What happened to Jeremy Klein?

Jeremy's been a favourite of mine since his World days.
One of the best fuck you/I don't care attitudes.
Always makes me laugh, seeing a van with the dash on fire run over large trees.
Best Fastplants, ever.
He likes making nice skateboards, with silk screened graphics that look amazing and skate amazing.

Hi Jeremy

We're all a little Jeremy.

[Tear Up a Trick]

I just remembered that Jerry Hsu said his favorite Asian skater of all time is Jeremy Klein.  So that's worth something.

[BobbyPshew]

I have love for almost anyone who truly does not give a shit what other people think about them and you can't knock his skating.
That edit he did with Greco was cool, too.

[Noble Experiment]

That interview just screams “2001”.
Also his part in “The Beginning” is still one of the worst parts of all time.

Well, his haircut does.
Oh come on, there are dozens upon dozens of parts worse than 'The Beginning'.
Tough to follow up 'The End', it was always going to be lesser than, but still a good part.
Dude was in his what, mid 30's? Back then?

Was he the first person to ollie the Carlsbad gap?

[givecigstosurfgroms]

I hope they put on his gravestone (after a long happy existence)      "Great skater - he was no Willy Santos, but he was a great skater"

[Tear Up a Trick]

Was he the first person to ollie the Carlsbad gap?

I was wondering same thing.

I think he was the first to flip out?  Of a noseslide?  But he did it as a joke or something?

Also his backside smith on a handrail in Rubbish Heap was so far ahead of its time he must have used a time machine.

Love his skating, amused that he is essentially the same skate rat / video game nerd / candy eater that he's been for 30+ years, but he comes across perhaps challenging

Did Jeremy ever do any Evangelion decks? I would buy one

Felt like he was always just taking graphics from the Gundam style

Hookups honestly feels kinda fake sometime with its preferred anime art style and what it uses, like it's some old american guy cosplaying as a weeb

[dooley]

He definitely fornicates with plushies.

Greco needs to just film their conversations

[Hyliannightmare]

I've wanted to pull the trigger on his megaman deck for forever

Had the 8.0, best deck I've had in a long time

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.

[close]

Didnt know that. Super cool

no Jeremy is a bitch about it. It is because people mention he stole his logo. I saw someone ask why his comments were off on older posts so I mentioned this mans theory and was blocked.

At the beginning of this thread you didn’t know the difference between Jeremy Elkin and Jeremy Klein. Of course he blocked you. You’re an idiot.

[FrenchFriedClownFingers]

i dm'd him asking if he might have any old deadstock shirts but he never got back to me. i really think it's lame that he never made it into a legit board company with a full team. 

i wanted to get a hookups board again but he doesn't make them in 8.3.8

I found the Rei decks

I can't express in words how much I hate the look of those decks,  jesus christ....

So tacky and distasteful

since when does dyslexia mean you are an idiot? Also all I did was comment saying he probably turned off comments because people call him out about tracing a graphic. How would that indicate that I am stupid enough to block? You are saying I’m so dumb of course I was blocked because I confused Jeremy Klein and Jeremy elkin but he had no way of knowing that himself so I don’t see why he would block me for that. Are you Jeremy? Lol

About 5 years ago he asked what kind of Hook-Ups apparel would people buy. I said I’d for sure buy a Hook-Ups 5 panel hat. Then he absolutely fucking lost it. I come back to 3 paragraphs about how he hates 5 panels and they’re ruining the industry, yadda yadda, as if his shitty thermal prints do anything to contribute. Mind you this is when Huf is fucking massive and 5 panels are everywhere. You can see why this guy is choked. Then fucking Jeremy Wray chimes in and calls me an idiot so I unfortunately had to call the legend out on his shitty Wray Bro’s brand. My back was against the wall and two legendary Jeremy’s had me cornered (thankfully not Ron Jeremy), so I had no choice but to block them because they continued with paragraphs as responses.

Post screenshots

I was on a team playing against Jeremy Wray in skate trivia. One of the rounds had photos and mag covers with the skater cut out. His team got the answer wrong or one of them, and the correct answer was “Jeremy Wray”. I’ll never forget that

Wray Bros still around? Really sad to see J.Wray and Pat Channita looking out of shape stomping out mediocre park footage.

I’m trying to find it. Dude has 1400+ posts and it was literally almost 5 years ago

[sonny sharrock]

Heard he was working at Nintendo Power

Jeremy did work for Nintendo Power at one point in the 90's. They used to have a phone line that you'd call if you needed tips on how to beat games and he was one of the operators giving these tips for NES games.

I vaguely remember this, or the topic anyway.

Are 5 panel hats still in existence?  Is the industry?  He might have had a point.

5 panels were replaced by bucket hats, then dad hats took over

He's  disabled  all comments  on instagram.  My guess is he kept getting  harassed by sissies bitching  about objectifying women in graphics or some stupid shit.

[close]

more like he got sick of blocking every single person that might have said something remotely non-Hetero. Our very own Tae owned him so hard in the comments one time that I chuckling to myself for days...

[close]

Shit do you have a screenshot of that?

I’d doubt he kept the comment up for long, but I did keep a copy of it for SLAP lore:

“Hugging Steve Caballero isn't gay. Okay, think about it like this; people are made up of 3D atoms, and when you die your 3D atoms go off and become other things. This means that every girl would most likely be made up of 3D atoms that were once in a dude, so if you bang her you are technically banging a dude, and that's fucking gay. Which is why I stick to your 2D anime artwork Klein, because women should embody the spirit of the Yamato Nadeshiko type of character. Loyal, obedient and always happy to see you 💯💯💯"
