His ability to fall safely is incredible

HE FILMED HIS OWN PARTS HE FILMED THE OTHERS PARTS HE EDITED ALL THE VIDEOS HE GAVE HIMSELF LAST PART HE IMPOSSIBLE 5050'D CLIPPER. JAMIE THOMAS, THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND

"You don't bounce back when you're 40. You just bounce." So true, man. So true.

Jamie you just put the biggest smile on my face bro! I am 33 and just stepped back on my board after 12 years off! Skating is awesome, you rock dude!

This made me so happy to watch.

I'm 27 and sometimes I feel too old to skateboard. I remember watching Jamie Thomas in mislead youth when I was 12. This guy is the definition of a OG.

I'm 33 now. I've got more physical and mental ailments than I care to admit. I haven't been able to skate for the last few years as a result. I spent most of last night vomiting. I was literally almost dead of starvation (achalasia) this time last year. Almost all of my sk8 peers have all moved on to other things or places. I'm more likely to just crumble, rather than bounce nowadays. Still, I can't just stop something I did almost every day for nearly two decades. Fuck that. I'm going skating today. Thanks Chief.

Allways had the biggest respect for Jamie. He's so true to skateboarding. I grew up watching the Zero videos and he's absolutly killing it with the brands that he's holding down aswell with Black Box. I allways gets super bummed when their teams is getting smaller and smaller, Mystery dissapearing and shit. People sell out, and teams dissapear. But this dude stays put and keeps going. He is a living legend and a rolemodel that people really should look up to.

That smile when he lands says it all about skateboarding

one of the best tricks ever done on clipper for sure

been watching this kid when i first started skating 18 years ago and now that im too busy working to skate as much. such a fuckin legend...

He was my idol while skating in the 90's I would watch Welcome to Hell over, and over, before skating. And Jamie's part always got me hyped!

I remember when the fallen crew came by my local when they were making ride the sky Jamie Thomas was there and was so chill gave a lot of people boards only legend I've ever seen in person it was an awesome experience especially all the way here in new Mexico props to this guy for being a pillar in the skate community

Jamie Thomas has more heart than any other skater. Period.

Jamie Thomas was an inspiration to me when I was growing up. Used to play as him on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and used to love watching vids of him, he was a sick skater ever since I was about 7 and Im 27 now lol

I get the same feeling from coding... Yeah I live life on the edge baby. That bug wont fix itself.

It amazes me that he got it twice in a row. One of the best tricks done on clipper for sure.

One of the absolute all-time greatest skaters ever. Still remember meeting and seeing him skate back in the 90's and being instantly hooked on his riding. I'm 40 now so this speaks to me so much...

Every time I'm scared of a trick or frustruated I watch this video

i'm actually tearing up slightly at the end there

Jamie Thomas was one of my favorite skaters growing up. Now I'm a grown man, and I can still get inspiration from you, Jamie. Your work ethic and passion for what you love to do has inspired me and helped me on my own journey. Keep shredding til you can't no more!

What a badass. Impossible 50-50s are hard af in ledges, now try it down a huge hubba at 40 years old.

best series on youtube

One of the best in Skateboarding - all round good vibes, positive energy and amazing skating. The way he takes the falls in this video - with grace. A LOT to be said about that.

The fact he did it again is amazing gotta love Jamie he’s helped so many people

Fuuuck that was gnarly... he has them tuck and rolls down too good though lol I love the concept of being good at falling. Skateboarding is amazing

That smile on his face was priceless, its said so much. Im 38 and was skateboarding to his videos in my day. Its awesome to step back into the past, when i see a familiar face. Hell yeah.

I swear, skate videos are the most civilized comment sections on KZfaq. Much love Thrasher. Jamie is THE legend

BEST VIDEO IN THIS SERIES YET! Great job dudes!

3:30 all Skateboarders know the feeling. "Don't count that, my front truck was off.. Goddamn it!" lol

This inspires me so much.. Jamie Thomas was one of my favorite skaters since Tony Hawk Pro Skater came out on playstation. I was always amazed at his video parts and didn't realize how much of an impact he has had on the skateboarding scene. Chris Cole is who he is partially because of Jamie Thomas. I skated from the age of 16-17 really intensly. Then I broke my independent truck and stopped skating.... I went through a lot and my focus was on breakdancing, gymnastics, and martial arts. I then went through a lot of family trauma and traumatic events that made me feel always depressed, really sad, and really alone. A lot of my friends were dying off and people close to me. I was in a bad car accident in 2013 making me think I couldn't do the activities I loved. because of my back being messed up and still to this day is, I couldn't do a lot of things anymore... Once my fiancé and her 2 year old son left me to go back to her ex...I was really lost and in such a dark place, people kept betraying and turning on me or decided substances meant more than people... I was at times feeling suicidal and constantly sad and feeling like nothing brought me joy... I watched motivation 2 with Chris Cole and that made me remember how much I loved skating and wanted to get back into it. its now 2016 and I skate 3-4 hours a dayand wherever I can. Even at almost 32, ive surpassed my expectations of what I could do and am way better than when I was younger. Skateboarding for me saved my life and its what is therapeutic for me. The feeling of riding down hills, landing tricks I couldn't before, and just having my mind be free from any issues im having.. Jamie Thomas was also one of my favorites because he embodies chasing a dream and not to give up and believe in what you can do. Thank you Jamie Thomas for being one of my heroes and inspiring me to try what I never thought I could do. Between practice and other skaters I looked up to (Rodney mullen, Chris Cole, Tony Hawk, Christian Hosoi, Caballero, Andrew Reynolds, Danny Way, Tas Pappas. so many more to list,) I got the fire relit for skating.

One of the best episodes so far.Amazing trick,tons of dedication.Inspiration!

wearing the same shirt he wore in thps2

Awesome, i have been watching this guy for 20 years and this is my new favorite trick. Inspiring !

This dudes persistence is so inspiring its contagious

2:29 You can't overstate this concept enough. Age, as much as we all hate to admit it, is our master. Eventually, our bodies simply can't do what we want it to do anymore. I'm a month away from turning 40, and when I skate (as rarely as I do), I just grind small ledges, and a few flip tricks here and there. At a certain age, you fall once, and your body slowly, yet emphatically tells you, "Don't do whatever the hell that was again."

I'm 31, have never skated, always wanted too. This gives me hope. haha. Even if all i want is to flat land a kickflip. Big ups to Jamie

These "My War" video's are the best!

This guy has been my inspiration since day one Thrill of it all is still one of my favoriite videos

It's dope to see what's going on inside their minds mid trick. I love the whole ''My War'' vids, keep them up

Weird reading comments how I'm not the only one that's got back into skating in my 30's. I quit from boredom and took up surfing. Now surfing is kind of boring and relearning old tricks is fun again

I enjoy videos like this. They make the legends so much more human and can relate to them even more.

Seeing that black zero hoodie brings back so much memories. I love his style. I miss when zero and mystery and all of those brands were huge.

I would pay to get some of Heath's stories.

Damn! That misfits griptape is sick af!

When you landed that impossible-50-50, and got that huge smile on your face, I couldn't help but have one too. Awesome!!

childhood Hero since the late 90´s even though I dont skate since like 14 years anymore he still puts a smile on my face everytime I see a clip like this one...

His smile made me smile

This is amazing, Jamie is gnar.

I live 15 minutes from where Rampage Skate park used to be in Buffalo Iowa, longest running indoor skate park in America for 16 years. I was young skating the place bought my first VHS skate video "Welcome to Hell" from there. Ever since then Jamie Thomas was my idol! I'd watch his part on that skate video every day go out and tear it up on my board right after with so much inspiration and motivation. Jamie you're a legend! I quit skating about 8 years ago, this video just pumped me up to skate again...definitely going to start and never stop this time. If I can afford a damn board that is ha! Thank you for the inspiration and motivation to skate once again Jamie!

Jamie was so awesome at Tempe park, just cruising and cheering on the locals. Super positive vibe coming from him. It was cool to see that from a legend.

*STILL* my favourite skater, 20 years later. Not *TECHNICALLY* the *BEST*, but I just love watching his *STYLE* of skating. He's still busting *HUGE* gaps.. I love the way he specialises in doing *HUGE* versions of *SIMPLE* tricks, often down *HUGE* gaps. That's what Jamie Thomas was *ALWAYS* about. My first proper deck was a *ZERO JAMIE THOMAS CROSS*... Good times! *STILL* a joy to watch, 20+ years later! *UNREAL*! From huge fan, Davey Hughes in Éire (Ireland). *RESPECT MR. THOMAS*!

until they said it was impossible I thought it was a tre flip

Jamie has been to so many legendary spots and had so many wars.

My favorite all time skater. Toy Machine: Welcome to Hell was the best video part ever. LEGEND. Truly a legend.

the Legend of Jamie Thomas

this is the only my war episode that seems like it was an actual war

Binging all of these right now

This guy is a legend! I'il never forget back in the 90's the toy machines and zero video parts i watching before ever session! This mark my life in skateboard...

You know when you're trying to do homework and youtube keeps auto playing my wars.

I Personally think his wraps on his impossibles are better looking and cleaner than Dylan Rieder's. They are so textbook perfect Tony Hawk's Pro Skater style.

James Lick Middle! I was born (and still live) a few blocks away. This is where I learned to ride a bike and always loved when there were skaters. I could watch all day.

He put into words the exact reason I still skate at age 50 ... the feeling.

Next should be josh Katz stop skating without a helmet

Skaters can be some of the most hardworking people on planet earth. So much respect to them

Hands down, maybe top 3 best series of all time. And not just skateboarding. This shit is powerful!!! It seems we all want more of MY WAR! Kudos thrasher. Fuckin' banging!!!

awesome video Jamie Thomas was my fav skater as a kid so much determination love it

My first deck was a Jamie Thomas zero poison deck my favorite

this shit makes you wanna cry

All worth it for that smile alone. JT is one incredible guy.

Motivating, put a smile on my face.

Anyone the name of the song pls?

Impossible 50-50??? MY GOD.

maaaan. whether your learning an ollie for the first time, or doing this crazy kinda stuff; we're all in the same war and it's beautiful. Its a beautiful war. Fuck yeah skating.

Reminds me of the battle that Michael Jordan had to fight to get past the Detroit Pistons. I think it was also, like, on the fourth or fifth try that he succeded. But he achieved his goal. And so did Jamie Thomas. This was a badass video!

He indeed is a Ledgend ;)

song?

Such an inspiration.... GOD I MISS SKATEBOARDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gotta get back on !! The most fun I've ever had!

One of my favourit series!

What is the name of song ?

when I was a kid I was at this skatepark and no one was there Jamie walked up this huge ramp to talk to me. I was in such shock I couldn't even talk it was like seeing an alien or something. For like a month it was bothering me that maybe he thought I dissed him or something lol.

That little smirk was everything

I remember back in like 1996 or around that year, my buddy and I were skating across the street from my high school NNHS in Newport Beach CA. we were crossing the street and Jamie, elyssa steamer and I think Erik Ellington asked us where to skate. We told them to go to the HS across the street and they went there and filmed. So awesome to see Jamie IRL skate.

lol the whole time I thought he was doing a tre flip 50-50

YAAAAAAAAAAS BITCH YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSS

This is what always brought me back to skateboarding. Trying a trick for so long, blood sweat and tears... then finally pulling it off. Nothing beats that feeling. Nothing.

I remember having this poster on my room wall growing up. Never knew how much went into it until now.

the boss

Can't help but smile at the end. No feeling better then winning the battle.

Such an amazing story! Gets me hyped to go skate

When I was kid I was in San Fran. for thanksgiving with staying at my aunt's place. This whas when i was about 8 or so, and hadn't started skating (although my causin had been doing it for a while). I remember going for a walk past here and seeing a sign that said no skateboarding. I really didn't know why I remembered walking past there, until now. Seeing those benches next to the stairs really let me know that I had been there.

It's good to see this guy still tearing it up.

he is so dashed bloody spot on, there is no greater feeling than making the trick especially after you ve committed so much time, pain, energy, mental anguish, focus and work on getting the result satisfactorily accomplished. and I certainly agree that it seems like there isn t a human being alive who feels happier than you do when it happens..... thanks very much for sharing this video, really appreciate it.

Bring these back

I love watching this videos. Seriously inspiring.

God damn this is dedication to skateboarding at its finest. Jamie is among the best of em

Best new series. Thanks Thrasher!

Best series on KZfaq

That smile is pure joy

Jamie Thomas was one of my fav street skaters to play with on TONY HAWK PRO SKATER pure legend !!!!!!!
