@@MrCutFolks7 I know i cant believe these idiots believe those guys are really dead. These guys are so dumb i bet they really think Abe Lincoln and George Washington are really dead. LAWL.
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!!
See we got a troll under my comment replies. Just ignore him, obviously trying to get a reaction. Instead of responding to this POS why not sign a petition to get a skatepark built in my college. Here the link; bit.ly/UCFchange God bless
@@guaguancos.montunodcubop8923 Sadly no, just speculation. I understand why people want to know his cause of death. but let's just honor his memory for the time being.
Went to rehab in palm springs with this dude, real genuine dude who actually cares about people, you might not see it in this video but if you sit down and have a real conversation with him hes been through alot and can teach you alot.
Say what you want about Phelps. He's held down skateboarding for decades. Love him or hate him, if you truly love skateboarding and the skateboarding community, you have to give him props. He's the realest dude out there. He is genuine and caring towards the people who deserve it.
damn. this video drove home how important phelps was to modern skating. when i heard he passed, i realized that we needed him to keep skateboarding raw. rip in peace phelps
Fausto Vitello and Kevin Thatcher, Eric Swenson started thrasher to promote there products such as independent trucks, the name came form Duane peters. Its now a family business since fausto passed away. Phelps was just a skater almanac so they put him in the family.
Rest in Peace Jake Phelps. You will be sorely missed. The skate world is forever in your debt for everything you have done for us skateboarders. Peace and love.
honestly man, if the dude doesn't even skate much anymore he can still be badass as fuck and be 100% skateboarder. he feels the love for it, he expresses his love through a badass magazine that we all love, and he has been tight with some of the biggest skateboard legends ever. he might be a douchebag sometimes, but the dude has experienced life to the fullest and has seen some of the greatest moments in skateboard history, i would love to be in the position he's in.
Ugh ): rest in peace Phelper. You really inspired me and continue to do so. Thank you to my mom for keeping me subscribed to Thrasher for the past ten years.
Hill bombing is so gnarly, man. we have one place to do it where I live and you can still do it now. I know from experience just how fast it can get, and these hills haven't got shit on the ones in cali.
I Have to watch this again! Phelps, was an amazing individual! Anybody that's ever had an influentia,l or positive force, in the form of a friend or family member can relate! Phelps touched people that he never even knew!! 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! Beyond, my wildest dreams!
where are his clips?? what has he done that is so great? besides be the founder of thrasher or having a good position in the skateboarding industry *****
I used to have a problem with this guy. After his death I suddenly realized that there's actually no one else like like him. His role in skateboarding has been massive and his absence will leave a huge hole in our culture. This truly is the end of an era and I fear for what comes next for skateboarding without Phelps running shit. There's no one who can fill his shoes. R.I.P Phelps. True Thrasher.
"August 1997: John Cardiel“Seventy-two tries on a very gnarly rail add up to one of the most wicked slams of all time. Johnzo hit his head so hard that his eyes were bleeding. This photo that Luke Ogden took of him on the ground was "a little too gnarly for the newsstand.” Maybe so, but you gotta pay if you want to play. The rail is still there. If you want blood, you got it" - Jake Phelps" Always wear a helmet folks.
R.I.P. I rarely have time to skate these days, every time I re-watch a Jake Phelps video I try and make that time. Crazy how someone you've never met can influence you. Legend.
Jake is badass back in the 80’s we were bike messengers and he would ride at full speed all day on a single speed cruiser marathon and same day delivery
Met this guy at the SF airport. Very down to Earth. He told me, "If you fall, get up. Don't be that bitch that stops." I dislocated my shoulder at a park and ever since I stopped. Then I remembered he told me to get back up, so here I am waiting to hit that park up again. Park at Pacifica, CA
late 80's + early 90's LOVES YOU PHELPER!! whataya gonna do with all those stories in you're head?? they are priceless to my generation and garbage to 99% of the world...SHARE IT HOMIE!
i got hang with cocco at his house in san fransico in 93..he had a mini skate park under his house..then i gave him a ride somewhere..i had like 5 skaters in the back of my toyota truck driving through the city looking for skate spots..no lies..
Do not let punk rock die in skateboarding.
He may have left.
Let the spirit live.
@a w he never said anything about thrasher, skateboarding is not the mag
Because that's what punk is... one gatekeeper deciding what is and isn't cool.
They still go hand in hand in the uk atm
Music will always have a unique relationship with skating.
shit's stupid lol get a grip
fuck just watched this yesterday bro rest in peace Phelps ⚠️ KING OF THE ROAD FOREVER
Noah A “for me trasher is forever “
He's a douche
This one is heavy. Gonna leave a huge dent in the world of skateboarding. RIP to the true Thrasher. Can't believe it...

Mr Cut Folks I command you to shut the fuck up

Obviously no one taught him about first impressions and how those can be deal breakers with a lot of people.
Brandon Williams why did Phelps go to rehab?
@@lordperezident if you gotta ask you probably shouldn’t know.
Rest easy Jake thank you for everything!!!!!
Props to Pablo for bombing that hill.
Yo word just skating by wanna bomb a hill just shrugs lol
Hell ya buddy was high asf

RIP Pablo 😔💚💚💚
Jay Luv wrong Pablo
R.I.P. to the man who helped shape my mind for better or for worse.

Rest in Peace, Jake Phelps. Sickest skateboarder alive, we will miss you and we love you. :(

Well said
Like most true legends bro
this needs to be about 4 hours long
"Youre not gonna die, if you were gonna die, you'd be dead already."
Thank you, Phelper
damn. this video drove home how important phelps was to modern skating. when i heard he passed, i realized that we needed him to keep skateboarding raw. rip in peace phelps
Thanks for Thrasher Phelps.
***** thank Kevin Thatcher
Phelps is just a little bitch ass editor. I don't get the hype around him.
Fausto Vitello and Kevin Thatcher, Eric Swenson started thrasher to promote there products such as independent trucks, the name came form Duane peters. Its now a family business since fausto passed away. Phelps was just a skater almanac so they put him in the family.

Shred in peace brother, you will be missed. :(
cried in the middle of band practice when i got this news. RIP OG
RIP Phelper. Hardest man in the game, never selling out Thrasher.
Rest In Peace Jake
'Thats my life, I gave my life to Thrasher'
Phelps had this ability to make someone landing a trick even cooler with just his voice, he’d always let out that roar of pride “YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”
Damn that conversation about people thinking they matter was the truest shit ever
You never knew how hard this man was. He was a fucking beast. He never stopped. He pushed people. And they fed of his energy.
Hill bombing is so gnarly, man. we have one place to do it where I live and you can still do it now. I know from experience just how fast it can get, and these hills haven't got shit on the ones in cali.
We just lost Jake Phelps. Keep it gnarly wherever you are man. rip phelps
Mr Cut Folks what are you even on about you fuckin wasteyute?
RIP Phelps, soul of skateboarding. rest easy.
“People are selfish enough to think they actually matter” haha!
I wish this was longer! Rest easy mate!
LEGEND OF THE BAY AREA! Thrash hard in heaven Jake! R.I.P. You definitely will be missed and never forgotten.
Before Jay Adams and Jake died I didn’t know how bad you could miss somebody you hadn’t met. Rest In Peace
I wish this were longer.

The Phelper is the definition of skateboarding. Never stop killing it jake! You fucking rule.
where are his clips?? what has he done that is so great? besides be the founder of thrasher or having a good position in the skateboarding industry *****
chriptachronick77
he is the editor not the founder.
oh okay
It just occurred to me that Phelps was "T-Ed" from the Thrasher letters section. It all makes sense now!
That guy pushing in the rain was going sooo fast
Rip in peace Jake! You definitely paid your dues and gave it all to skateboarding. You will be missed, but never forgotten.
RIP thrasher won’t be the same
“Your not gonna die, you’d be dead already if you were gonna die”. Watched this 10 times and only just caught that. So perfect
What is this strange feeling I get when I watch her play the drums? Is this love? Is this love!?

I remember watching this a few years ago. Still heartbreaking
Trevor from GTA
You have no idea how funny this is. I thought the exact same when Trevor came out.

Melvin Cardenas - Possibly... ;)
Yeah but Jake is real...
Jake is way better than a game character
