Anyone know the story of Jamie Thomas getting banned from Thrasher for a while, getting kicked off of all DLX products and basically not being skater of the year? I heard it had something to do with him fucking someones wife or girlfriend.

As the story goes, it was Tommy G's better half.

I would enjoy knowing more about this.

I knew I could count on you for an epic tale!

Didn't like Heddings & Pigpen used to smoke crack on those 151 tours?

i wouldn't doubt it but i don't have any good secondhand accounts. a long time ago i worked at yellowstone and my boss was a portland skater so if i wanted to fuck off for a little bit i'd ask him for a pigpen story or something and he always delivered. i don't think he knew heddings as well since he moved to san diego so long ago. there usedta be a couple deaf skaters at burnside, the black kid ripped but apparently he ran to ATL to avoid a rape charge.
then brent atchley told us a story about 'deaf tom' he was taking a shit at a bar and passed out on the toilet. when he awoke the bar was closed so he just started drinking. the cops come and yell at him to stop and comply but he's deaf so he keeps drinking. then they beat the living shit out of him so he's got a lawsuit against portland PD.
those deaf tranny dogs, always up to no good!

it's deaf paul, not tom

Heath Tale

I think its talked about in the Mindfield booklet?

On a road trip to film for the video they were really hyped on doing cliff jumps and they would try and hit a new one almost daily. One day they start talking about how gnarly it would be if someone didnt eye it up first before they jump and just went for it. No looking to see where its shallow and deep, no looking to see if there are any rocks to avoid below, but just fucking run and jump.

So they kick that idea around for a couple days and then...

One day while they are walking up to a new cliff jump that had a straight but narrow path, a determined Heath, whom was walking in the back of the pack, flew by everyone on the trail just as they were about to reach the cliff AND FUCKING JUMPED IT. First time ever there and
jumped off this cliff without looking.

One time i had a full on conversation with Jereme Rogers on Instagram of me messing with him saying he doesn't have swag and raps to gain many bitches. His replies were awkward and it seemed like he tried to seem intelligent. I don't remember it much for it was 1 and a half years ago, but i just remember him replying and being a kook in his replies. But then again i did deserve it although i was basically just trolling.

Not legendary but thought i would share.

This is more about a certain pro being a legendary douchebag.  So a friend of mine and his gf are at Black Bar (Atiba's bar in LA) when a pretty intoxicated Richie Jackson approaches them.  So they have a few more drinks together, my friend is really into all that circus-y shit so he's loving it.  Last call rolls around and as my friend is leaving to head to a party, Richie jumps in the car with them.  Not wanting to tell him no, they end up bringing Richie Jackson to this party where he walks right in, opens up the wine cabinet of the homeowners, and drinks a bottle of some top shelf shit.  When approached about the liquor poaching, the pirate simply responded "if you didn't want this kind of stuff to happen, you shouldn't have people over."  What a cock smooch.

A few gems from Shorty's Steve Olson.

1) Doesn't "believe" in paying taxes.
2) Once signed over an entire months pay/royalties to the Hare Krishna's next door to his house.
3) Once saw him take the slam of a lifetime on a triple kinked rail straight to his back on the rail.  Thought dude was dead.  He proceeded to put his hands together and basically started to bust out a backspin on the ground.  Got back up, waxed his board and made it next try.  Most insane thing I've ever seen.  Later asked him what happened and he said he "just channeled a bunch of energy and fixed myself."
4) At one point in time Steve spent pretty much all his loot on weed.  Dude would smoke a half ounce on the daily.  Saw him 6 months later smoking a cig and he said he quit smoking weed.  Then saw him about a month after that and he was blazed out of his head.  Asked him what was up and he said he was meditating on the beach and found a freshly rolled fatty.  Took that as a sign that he should always be smoking weed.
5) Did the infamous boardslide off the roof in PB at 6am with his girlfriend filming.

Dude, are you down? I'm down. I'm so happy we're all so fucking hard. Skateboarders are so hard, so fly, and so original. It seems as if the Individual is dying in the world of skateboarding, everyone's so busy being down and like each other, that they've engaged in a fudgepacking gangster extravaganza.

[RollingThunder]

I used to skate at the same skatepark Ben Gilley skated at back in 90s. One day we showed up to skate the 8ft half early one morning. In the side of the Ramo was a door with a sign on it that read "No skating before 9, Ben is asleep".

Thats dedication. Sleeping inside a half pipe in hot ass Alabama trying to make it in skateboarding.

I was always so syked that he went on to skate for Black Label.

[Monkey_Mcpott]

Met TK once in like 2003 in like the first x games. It was when his compton ass terry fame was pretty wild, I randomly spotted him and asked if he would sign this big Vans sticker they were giving out. While he was doing it he was wearing some Nikes and asked "wait are you still on Vans?" and he replied " Yeah but i only wear em when i skate" then he handed me the sticker and left. I thought that was weird at the time and didn't know sponsored pros could do that. But then i remembered seeing Koston with his huge collection of Nikes while he was still on Es. Idk i just always found that weird, like your down for the company but not all of time.

He was on some Steve Cab shit like in Public Domain.  "Steve how come you're not wearing skate shoes?"

                       Steve Cab- "Are we skating right now?  We're eating ok.... When we're skating I put my skate shoes on."
