The Other Side EP 5 // Jamie Thomas : Emotional Filtering

[@ThrillOfItAll]

Richie, thanks for caring & sharing this 'other side' of my life in such a thoughtful way. I thought you did an amazing job & I hope we get to work on something else soon.

[@allanreyes5520]

Zero boards what i rode the most then. I still have my very 1st Zero deck Green smith grind here on my wall, broke, ran over by an SUV way back in '00.. i got it reserved for me by our local shop then coz its raining every day so i cant pick it up at the shop. Then a friend of mine called me telling me he really wanted to buy that board, coz its their only one Smith grind. He cried on me but i didnt gave in.. good times lol.. thanx for the couple of Fan mails u sent me back in the late 90s Chief

[@OkinPayaso]

Zero was always an epic board company.... Jamie Thomas is a God

[@The_StairTool]

@@OkinPayaso Blessed by God, not a God.

[@th3rd3arplan3tradio]

Jamie has nothing to prove to anybody these days. The timeline of skate parts speak for themselves. He is a true legend, he built a legacy & open doors for many skaters today. He defines "no limits". Salute to JT, one of the greatest skaters of all time!

[@amandalocicero8273]

& he’s genuinely a humble and nice person. Gotta love this original pro! The chief.

[@fomobros2207]

I got to meet Jamie Thomas twice! Once in 2004 and the second in 2017, both times I said “I am a huge fan and you are my favorite skateboarder” and I’ll say it again if I’m lucky enough

[@locusts_and_wildhoney]

This brought back so many memories and is sad in a way. Those days were the greatest days skateboarding will ever see. I'm glad I was part of it. I remember waiting for the latest Jamie Thomas videos to come out on VHS.

[@anthonywandowicz8084]

I've skated dozens of boards and zero has never disappointed. I've had many of days when I was killin it and everything felt effortless. I was always riding a fresh zero those days. I got a board sponsor for a few years but once that was over I got addicted to those white dipped mystery.

[@therookie9493]

Damn even at his 40 hes got one of the best styles that ive seen ever on a board.

[@mikeschmidt4800]

When us old folks were growing up, everyone wanted to skate like Jamie or Koston.

[@michaelthomas4595]

Zero always has and always will be my go to decks. Thank you Jamie Thomas for still keeping it rocking 🤘🤙🤘 how can I get a signed Jamie Thomas deck from the zero website

[@tylerjamesnewton1422]

All-time fave skater. Whether skating lasts forever or ends this century, Zero is a major part of its beginning, story, attitude, and legendarium. JT was always pushing limits and defined what is possible in street skating. Can we just also admit they are the best decks made?

[@ReezyResells]

Bro, this is so good Richie!! Keep making more, this is it right here bro 🔥🔥🔥

[@richievaldez]

I’m trying man. Lot of work for a one man show 🥵

[@ale.g.x.667]

🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼. Jaime was a big influence for me when I started skating. Thanks for this vid🤘🏼

[@conradzacharias3981]

This is so rad, I love hearing all the backstories. You’re a true legend Jamie 🙏

[@TaylorToussaint]

Really good stuff, don't stop.

[@GregMuniz7]

Absolute legend

[@GregsTurtleHaven]

Shooting and editing is fantastic. Great job!

[@fr-ik3749]

This was Cool! Lowkey kinda bummed to hear him say ryan smith is a addict tho, Even tho that explaince why i havent seen much of the dude

[@joshuabennett6117]

I've seen him around recently. I think he's got his shit together. He's got a board company called Pylon with Alex Chalmers. Seems to be doing good now.

[@papamitrou1]

What a great bunch of people, he had a board and duct taped over zero

[@doz3742]

Film school or not... this is your best work yet!

[@Urnkle]

Legend. Thanks for sharing all of that.

[@RickScott916]

What a great piece of history. Glad to own some of your hoard. Thanks

[@timothycollier3807]

Everything about this is great.

[@NonstopAerovisual]

One of my top favorite skaters ! Such a cool dude , legend !!

[@Baseyjones314]

[@ShreddieMercury]

So good Richie!! I talked to Jamie on the phone one time and I was probably the most nervous I’ve been in my life hahah. He’s a big deal!!

[@adrianwilkinson1031]

Jamie Thomas, my favorite skater of Tony Hawk 1. Amazing job. I want to buy a skateboard for my living room now.

[@richievaldez]

Thanks for peeping man :))

[@janski1982]

My favorite skater of alltime 🙌🏽

[@coneyisland1979]

Incredible work guys 🙌

[@rkulla]

It's a bit surreal hearing him talk about the Trophy when it's sitting right next to me, haha (It is hideous but historical, like so much of history). Also bought a signed hoodie worn in WTH (my fav video) and some other stuff from garage days. Great piece!

[@richievaldez]

No fuckin way! That’s so coooool. You’re lucky, I bet a lot of people would love to have that. Soooo dope!!!

[@tylerjamesnewton1422]

Bump. This is wild!! Appreciation comment.

[@whytebrow]

amazing. thank you so much.

[@GoodAmerican7]

BLOODY NOSE DECK (WHITE BACKROUND) WAS THE DECK I WAS RIDING THE DAY MY BALLS DROPPED!... I WAS 12 YEARS OLD WHEN I OLLIED THIS HUGE 12 SET WITH A HAND RAIL DOWN THE CENTER OF IT AT THIS MASSIVE COLLEGE CAMPUS LOOKING MIDDLE SCHOOL IN SCRIPPS VILLAGE SAN DIEGO... HAD THE SMOOTHEST CONCRETE WITH ALL THE RUNWAY ROOM IN THE WORLD.... I STARED AT IT FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE HRS BUT WAS ONLY LIKE 20 MINS AND MY BROTHER CODY ARNOLD WAS LIKE, "DUDE ARE YOU GONNA DO IT OR NOT? LET'S GO!" THEN THESE 2 GIRLS SAT AT THIS BENCH NEXT TO THE TOP OF THE STAIR SET AND ALL I COULD THINK TO MYSELF WAS "SHIT NOW I GOTTA TRY IT"... I REMEMBER ROLLING UP TO DO IT AND I JUMPED OFF MY DECK AND DOWN THE STAIRS JUST TO GET THE FEEL OF THE FALL AND AS SOON AS MY FEET HIT THE GROUND I WAS LIKE HELL YEAH I CAN DO THIS! ...... I RAN UP THE STEPS GRABBED MY BOARD AND WENT AS FAR BACK AS I COULD GO AND SAID OUT LOUD "THOMAS!" (LIKE PEOPLE SAY KOBE WHEN SHOOTING A PAPER BALL INTO THE TRASH CAN LOL) I CLEARED THAT 12 SET BY 2 STEPS AND LANDED IT BOLTS 1ST TRY (2ND IF YOU COUNT THE JUMP DOWN) .... I NEVER FELT SO JUICED AND ALIVE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE UP UNTIL THAT MOMENT.... THAT WAS THE BIGGEST I HAD EVER GONE IN SKATEBOARDING AT THE TIME AND I FELT LIKE A CHAMP AND THAT WHOLE WEEK OR SO THAT TRIP TO SCRIPPS VILLAGE WAS ALL I COULD TALK ABOUT ... THANK YOU JAMIE THOMAS FOR UR INSPIRATION .... YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH YOU INFLUENCED ME THAT DAY TO DIG DEEP WITHIN MYSELF! THANK YOU! ~ SINCERELY, A HUGE FAN OF YOURS, TRAVIS PAULOS (I'M 33YRS OLD NOW AND I JUST GOT BACK INTO SKATEBOARDING AFTER 17-18YRS WITHOUT STEPPING ON A BOARD MAINLY BECAUSE I WANT TO RELIVE MY YOUTH BUT ALSO TO GET MY SONS INTO IT.... AND OFF THIS FORTNITE KICK LOL)

[@spitfire52mm42]

Everything he said resonates with all of us that grew up skating in the early 2000’s.. great vid bud. This video was NOT all donkey. Lol

[@spitfire52mm42]

This is Sonny, I’m all bad.

[@johndoe-px4dm]

[@JawsHLL]

Sick

[@NittyGritty420]

Should of auctioned that x games trophy on eBay instead of listing it as buy now. It would have went for so much more money. 😂

[@petergosling5957]

Damn the Ryan smith thing is sad

[@thunderwood]
