One of my all time favorite
skaters because of his sheer
will power. Jim has been
skating since the 1990s.
Rodney Mullen was immediately
interested him because he
seemed like a "math tech whiz
kid skater" or whatever the
hell that means. I think what
Mullen was saying was that
when he first saw him he was
landing all kids of super
technical flat ground tricks.
Which is kinda weird because
that's not what he is really
known for anymore.
Again, I tried to make this
playlist in chronological
order in terms of his footage.
I always forget that his first
real video part was in Zero's
Misled Youth. So that's what I
started with. Going on we have
the Baker series - starting
with Baker Bootleg. The
Bootleg part is a good look at
his early pre-pro years.
My favorite part his Baker 2G.
I love the music and the fact
that he kills the Wilshire
rails.
Next is his Baker 3G parts,
including a "lost" part which
seems to be a re-edit of some
sorts.
Of course I found super old
footage from 411 that probably
pre-dates the Bootleg footage.
Anyway, that's a rare find.
You should definitely watch
that.
And of course - for dessert is
his Epicly Later'd part which
is always good stuff.
