Anthology of Song: Jamie Thomas

When it comes to video parts, skateboarding and music have always been harmonious. As a youth, when I’d buy a new skate video, I was just excited to hear the soundtrack as I was to see the skating. As a result, my passion for music actually stemmed from my passion for skateboarding. 

In this series, we highlight all the video parts from a skater’s career and the corresponding songs that go with them. We start off with the “The Chief”, Jamie Thomas—founder of Zero Skateboards and Fallen Footwear, and a legend in the sport. Dive in:
