cover discussions - Jesse Paez

Jesse had us over as we trekked through the California Central Valley. He shares about his November 1998 Big Brother cover shot by Dennis McGrath in a New Mexico ditch while on trip with Think teammate Pancho Moler. While on an Ezekiel Clothing trip to Costa Rica with Chris Ortiz, Jesse secured the cover of 411VM issue 43. Shout out to his younger brother Richard, Karma Tsocheff Tom Knox, Nanda Zipp, & Nik Freitas. April 2024.

Jesse was a powerful skateboarder. He had a great 360 flip and noseblunt.

I used to own a pair of his pants. He sold them after a demo he did. Had them for a few years. Wore them all the time.

[@lookbacklibrary]

Where was the demo ? For what shop?

[@christophersawyer253]

@@lookbacklibrary was in Spokane Washington. Shop was called Spirit Skate Shop. Was at the UTF (under the freeway) park (park is gone now). Spirit Steve had got the pants. He would have a bunch of light skated shoes or old clothes in the shop that could get for less on trade. He had a pair of the pants that Jesse wore at that demo. I ended up with them.

Love it. Steve donated a ton of mags a few years back!

[@christophersawyer253]

@@lookbacklibrary he was a ramp champion. Incredible skill. Hope he and his son are doing well.

So underrated! His footage in that 411 is amazing!

Any idea the name of that Albuquerque school with the hip? Always wanted to skate that

[@lookbacklibrary]

Can’t recall. I know the hip is no longer skateable.
