Cold Call: Jordan Thackeray

Jordan flew to the States to pick up a banjo, but he didn’t head home without destroying the Diamond bowl and some backyard ponds.

love when i've never heard of someone and instantly become a huge fan

[@hotpinkfryingpan7615]

go watch tea and biscuits, amazing skate video

[@BetterSkateThanNever]

you're in for a treat with the Tea & Biscuits vid

[@JBH123]

It's rare to see a truly original style anymore, but this guy has one. Brilliant!

[@localcrew5042]

I grew up skating with Jordan in colchester, the nicest guy and i love seeing how much he has grown as a skater and person watched this whole thing with a smile on my face! Love you JThaxx

[@matprlz]

Biggup Empire skatepark haha

[@courgettelemons9727]

Ramprage*

[@itmightgetdark]

for anyone who hasn't seen his tea and biscuits part, go watch that right now!

[@TheDealer1228]

That was him?? I remember loving that video when it dropped.

[@scottmccrimmon1]

Was just about to comment the same thing - one of my favourites

[@imakrewitatl]

Yer not my dad!

[@BILLYBILLBEANO]

and his Dont Worry Gordo.. part.

[@WAR_FIT879FLAXMERE]

Nah I’m watching this don’t tell me what to do

[@sorenng]

Always been my favorite skater! Glad he's getting the recognition he deserves.

[@ianfrag]

So underrated! Dude deserves way more shine:))

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

it's gonna take quite a bit of polish to get that dirt off , greasy asfk.

[@GrammerOfficer]

This dude reminds me of the guy who skated for element Brent Atchley.

[@OllyRobertss]

Met Jordan a couple of times up and down the UK at events. Always the nicest and most pleasant lad, ace to see him on here. Killing it.

[@matprlz]

When the indoor park opened up in Colchester, Jordan learned front noseblunts in a mini within 9 months of picking up a board.

[@monsterTrucs]

Ever since tea and biscuits this man has been my fav transition skater easily. Beautiful music

[@kryptomedicgaming]

having bopth skated with him and even judged contests he rode in, this description of graceful loose style is really correct! Jordan had this firey hype way of skating where he would try things no one is doing and land things no one should be able to hang on to...but it never felt forced, it was just vibey and fun and fast paced and creative and all things good with skating! Two thumbs up on a well deserved clip here bud!

[@jonny8597]

Seen this guy skate in the flesh, one of the best styles out there

[@kylevaughan7694]

Incredible style, hopefully not underrated much longer - time to shine!

[@k1ckflipz315]

Seeing this guy skate when he was a kid at NASS festival to now. Deserves this so much!

[@stilton946]

big up thackery, had the pleasure of seeing him skate at the king of kings in 2023, a humble man with so much skill on a skateboard, like so much skill. no one makes it look as easy as he does

[@lovenskate]

Yes Gordo! Smashed it mate!

[@karlmuller1976]

Jordans the best, us Essex bods are super proud. Not the fact that he has become such an amazing skater, but because he has maintained being such a nice genuine guy despite being such a talented skateboarder.

[@doodlebrighton124]

"that was bangin' what you on about?"😂 What a ledge.

[@user-pq2mu5xc2x]

Propa ledge. guys the needed vibe

[@tilius.xyz_]

Such a mysterious dude! see how humble he is makes him even more mysterious. Anyway, beautiful skating, been a fan for a few years, and yeah, go get that american dream.

[@petesmite]

I love it when people just cruise casually like he does in the pool at the beginning ❤

[@benmcreynolds8581]

He really gives me Tom Penny mini ramp vibes

[@mountaindewisextreme]

I remember i saw him in Christiania at cph open, and he absolutely killed it! Him and Dannie Carlsen, two unique styles, both slay the transitions!

[@nitrojunkie9027]

Dude is sooo smooth. Never heard of him before. His smoothness and whole chjll vibe kind of reminds me of Hosoi. You can tell he's an artists both on and off his board.

[@lennybenz4281]

One of the smoothest styles on the mini ramp. love to see how far he's come and still continuously rippin

[@johniroland]

Just pure grace... One luv brother

[@ostias]

he is one with his board. pure Flow !

[@drippyscratchcat]

Rune called it!! A graceful, loose style. One of THE very best natural styles I've ever seen. The board is like an extension of him, not something he's riding....

[@In-free]

wow! What a creative, stylish, wholesome skater. Love to see it!

[@unolighting512]

Brilliant piece! So hyped to see new footage from him, need more!

[@user-so2if9wo7g]

this guy is so chill

[@chrishendricks4613]

Tom Penny like skills on that mini ramp. Sick!

[@patrickkeenan8443]

Amazing talent. Completely at ease at all times.

[@TidyDawg]

So proud of you, no doubt you’ll keep moving forward on the journey with grace and finesse.

[@PleasureAfterWorkRcCrawlers]

The style is incredible and also his way of tricks 🔥

[@Iskandarko]

He’s so smooth. Love it!

[@Rufusdos]

Beautiful episode! Love this guy's skating. Makes it seem like anything is possible.

[@emerica95023]

The monologue at the end tho 👏🏽🥲

[@corahughes-py5ti]

love skating with this man, hes sick on vert. Big up jthaxx more to come ❤️

[@jasielcalixto]

this is such a mind blowing artistic skateboarding

[@wildbitt]

love his creativity!

[@drjimbobawesomeo]

Thackeray is a fucking transition wizard. I've always wanted to be able to skate like him and Sid

[@KevinParrott78]

Total favourite and ruling human. Loved this!

[@Makabert.Abylon]

I liked those last words, how you should be appreciative for doing what you love. Do the most of what you have if you have it, it is still a job but its the best gig you can have, sponsored skateboarder. Most of us had to go find a job and work more then we skated at 20.

[@scottttttttttttttttttt]

Rare when i get into a better mood from staring at my phone. His first run he did a bs 5-0 that was tweaked around so rad! Not sure ive seen that look before. Dope

[@karlin_oriley]

This should be the target for everybody to be this connected to the flow of life! He's fascinating and do damn good on the Board!

[@NikkeSillanpaa]

He's such a great skater and a beautiful human being! I've been lucky enough to meet him a couple of times and he's just magical on a skateboard and really really friendly. His style reminds me of Jaakko Ojanen's, just on transitions. Great looking video and amazing filming! The last ramp looks epic✨🛹

[@mehdibelorgey4288]

So stoked on you my yungbanjo ❤️ i miss you a lot ❤️

[@Squaremuffin]

Such a nice guy and a pleasure to watch rip

[@Spitfire515O]

Jordan’s feet are so quick I had to watch most of the skating on 75% playback speed. Especially impressed with the rock to backside disaster variations. In my mid-2’s I went through though a phase of skating miniramps almost exclusively for a couple years. Had rock to back-tail stall down pretty well and tried to step it up and learn boardslide to back-tailslide on coping and found it way harder than expected; only ever pulled a handful and none really clean. I never really considered trying to back-D from rock/boardstall position but seeing this makes me wish I’d tried that back when my reflexes were sharp. Been skating since 1986 so that’s ~37 years of wear plus compounded injuries that have left my 46 y/o body too battered and arthritic for any serious coping-dancing but Jordan got me inspired to try some new stuff. Rock to back-D isn’t likely but maybe, just maybe, I could whip a feeble-stall into disaster… Can’t hurt to try, right? Actually, for skateboarders that saying is bullshit. It *can* hurt to try, and most definitely will hurt, but F it, that’s never stopped a skater before!

[@GizmoGary]

skates like brent atchley, sounds like ali g, shreds banjo like he's dueling with the devil? this guy rules!

[@JoeyAV39]

Such a good cold call

[@s_m_north]

Beautiful!

[@chase920]

[@Mayor2026]

incredible

[@hanskloss1331]

the grind over the deathbox is epic and that is one tight pool

[@LM-hs4bu]

we need more of Thackeray

[@expensivebill]

Always knew this guy would get better on a pro level when I skated around him abit. Now he's on Thrasher 😄

[@MUTANTACADEMYGAMING]

F#ck yeah dude. proud of you eternally

[@BetterSkateThanNever]

he's a rad one, sick to see him on thrasher, great edit

[@frank5728]

Saw him once when I was younger at this DIY in Nottingham. He did the fattest, steeziest, Ollie north I have ever done seen, over the sketchiest double hump. Still remember it lol. Englands rough spots and hostility for skating makes some persistent, creative skaters!

[@frank5728]

love he went to America to save on postage too! get a trip out of it too

[@ryanrowe1975]

Great style

[@miniramptricks1986]

Skates a lot like Brent Atchley, I bet that dude was one of his favorites as a kid
