Day 127: The Jim Greco interview from the March 2003 Skateboarder
As you will learn from the first question, 127 days refers to how many days Jim had been sober when he did the interview. It's interesting to read this and see Greco at the beginning of his career really taking off. The roof ride is still so cool even almost 20 years later, too. And it's also interesting to see that he back 360'd off of that roof into the driveway before doing the backside 360 kickflip.
Greco has one of the best switch 360 flips of all-time.
Bonus scan of the cover of this issue. Switch frontside flip down Wilshire 15.
Anyways, here's the interview. Words by Mackenzie Eisenhour. Thank you to Theo Hand for inspiring me to find & scan this.
