I remember when I was a kid watching Jamie Ollie big gaps and stairs, my friends and I would say “when he gets older he’s not even going to be able to walk”. We were wrong.
Of course he ends with the 180 nosegrind, THE most signature Chief trick of all time. God bless Jamie and his skateboarding, and many thanks for all the years of inspiration. There's no putting in words what Jamie/Zero and all that skateboarding magic meant to the average skater kid in the 90s and early 00s. Most of all, I am thankful for growing up with Thrill of it All / Misled Youth / Dying to Live / New Blood as they were released. All hail the Chief!
Yeah man, I can last 2-3 hours in my 30s now, but I go sesh with a friend who hasn't skated in a year and he only lasts 30 minutes. It's hard to see your homies who used to sesh even harder than you take a back seat as they get older, but it's all part of life. Now we just watch the footy and look at how crazy everything is.
Happy belated birthday to the Chief! I've followed Jamie's career since i bought my vhs copy of welcome to hell. Gnarly ripper, one of the best in the game. Congrats on making it to 45 , cant wait to see you do 90 tricks at 90.
Times are changing, kids nowadays only care about these youtube skaters. Nobody remembers or cares about dudes who actually made a real impact in street skating.
super sweet... love the quarter-pipe huracaine, back 5-0 fakie and front feeb; as far as setup goes, I found the JT 9.5 Cruizer on the Zero website; any speculation on trucks (which model of Thunders) and wheels?
Wide deck and small wheels are the key to getting older and still retaining your pop and control on concrete parks man I telling ya. Love to see J.T. still techy as ever, but gets old school style in between. Mike V type skating is always refreshing in between his flippy switch stuff.
Everybodys went crazy for Huston and Oliveira and others youngsters... but when i see new footages of those who were our pro riders back in the 90's.. i cant help but exclaim myself " damn this is jamie foockin thomas, leap of faith !!!" I listened so much the misled youth VHS, at the end, it became a real mess just to get it to play 🤣🤘 i still have it with the cover, what a great movie !! (Dont get me wrong, Huston and Oliveira are also very good skaters!)
Jamie Thomas keeping on skating to grinding a great creativity setup of landing a 50-50+backside crooked+ 540 flip, and etc. Happy Birthday to Jamie Thomas! I am just subscribed to your channel 💯👍🔔🙏 Does Zero Skateboarding respond?

he probably didnt walk for a week after this session.

One of skateboarding’s icons. Distinctive style. Never will be forgotten. Legendary.
Misled Youth followed by Dying to Live is what gave me my life strength. Have a great week Chief!!
Holding it down. Truly one of the legends who will never stop. Still looks like he is ripping in his 20's with no signs of stopping.
He's still got it. Great style as always.
Aye looks so easy for him
Jamie "Leap of Faith" Thomas. A true skateboarding LEGEND!
He’s getting in an all day session at 45 and here I am at 29 dead after a hour session... legend 🤘🏼
I felt this hard.

@@giantsfan7733 it's not part of life, it's called lack of conditioning.
@@Fanaz10 He means people quit when they get older lol....
@@ryankelly8554 it's because people are lazy fucks, not because they get older.
Great to see...still with the impeccable flatground textbook tricks on everything. Seriously brings me back. Hell yeah Jamie 💪
Favorite skater of all time. Happy Birthday to the man, the myth, the legend, Jamie Thomas. Killing it Chief.
Jamie Thomas and Zero made me want to skate. The old Zero VHS tapes were watched countless times.
Happy belated birthday to the Chief! I've followed Jamie's career since i bought my vhs copy of welcome to hell. Gnarly ripper, one of the best in the game. Congrats on making it to 45 , cant wait to see you do 90 tricks at 90.
Defiantly has always been one of my favorites.
Such a rad human being. Thanks Jamie for all you’ve done for skateboarding 🙏🏻
Looked up to him so much in my earlier skating years😁
45, its a good vintage. Smooth, with some kick.
The end by the doors and the who baba with mr thomas s video part are unequivocal genius. That s when skating first captivated my brain. Danke schön!
I stopped skating in the 90s. Jesus I'm old lol 😂 still..I love skating and will enjoy these vids till I die.
Can't wait till we see the first 80 tricks on 80th birthday video.
😂😂😂😂
That's inspiration right there to keep skating for as long as I can, Happy birthday Jamie .
all tricks done really well and I like how they built up to bigger and bigger tricks
Amazing. Happy Birthday Chief!
Wonder if the kids at the skate park realise they are witnessing a living legend
Doubt anyone cares who Jamie Thomas is now
@@jacksamunster4407 it's a shame because hes an iconic legend of skateboarding
Times are changing, kids nowadays only care about these youtube skaters. Nobody remembers or cares about dudes who actually made a real impact in street skating.
brent seano the kids at the skatepark look up to John Hill nowadays lmao
@@jacksamunster4407 your wrong... still see kids with brand new zero gear

Not sure about the cruiser, but I know his normal setup he 159s.
Happy birthday Chief! Still shreddin like a beast. 💪
Style that is still so underrated!
Love those smooth grinds

Was that music from a Ram Truck commercial?
That first flip got me hooked

Jamie the kind of guy who has such a signature steeze that a 50 50 looks like HIS 50 50
I think this trick was molded by chief in the ideal world! Cheers from Brasil 👊🏻
Don't see ya slowing down anytime soon!!! Awesome
