I met that guy Jimmy from the clothing store in NYC back in 2012, he was so kind to me and my friend, I bought a leather jacket and he gave me a 15% off of it. Rest in peace Jimmy 🫡
One of the classics.
I’m glad you guys are putting all the old episodes on UA-cam now.
This is so old now. I would’ve loved to see a 2023 update epicly later’d. But vice can’t come up with new quality content
Where’s your content ?
Vice stays with the reuploads I swear. I constantly check their page and they keep posting KOTR 2015 or whatever year it was 😂😂
Too bad their studio went bankrupt. They had some really great and original content in the beginning
Yea at first i was like why is he in this 2000s emo get up 😅🤣😂
Jenkem should take the reins
6:40 is the most perfect textbook nollie backside flip i've ever seen.
Greco owns that trick
Mob af 🤣
Just once in a while someone's will power is stronger than their addiction. What a radical dude. Loved this episode.
Dude was 100% high when this was filmed. He was nodding with his guitar!
If this guy was sober for the filming of this then I am a magical unicorn man that can fly and shoot lasers.
Its rude to say that when you dont know for sure!!!
Nothing about how he acts indicates he was on drugs.
@@kennethd4958literally everything about the way he acts indicates he was on drugs
Jim Greco and Corey duffel are the real rockstars of skateboarding. Me icons
one of the most interesting dudes on baker at that time and still just as interesting now. this could've been an hour long. it'd be so cool if they could somehow follow up on this cause jim is still the same dude just a little wiser.
Just more tattoos lol
Watching someone live there truest self is always a beautiful thing. Nice work VICE
Vise?
@@Astrohhh 5ice
Growing up i wanted to be JIM and HK. Those dudes were legends to me. Filmed in 07 id watch baker 3 weekly at school. He got clean and showcased how much skating could be a salvation from lifes BS. Dudes like Greco and Reynolds and their cautionary tale history were perfect figures to keep me from thinking about the party life. They were living examples of what REAL cool G's were. Just destroying spots local to me that id see in person and imagine them in their leather jackets XD Just like DAMN. Theres never going to be an era like that again. 13:06 Still to this day blows my mind and his knee tuck...such a god damn nonchalant style for the level of skating he was putting out. Even HK did one in mind field YEARS later. 14:34 Stuck with me most when i watched this for the first time on vice. Never lose what youve always had the loves always been there everyone dont shy away from the ppl in your life and that board/park/spot
You got that right.. there will never be an era like that.. it was such a good time to be a teen and skater.
jim is a legend. seeing this old footage does not seem that long ago. Now he looks like a wise guy. He still skates good as hell. Time flys by man.
you speak the TRUTH MY HOMIE,MUCH RESPECT TO YOU.....
Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity n so we ask ourselves will strangers say our name and know how fearsley we fought or how bravely we skated
this middle aged person looks like his trying to be 20 in 2005. johnny thunders is the heart throb to all failed junkies who used to skate.
Man dodged death from drugs . Ad long as he is alive he is winning.
The first time I saw Greco in person was before he was even pro(I think?). We both were skating this demo for the opening of a skate shop. The ground was chunky as hell and we were still in the small wheels era. I remember three things about meeting dude. He was hella dirty, he was ripping and he had one of those pine tree shaped car air fresheners around his neck on a necklace made out of that green dental floss. Not sure if that was his means of deodorant or a joke but it's stuck with me for all these years. Stoked to have found this.
Dang
Greco has had so many phases lol. He’s a ripper for sure though. I used to love watching his Baker 2g part skating to Gloria, wearing leather jackets, nollie backside flips. A whole vibe.
This is truly amazing. Thank you for making these video documentaries. I never really got into skating when i was little but now im 23 and I'm just now really learning everyone and seeing all the old stuff is cool and makes me feel nostaligic because i know the times wont be like it was.

It was a party man. For better or worse, we idolized these guys in high school. Wore the clothes, did the drugs and came out clean on the other side. Well, I did any way. RIP to those who got lost along the way.
Ive takin alot of drugs in my life......this dude AINT OFF DRUGS
That Tim Upson backside heel off the curb cut was HUGE. He wasn’t even going that fast and he went so far. Dude was good, should’ve gotten more shine.
Lol I thought the same thing. I was like damn that was sick.
heard some great stories from JRNeves about Greco, this is great to see,thanks for making this.
Greco makes the best sk8 films, idc what no one says.
Jobs? Never! gets me hype to sk8 every time.
Losee
@@Folami-Marijani Nah, i don't smoke squares lol
The difference between this and videos now is stark.
Is this a repost? I used to watch vice loads and only dabble in it now.
@@BazzaroPlaysyeah. They were taken down for a while and they’re up again.
from 2007 @@BazzaroPlays
I mean how it what way ? They cover new types of people who have never been and people seem to take heart to that fact without truly saying what the issue is honestly
this one hasn't been available for a long time...glad to see it back...
Thanks for posting this.
Since day one!! JIM GRECO IS MY INSPIRATION 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you Pat for digatizing these
I seriously can’t stop loving this guy…
Jim is such an inspirational person and one of the best skaters of all time, also hands down has the best Nollie BS Flips for sure.
Jim is not only a skateboard legend but also a fashion and design artist
Thank you Tommy Wiseau
Gay comment
Greco goes to the same clothing store that Dustin Dolan did in NYC...you dont forget that store owner!
Homie wanted to be Thunders so bad. Can't blame him.
Gay
That guy at the rock shop was hilarious.
Seen him skate the oldest running skate park its in the Guinness world book KONA Skateboard park in Jacksonville Florida!
He's really feeling that g chord. Waiting for the Greco/Feldman tour.
Ya.. I was wondering how he'd be. Pretty much what I expected.
@@Townes.VanZandt props to your handle. Townes is my dude. I can't knock his skating. My ex and her friends used to hang with him and Ellington-they were PHX hoes- and he'd yell about being a junkie in the back of the car. I called it a false identity and got kicked out. Oh well. People have all sorts of pretentious. Still a ripper though.
Ditto on Townes he’s a legend
Oh yeah thankyou vice for this,made my day.much RESPECT ALWAYS......
Been waiting for this one.
Greco laid down the hammers but he brought a really dark and destructive energy to the game. After watching a bunch of these episodes it just reaffirms my feelings about him from day one. Big ups to Geoff Rowley, Andrew Reynolds and Eric Ellington. They all seemed like reasonable dudes
Greco always tried to make it more than what it is, in a good way!
@@dylanstandingalonehe's a loser
@@Folami-Marijaniur a loser Guido
Incredible... Best content in a while!
It’s from 2007, still very sick
Lol he's almost completely unrecognizable in a regular T and fade. Honestly, i don't even remember when he went through that phase, he's always been a Rockstar
Ahh this is one of my favorite eras of Greco and the piss drunks before the neck tatts that he already has lazered off. Before the fake accent he does now before looking like he's coss playing the 70's. Just caddys and mobbed out kickflips love this era of Baker/Deathwish.
Fake accent? How old r u n where u from? One town I bet
@@AnglephileSwedenGerman 40 years old. Chi town.
Such a wonderful cameo from the late great Jimmy Webb.
We need a new one for Jim
Watch "Jobs, Never!" and Jim's more recent films if you enjoyed this piece. His videographer, Joey Sinko, captures incredible raw footage of Jim.
Yup, definitely Thunders on a skateboard 🔥❤.. (now this is a pair of damn fine boots my man).
Love you Jim...forever)))))
This is du king sick! Respect
Dude was full of himself 😅😂
Crack will do that to u
Always struck me as a sort of method actor in a way, embodies these characters and makes iconic product in the process. Little cringe looking back on that era now can’t lie😂
Looked like Jim was watching the movie scar face religiously back then.
ya hes cringe
Great video. Greco rules!
Is any of this footage of Grecs from this decade or was this all old footage from when you were filming Ellingtons epicly laterd?
10:02 - Belle and Sebastian tee goes hard
8:17 so true!
I saw Greco at the pho shop a couple weeks ago and I was star struck couldn’t even eat my soup let alone say what’s up.
i love jim greco
Legend
awesome
Jim is the man 🥷🥷🥷💯💯💯💪💪💪
Greco is that dude!
A gay dude
@@Folami-Marijaniur in love with Greco ain't you
Badass!!!
I had Santos shoes I miss them
I'm pretty sure Jim Greco forced VICE to remove or heavily re-edit this vid when it was originally released. It wasn't on the offical VICE channel for years and I remember someone else had uploaded it after it was taken down.
So much cool in one guy.
So much gay* in one guy
Nice one! Skateboardings Jim Morrison
oh my gosh what a cool guy, I wish I were that cool
He's a loser
Greco is a legend
Wow Upson really was the best. Never heard of him before but he's ripping 100%
I went to a skate demo at active in Temecula and ill never 4get he was there and he signed his Budweiser can I was highly pissed years later when my mom told me she put it in the recycling bin
Dude I was at that demo! It was supposed to be the whole baker team and it ended up being just Spanky & Greco & they rolled up wasted on a motorcycle haha
ahahahhaah bro that's fire I was up there with my homies from murrieta we would always be at the murrieta park sometimes the Temecula one @@codywebb9654
@@codywebb9654what a bunch of losers 😂
i best like the newer greco production with the film/story flair to it.
He was always too hardcore for me but like always won over the rapper skaters.
Hardcore gay maybe
wood gunna wood.@@Folami-Marijani
i grew up idolizing Jim greco
One of the only dudes in skating that whatever he gets behind I'm into.
He's gay. Bet you'd get "behind" that to
The mafia don of skateboarding
at first you think hes gonna be an absolute junkie then he has a legit reason for everything he says
My uncle used to have this foam eggshell all over the walls in his room and it kept the sound down for the neighbors
Make em all available already.
The Belle & Sebastian x Bad Brains shirt is insanely hard
Much love and respect, Jimmy
I was gonna say he reminded me of Johnny Thunders
17 million subscribers and can't spell "peek" properly. Come on, Vice.
This is what “trying too hard” looks like
Bro sounds very high talking about being sober that’s crazy
Thrasher Interview last year: How long have you been skating? 31 years. How often do you skate? Everyday.
This is hilarious.. Imagine being him watching this now lol
Probably embarrassed
It was a good Era in skateboarding though .
What store is that?
When was this filmed
Dayum.
Jim caked up frfr
The goat
Thank goodness for actually sober Greco nowadays. His output in the last few years is genuinely a thing of beauty. This era looked pretty darn touch and go, regardless of skate footage still getting got.
❤
Jimmy!
Jim Greco is a Legend.
Noiice
I remember an incident with Greco during a video premiere including him and another dude in a van wearing a scarf holding a camera...I'm trying to forget the rest honestly
What happened??
I heard the same thing
wait what
@Veras1231 Play the song Jack and Diane by John Mellencamp and at 00:56 he will tell you what I saw that night
Ali B with his azz out?
Johnny thunders was a great songwriter, but his life and struggles are the ultimate cautionary tale .. heroin use shits on your talents and flushes them down a toilet.
Hope Jim is still clean
RIP Prince
RIP Jimmy Webb
I have that chucky board on my wall and his vans hammers shoe that I loved but the sole blew out
Neeeeiiiceee!!!
Brooo what year was this originally? Makes me feel young again lmao
2007
Peek is spelt with 2 e's. Peak is a mountain.
Pæk
Grammar and spelling is a lost practice these days.
I see what I did 🤣
hellya!!
