R.I.P. Jake Phelps, Skateboard Icon & Thrasher Magazine Editor (1 Viewer)

Growing up I was a skateboarder and a Thrasher reader.

R.I.P.

RIP IN PEACE: Jake Phelps

Jake Phelps was 100% skateboarder, but that label sells him way too short, because beyond his enormous influence in our world, he was truly an individual beyond this world. There was no myth. The man was the myth. We love you, Jake. —Tony Vitello

aww that sucks. even as a bmxer, i still read thrasher religiously. ride bmx is a great magazine, but thrasher is definitely better.

last skateboard (deck at least) i owned was a power peralta lance mountain (hell yeah mountain of skulls brah).

i could ride easily, but as far as trucks went, lol. i should have just been a test dummy.
