The Jamie Thomas Interview - December 2003 Skateboarder

Words by Aaron Meza. This interview includes photos of tricks that appeared in Jamie's New Blood and Reason To Believe parts. I love the clip of the 5-0 on that big square rail.

I never understood why people skated the wooden wheelchair ramp spot that Jamie does the tuck knee at. There's a curb right after you land, you'd think they could just find another ramp to rail spot... although, it did make for an entertaining Geoff Rowley clip in Really Sorry.

Also neat to see Jamie talk about Mystery before it officially was a thing (last question). Enjoy!
