going towards
The Dead line of Misled Youth he has a small section after the credits and fun section
Jim Greco
Wanted to have a section in Baker 2G and got in a argument with Jamie about it and Greco
Basically quit on the spot after Jamie Said Jamie doesn't want to give up Footage of Greco for a non Zero Video
Greco Quit Right Then and there and left Zero
While Filming For Dying to live
And Basically Erik Ellington Left to giving the Vibes weren't there with Zero and the Warner Avenue Piss Drunk aka Baker Team Crew was forming at that time
Alex Train wreck Gall
basically Lefted as Well
Given the Warner Avenue Crew was pretty Tight at that Time and bootleg was coming thru as well Grabbing Elissa Steamer and Train Wreck
Sheldon Meleshinski
Was another Person Cut out of Main Project
In New Blood Sheldon had one Trick in the intro of New Blood
And even Had a Part set and Edited but Jamie Held him Back from having a Part in New Blood given to Jamie's standards Sheldon didn't have a Banger Banger
Even Having that Sheldon Meleshinski had One Glass Eye his Left Eye was a
Glass Eye he lost it as a Kid
Jimmy Carlin and Tommy Sandoval
Were on flow For Zero for two Years
And Had to Get Jobs Working in the Zero warehouse Right Befor the Black Box distribution name Change
And still Jamie Kept Jimmy on Hold Till Mystery was Born
Tommy Sandoval
Almost Quit Zero at the End of Filming For Cold War
Jamie would go In Sandovals Ear Tellling him your gonna Last Part For. Cold War
All the way Thru to the Dead Line of Filming telling Sandoval your gonna have last part
Last min Dane Burman Droped a Fat Foot tape off From Filming in the Down Under
Pretty Much with the Double Decker 50 50 in it on the Footy Tape
Pretty much day of the premier Sandoval Was told he Doesn't have last part any more and freaked out and basically Told Jamie day of the Premier he's Quiting
But he didn't after making aDeal With Jaime
night of the Premier Dane Burman had Last part
But when the DVD Droped Sandoval had last part in the DVD Cut
when Mystery started Jamie started plucking people from Zero and putting them on mystery
Like Matt Mumford was gonna Get Plucked from Zero and set into mystery
But he wasn't Feelling mystery so He Quit for Black Label
Putting. Adrian Lopez as the Head Liner for mystery and Adrian Didn't Really Like that responsibility so he left after two and Half Years on mystery.
And then It bumped around a few other people Till Black Box went under in 2014
Basically everybody of the original Slave Team
Was ether Zero Back Burner or Flow Black Box Workers
With Jon Allie as The Head Liner
But even with that Jon Took a Break after the Fall Of Black Box
Jamie was trying to do way to much shit with Black Box Floating
Black widow Bearings
Fallen Footwear
Mystery Skateboards
Slave Skateboards
Insight Surf / Skate clothing
Omit Clothing , a Chris Cole opportunity Company that never picked up
And Threat Skateboards , That Never Picked up
Threat witch Was gonna Be a Power point Price Point Company
Basically a Walmart side hustle Company that never picked up
To try to make extra Ends for Black Box
Jamie and His Ways
Always making People Chase his Carrot
Trying use them as marketing Tools
For the coming seasons
Or Projects
Peace to it
But a piece on Mind as well
To its Ways.
Basically the only people to Really Step away from Jamie
And do something Good is
Ryan Bobier. That is now
Brand Operations
Manager for Nike SB
That's Dope as fuck
The Jud Ferguson Cut Misled Youth Part
