--jake phelps-- 1985

jake was about 22yrs young in this photo.
straight from boston. crazy for sure.
dreads. slept in a closet. had no job.
christmas tree ramp in walnut creek.
sometimes i think of jake of the hunter s. thompson of skateboarding.
maybe that's to easy.
intense for sure.

Phelps is 100% skateboarder, kills it, and always remembers the regular skateboarders as well as the pros. And that's why Thrasher is still the best mag out there.
