My War: Jamie Thomas

[@dishwater63]

"You don't bounce back when you're 40. You just bounce." So true, man. So true.

[@MrJasonodonnell]

No you don't, I can also attest for that in person...but you do learn to roll, call on 30 years of balance, be confident in yourself and learn how to cheat your limits.

Takes too much impact on his knees

J Mz do you skate? I warm up bouncing in and out of full squats and take care of my legs and knees constantly. The reason this guy is 40 and still killing it is because he knows what he’s doing.

I want to always skate no matter how much pain I am in, the level of happiness skateboarding gives me will always be greater than the pain it causes. Hope I can be that guy at the skatepark who everyone is wondering if I am old enough for each layer of my skateboard to represent ten years of my life haha. seven layers on modern day ones, can't wait to see what the future of skating holds and I always want to be a part of it.

Picked up the board last year when I was 28, first time I skated in about 10 years. Broke my wrist the 4th or 5th time at the park.

[@weaponx3052]

I'm 35 and have been skating since I was 16. There were times I didn't have fun skating anymore because of injuries, stress and depression. I had to quit skating for 6 months because it wasn't fun for me anymore so that when I come back again, I might have a different feeling and get into it again. It took awhile to find it but it was worth it. I skate way better now in my mid 30s than in my late 20s. You just have to find that drive and always explore which ones will feel as good as when you started skating for the first time. You still have lots of time to skate dude. All you need to do is just go out there and just have fun. Even if you are sore, just go out and cruise around. The little things in skateboarding will always feel good as long as you have a positive mind.

Allways had the biggest respect for Jamie. He's so true to skateboarding. I grew up watching the Zero videos and he's absolutly killing it with the brands that he's holding down aswell with Black Box. I allways gets super bummed when their teams is getting smaller and smaller, Mystery dissapearing and shit. People sell out, and teams dissapear. But this dude stays put and keeps going. He is a living legend and a rolemodel that people really should look up to.

[@Olysk8er]

I'm 33 now. I've got more physical and mental ailments than I care to admit. I haven't been able to skate for the last few years as a result. I spent most of last night vomiting. I was literally almost dead of starvation (achalasia) this time last year. Almost all of my sk8 peers have all moved on to other things or places. I'm more likely to just crumble, rather than bounce nowadays. Still, I can't just stop something I did almost every day for nearly two decades. Fuck that. I'm going skating today. Thanks Chief.

[@chosenone8408]

2:29 You can't overstate this concept enough. Age, as much as we all hate to admit it, is our master. Eventually, our bodies simply can't do what we want it to do anymore. I'm a month away from turning 40, and when I skate (as rarely as I do), I just grind small ledges, and a few flip tricks here and there. At a certain age, you fall once, and your body slowly, yet emphatically tells you, "Don't do whatever the hell that was again."

[@ericduminil]

I love bowl skating, and I hope I'll be able to do it for a loooong time. Any kind of skating is better than no skating at all. So if street skating isn't an option anymore, I'd be more than happy with bowls, slalom or downhill. BTW, happy birthday?

[@Kazedragonx]

This inspires me so much.. Jamie Thomas was one of my favorite skaters since Tony Hawk Pro Skater came out on playstation. I was always amazed at his video parts and didn't realize how much of an impact he has had on the skateboarding scene. Chris Cole is who he is partially because of Jamie Thomas. I skated from the age of 16-17 really intensly. Then I broke my independent truck and stopped skating.... I went through a lot and my focus was on breakdancing, gymnastics, and martial arts. I then went through a lot of family trauma and traumatic events that made me feel always depressed, really sad, and really alone. A lot of my friends were dying off and people close to me. I was in a bad car accident in 2013 making me think I couldn't do the activities I loved. because of my back being messed up and still to this day is, I couldn't do a lot of things anymore... Once my fiancé and her 2 year old son left me to go back to her ex...I was really lost and in such a dark place, people kept betraying and turning on me or decided substances meant more than people... I was at times feeling suicidal and constantly sad and feeling like nothing brought me joy... I watched motivation 2 with Chris Cole and that made me remember how much I loved skating and wanted to get back into it. its now 2016 and I skate 3-4 hours a dayand wherever I can. Even at almost 32, ive surpassed my expectations of what I could do and am way better than when I was younger. Skateboarding for me saved my life and its what is therapeutic for me. The feeling of riding down hills, landing tricks I couldn't before, and just having my mind be free from any issues im having.. Jamie Thomas was also one of my favorites because he embodies chasing a dream and not to give up and believe in what you can do. Thank you Jamie Thomas for being one of my heroes and inspiring me to try what I never thought I could do. Between practice and other skaters I looked up to (Rodney mullen, Chris Cole, Tony Hawk, Christian Hosoi, Caballero, Andrew Reynolds, Danny Way, Tas Pappas. so many more to list,) I got the fire relit for skating.

dondiwhite1 i agree Templeton has the best impossibles

[@TaylorPhase]

technically, rodney mullens impossibles are straight vertical and clean and effortless. but his style isnt the best

[@TheFutureIsPrimitive]

PhaseSkater Rodney Mullen invented the Impossible and several other variations of it going all the way back to his early freestyle days. Rodney's Impossibles are second to none, not only because he is the inventor, but he also has maximized the potential for the Impossible. He lands the Impossible every single time without fail in every direction, even on every side of the board. Jamie Thomas has great Impossibles, because he was directly inspired by Rodney and uses some of his technique. Regards- from a freestyle skateboarder

I just started skating again after 20 years off to, “do life”, and it is inspiring to see JT at this level at 40. I turn 40 in a few weeks and have spent the last 6 months skating daily to catch up for the 20 year hiatus. I can attest, the falls I’ve taken hurt a lot more and are a lot less hard. But, there’s a different mental aspect to how I view things and a more strategic approach. I wish I had the focus and knowledge I have now nearing 40, at 15 when I was very serious about skating. I’d have had a serious chat with myself about life and not taking passion for grant because of stupid distractions and what everyone else says or expects.
