Jamie Thomas

by Daniel Sparrow and Travis Abernathy


Jamie Thomas is one of the most innovative skaters of all time. Jamie was born on November 10th 1974. He grew up living in Dothan, Alabama. He currently resides in Encinitas California.Jamie went pro in 1987 and has been pro for 16 years. He generally skates regular but is just about as good switch. He has been pro for a very long time and doesn't intend on stopping anytime soon. He generally skates street and anything else he can find.

Jamie Thomas is one of the only christians I can think of that skates. He likes to do skate demo's for church youth groups, then reads verses out of the holy bible to the kids of the youth group. He also gives them messages that skateboarding isn't everything. He tells kids that you shouldn't skate to get sponsored, you should skate for yourself. He wakes up in the morning and the first thing that he does is a daily devotional.

Jamie Thomas is the only skater ever to try the Leap of Faith gap at the encinitas public school. The Leap of Faith gap is twenty feet figh. When he landed he shattered his board and sprained his ankle. Jamie breaks alot of boards that's why it's good for him to have a sponsor like Zero skateboards that hook him up with many boards. Jamie Thomas has four pro decks. He has skated for zero for 6 years now. He is also sponsored by circa shoes and Monster trucks, a company he helped create.
