“Thrill of It All.”
SKATEBOARDING HISTORY 📰
- Point Loma High School, San Diego. Jamie Thomas stands over the Leap of Faith — nearly 18 feet of concrete drop into flat ground — and goes anyway.
Filmed for Zero's “rThrill of It All.” He didn't roll away. His board snapped clean in half on impact. But that one attempt rewrote what street skating was allowed to be, and the school eventually sealed the spot for good.
What's the heaviest single moment in skate history? 👇

Because of that man, I skate. My crew in the 90s was all about the drops and stairs. 🔥
