Brian is such a G. He was a huge inspiration for me to stop drinking because I saw myself in so much of his story and the ways he drank. I’ve always been a fan, but when I heard he quit, I was struggling pretty hard… and all I remember thinking was “Damn… that’s fucking badass. I wish I could be like that.”
Rolling up on 17 months now. Thank you, Brian. Life is fucking beautiful on this side of it all.

Still remember buying welcome to hell from flying fish in Madison wi and then having every skater over to watch it. That video changed my perceptions

I grew up watching Welcome to Hell putting Jessup on my new deck. Followed this man's career. If there was a photo or ad with him in it, I was buying that mag.
