      Mr Cut Folks Dude you have no fucking clue what you’re talking about! Jake was a pretty decent skater! Obviously he wasn’t a pro. But for you to say that he could barely ride a board means you need to pull your head out of your ass and stop telling people that it smells like roses up there!
      He was better than that!! He was a real fucking skater. He skated for himself. Jake Just happen to exploit the opportunity to skate with the best and figured out a way to get paid for it. The ultimate dream job. And then write about in the most epic way for those individual skaters & their absolutely unequivocally insane talents. Let’s see you bomb a freaky steep hill at 56 years old! Jake did more for skateboarding with a pen 🖊 Then you’ll ever do for the world of skateboard in your whole entire lifetime!! I had the privilege to skate in the same park with him once burnside skate park Portland Oregon. I thought he was more a vert skater then a street skater! But nevertheless Jake could fucking skate. & skate or die Jake Did!!

    That's what Jake did!!! He saw, the fire under people's feet. An dumped gasoline on it!! We all could use a phelper, in our lives. It's sad, cuz I don't know when we're going to find another Jake Phelps!!! Anywhere!!!
    There are not many people, that I would ever say anything nice about! I'm not even breaking precedent now!! I'm just stating an obvious fact!! I'm not a very nice person. Jake, was amazing and thorough individual! I always felt that. Even though I never met him!! I respected him, and I feel that I am better off, for knowing of his existence!!
    Thank you, Jake Phelps!!! An of course, thank you skateboarding, for embracing me, an introducing me to happiness and joy!
