What happened to Jeremy Klein?
« on: May 07, 2020, 08:49:27 AM »
Hadn’t heard of Jeremy Klein in 2 years I believe and now he is all artsy. At one point he had a post up there that was just pictures he took of his dry cleaning reciepts and someone was seriously asking for full prints or scans I’m not 100 percent sure. I understand art is subjective but fuck if dry cleaning slips are considered “art” where is the line drawn?Not that any of this is bad at all but from how Jeremy presented himself  doing things like selling his boards with anamie girl graphics at a korean bbq joints (I’m pretty sure if it wasn’t Korean bbq don’t kill me) to becoming a New York art hipster it just seemed to come out of nowhere

EDIT: I found my answer on this thread. Someone told me I was confusing Jeremy Klein and Jeremy elkin. That is why I thought Klein became a New York hipster.

Up until a couple years ago he was regularly posting clips on IG but now it's just occasional product posts. I wonder if he's still skating as much.

I'm pretty sure he's still in socal just running hookups and jkindustries full time and skating in his free time. He hasnt posted anything in a few weeks, but almost all the decks on both websites are sold out. I would assume he's slowed down production because of the pandemic.

Just bought my Bros a couple decks and sets of wheels for their birthdays. Shipped out quick and even threw in some free stuff. Personally emailed me too thanking me for my order. I see product drops from time to time with shops, if you check the hookups IG tagged posts, hooks ups/jk industries product is out there just seems to do business with select shops. The BBS wood is very good from what I've seen. Might get a Deck myself later on to try.

He’s still ripping as hard as he ever was. And making great boards that are screened at Squeeges. Positively not gone “artsy” just one of the few skaters who never changed who they were since Rubbish Heap. If you go back and read any interviews he’s always been into making things. He was the creative director for Birdhouse for years etc. so back to the drawing board for you. Maybe you’re thinking of Dill?

there's a small legion of anime nerds that hate him, and give him flack in the comments section. This probably why they're off. A lot of early hookups traced(or referenced) from Japanese shit that was more obscure in pre-internet culture. He doesn't want that heat

dream girl, for example, is from the game gear game psychic world... obviously a not well-known game.

In that era a lot of graphics, especially World, were blatant rip-offs.  Hence all the cease and desist letters.

Jermey Klein is the sort of creep that would have been in Epstein’s flight logs.

Nothing, but yet it’s still true. Is there anything more ugh than middle-age white guys?

He was looking fairly proper in that  Greco/Sinko piece a few years back.

A pretty slick Rubbish Heap deck signed by Jeremy Klein.

Where all white STRAIGHT men. If he was homosexual he'd just be tapping into daddy status and getting laid several times a day if that was what he was into.

Sounds like transitioning into a homosexual sometime in your 40s is a good way to tap into life... Noted.

I legitimately didn't know that dream girl was a straight up rip of. 
That's kind of lame and cool at the same time he was able to create an entire company of of biting shit.

Positively not gone “artsy” just one of the few skaters who never changed who they were since Rubbish Heap. If you go back and read any interviews he’s always been into making things. He was the creative director for Birdhouse for years etc. so back to the drawing board for you. Maybe you’re thinking of Dill?
like I said I never knew him on a personal level maybe he has always been this way, he didn’t seem to care too much about east coast skating and hip hop as much as it seems with his new documentary coming out. A documentary complete with a book of pictures from the looks of it and being entered in TriBeCa film festival. Wasn’t he on the west coast during most of that time with world and birdhouse? Yes it seems to mention la too but look at all the names in the video. It is mostly east coast heads including Rosario Dawson but he didn’t live out there.Is all of this combined With him just taking pictures of his dry cleaning reciepts not “artsy”.

Bought a few decks from him the last 2 years. Quality was top notch. Was 100% better than a Traffic deck I had. Mostly 8.25s now. I max out at 8 so yep. But , would buy again

Homophobia
And was bros with Dan Rogers early in Roger's social climbing career. Probably the reason dude was able to be "pro" on Birdhouse.

Klein is problematic. He’s an O.G. World dude who always ripped, went fast and did big tricks, and was homies with Ron Chatman but he also jerks off to anime, lives on candy, is a homophobe, and is somewhat responsible for introducing Greco to the world.
