Jump Street Podcast Episode 145 with Rob Thompson

[@rollforever85]

One of my favourite podcasts for a while, there was such a good chemistry between all three of you. Rob’s positive energy is infectious.

[@ikon313]

Loved Rob's skating back in the day and his attitude towards it now. Glad to have him around.

[@bernaay]

So good seeing Rob back on it! Such a legend!Always wondered what happened to him

[@stubbs1010]

I also skate boarded before aggressive skating. Ice hockey made the switch easy from board to blades on ramps. Did both sports for awhile and then roller blading took over my life

[@LyonsDenMedia]

I remember Rob and crew came down to Pensacola to judge a park contest. I was in the beginner division. Just a young kid with some custom Feinbergs. I ended up winning. But I also did a grabbed fishbrain across and down one of the boxes. Nothing earth shattering. Small obstacle. I was still starting out. But it felt great. At some point Rob says to me "hey man that fishbrain was sick (or dope or something)". I've obviously never forgotten that. One of my favorite skating days. Before I started filming. Before I had a crew I skated with. Meant a ton. Somewhere I have the footage of him Mcing and judging.

I have been waiting for this guest since you guys started the podcast. Rob's sections were the BEST

[@JumpStreetPodcast]

and Rob delivered!

[@davidmorgan4541]

BIG CLAIM! That Salomon team all of them did great sections man. But yea Rob was a cut above ❤

[@danielhady3021]

Rob Thompson was one of my favorite skaters. Still is. Dude could shred. Its so crazy to see him with white hair, we are all getting old lol. I can empathize with him about not being comfortable on skates anymore. It's great to hear a former pro actually admit that they've lost that touch because I felt horrible when it happened to me. I'm now feeling the itch to skate again but man I know it'll be a struggle.

[@bonter1983]

I remember Rob skating in the pouring rain at Liverpool IMYTA, with one of the nastiest mullets I've ever seen. He was super upbeat and just loving every moment. Also, Underestimated is one of the hardest hitting blade videos ever made. Everyone nailed it in that film. And Majette put it together so well.

[@markevansdj]

Yep same, mullet man!

[@tjl3979]

Rob is definitely one of those guys that should be talked about more. The level of the shit he did was absolutely insane

[@JumpStreetPodcast]

agreed

[@that_which_is_not]

Lucid, warm, humble and an open communicator. It’s what we all hope for when we click on these! Great conversation 🙏

[@thatmountain]

Absolutely.

[@JumpStreetPodcast]

rob is awesome, glad you enjoyed it 🙏

[@Tallysean]

Well done, as usual. Now I'll burn the rest of my work hours watching old Thompson clips.

[@JumpStreetPodcast]

🤣 time well spent!

[@jankmedia1985]

perfect timing, ambulance in the background. 6:57

[@JumpStreetPodcast]

😂

[@rollforever85]

Rob Thompson was always on another level. An absolute monster on the blades

[@ShuaNades]

This was my FAV episode rob was my fav skater for all of my childhood skating days, my fav video was “this is solomon” I’ll never forget rob saying “got this whiskey got this dip and he’s got his monster truck” or something along that lines this completely made my day watching this I hope rob sees this comment as well 😂 thanks guys for the podcast!!

[@jonathanlawing77]

Rob was always a great dude. Glad to see him around and doing well.

[@jeremyfanfaron3659]

True legend! Thank you jumpstreet for this wonderful guest.

[@JumpStreetPodcast]

glad you enjoyed it 🙏

[@paulmoulier2874]

I remember hanging out with Rob and Brandon during the IMYTA Puerto Rico and the where having a blast!

[@JumpStreetPodcast]

always a good time in PR!

[@motherboaard3729]

Skated with rob randomly a few weeks. Solid dude, solid tricks, solid session

[@DADAcreative]

this is great. hope to catch you at happeville sometime that park is great

[@bobbydixon4484]

Haha I used to skate champaign because I lived there. Funny world and I never knew that about Rob.

[@jokeyxero]

First time I remember seeing Rob he was doing backflips on the wallride at Ramp N Speed. I was told he was 8, but sounds like he was a bit older from this interview. I used to drive from Hueytown to skate Hunter St Baptist, it was a nice spot. I always thought Charles was a few years older than me, but we're the same age. I miss occasionally skating with them at RNS and The Wall. Always inspiring, especially watching Rob mature so hard around 99-00 when Salomon came around. 🔥

[@dynovfr]

I am glad he mentioned the Nyc contest as up there because that was one of the first times i went to a big contest and went to new york city. That ledge round was memorable. Absolute annihilation and he was skating 38mph at the ledge. legend

[@pouringblue7]

One of the goats. Glad to see he still skates!

[@Jonomonoyyyyytfgdhdvhjbg53357]

Awesome podcast, Rob is a huge legend and not talked about enough as a goat of the sport

[@mikedeezy]

Awesome podcast guys! Rob is the man glad he got onto the show❤️

[@garrettslobey9204]

Damn i wish i had been live with rob and charles! Both are absolute legends and good people

[@MFR22]

Wow! Birmingham Alabama 39 year old skater here feeling so nostalgic watching Rob and Charles interviews. My wife and 3 kids got me rollerblades for Christmas which makes sense, since I haven't skated since I was 22 years old. Hurt my back 2nd time at skatepark and hearing Charles and rob talk about how they feel unconfident now gives me the feeling I'm not terrible... I'm just too old for this shit, but it's ok.😅

[@Djimons]

Rob and Wilfred 🤘

[@eishawave3934]

Really wanna see that topsoul in Poetry in Motion again. That and the Kelso roof gap on the cover. Hopefully someone uploads it at some point

[@JumpStreetPodcast]

yea i tried looking also and couldnt find it

[@eishawave3934]

@@JumpStreetPodcast When you guys get Majette on you there, that could be the first question for him! lol

[@stubbs1010]

Just ordered cake souls to bring my Rob Thompsons back to life

[@arjunbhaduri1469]

Im glad the hammer on the Philly rail was addressed in such detail. On that note.. anyone know if Poetry in Motion is online? Haven’t seen that video in over 20 years 🤯

[@JumpStreetPodcast]

yea I'm surprised its not up anywhere

[@t3chno0]

Hey guys. Austins camera looks crispy 👌👌.. Genesis story was great😂😹👏. This podcast brings me so much joy.. Love how you guys uncover so much rollerblading history💙.. THANK YOU

[@johnhawleycomedy]

You can't do it rob! You can't do it!!

[@JumpStreetPodcast]

The best 😂

[@rotyler2177]

I understood that reference.

[@gcroller93]

Now that we have a rob interview, my next guest im hoping for is Brandon Campbell 🎉 oli short from England too 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@henkbinnenband3622]

Rob is next level

[@davidmorgan4541]

I’m going to say this and I legitimately think this is true I don’t think there was or is currently a better team than the Salomon one. 🙈😬 And what I mean is that you look at the Oscars together they were unbelievable Chaz Sands, Rob Thompson, Brandon Campbell and Vinny Minton. Not sure if Aaron Feinberg was around at the same time as them but yeah what a team! Chris Cheshire as well. Didn’t get a skate and was a bit later but damn what a blader!

[@timgazsy666]

Hahahaha basketball shorts!!!! Yes!! Love you bill!!

[@stubbs1010]

Broke my wedding ring finger second session back. Omg crazy similar things again lmao

[@Nicolette-TV]

What video is the drop rail in philly in?

[@JumpStreetPodcast]

I believe it’s from poetry in motion

[@kyleisdesign]

What section or video is the drop kink fall in?

[@kyle777]

I think they're taking about the Royale from Rejects 5: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXq5dGuAgLmUn7M

[@j3s_drums]

You shoult interview SANTIAGO AZPURUA

[@cdifff643]

Not even mentioning what chaz thinks of you
