The first Fallen ads
Below are the first two Fallen Footwear ads, which I scanned from the December 2003 & January 2004 issue of Skateboarder. Photo credit is given to Daniel Harold Sturt. Jamie never cleanly rode away from this trick, despite multiple trips back to get the make. During one of the trips, he landed on one with "pretty controlled layback slide out", which he ended up using for his Ride The Sky part. You can read more about the backstory behind the trick in his November 2008 Skateboarder interview.
Jamie Thomas' Skateboarder covers
Jamie Thomas is tied with Stefan Janoski for the most Skateboarder covers, having 4 of them. Here they are, in chronological order.

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!
